Joey Barton

Did I mention the Jewish community?
I was relying to the point about the word being in use before 1940s and that even in its literal meaning it was a misuse by Barton

right ok, lets all google the entomology of words.
Derby day Massacre - that is out, no butchery was involved, Vegans will be absolutely livid.
Salah will be pissed off thinking he scored an hatrick when he wasn't even playing cricket.

Barton didn't refer to the victims of German genocide and no one was really upset by his comments it was just another axe grinding escapade (weirdly with no escaping needed)

At the risk of being that guy; entomology is the study of insects. Etymology is the study of the origin of words.

This is from a dull FOC who used to know his chironomidae from his mayflys.

Before anyone says it; no I really don't get out much.

Jamie Pollock described Kevin Horlock's sending off for aggressive walking against Bournemouth as 'a holocaust of a decision' back in 1999. I can recall people being a bit perplexed but maybe it's a term that's been used more commonly in football than anyone would like to admit.

Yes but it's also a stupid expression in that context too. You could substitute in a word like "abortion" and it still provocative.

Which was kind of the point, don't use provocative language and then complain if you provoke the wrong people because you were too shortsighted to choose your words better.

He should have been chucked out of football a decade ago , the only time that lazy prick at the players association did any work it was to stick up for him

When I saw that Gordyola liked your comment, for a minute I thought Gordon Taylor was on Bluemoon!

I wasn't defending what was said, just pointing out that it had happened before with City.

Joey Barton started off his career with City and played more games for us than any other team.
I like to remember him when he came through the youth policy (no Academy complex and much success then) and looked a really good prospect.
Unfortunately, he has turned out to be a "wrong 'un" with his many violent outbursts.
However, remember that the added extra minutes when we beat QPR, were down to him and his temper. So thank you Joey...
 
Not sure in this case that the post match press conference of any Bristol Rovers manager needs such publicity. The fact its jb clearly is relevant especially as he cant help himself and its when not if the next one occurs. Merci

I prefer to remember him as a former Newcastle United player, especially on that occasion that the Toon fans were chanting “We’re got Joey Barton!” to rib us and we mockingly chanted back “You’re got Joey Barton!!”, the look on the thug’s face as he sat on the bench was priceless…:)
