Joey Barton Twitter

eh i dunno

What is wrong with this guy? For an average journeyman player who is more famous for his off field antics than anything he's ever done on the pitch he sure knows how to tweet a load of shoite. Latest comment tonight


If ur English, u play for England. If ur English and sh*t, u pretend ur Irish grand parentage matters to u and play for Ireland!

bohsman

Its true...

seanybiker

Makes sense tbf.
He does come out with some crap from time to time but its hilarious seen him trying to be a calm peaceful person.

Post the rest of his tweets on the topic and you might paint a more balanced picture.

I have actually warmed to the guy over the last while.

Kinda glad he's not irish.

How can such average player tweet so much crap? Trying to look intelligent by quoting other people and thinks he's some sort of angel. Every club he's left has done better without him.

seanybiker

Ah sure after reading all the tweets then there's no problem. Sure he said if he could have then he would have claimed Irish grandparents.

If Ireland were so crap how come in the last 5 games we played them we beat England twice and drew other three.:pac::pac::pac::pac:

He doesnt claim that either.

He was having a go at Matt Holland because he said something negative about him on a radio show. Who does he think he is? Pathetic

I'd see it as the opposite. Doesn't matter where my grandparents are from, it's about where I'm from.

Still remember one of the Charlton era "Irishmen" in the BBC/ITV studio during a recent championship happily saying "we" about England.

No he doesn't. Fact is Clinton Morrison and the likes were never getting called up for England so they declared for Ireland. Not the same as saying that Ireland are ****e.

That beer comment is uncalled for. Do you say that about all recovering alcoholics with a slightly controversial statement? Sad really.

In all fairness joeys turned him self around, fair play to the lad. Defiantly improved his game or at-least he got more recognition on the pitch when all the off the pitch episodes stopped.

Joey Barton's not an alcoholic though. He just acted like an arsehole when he was drunk

A Primal Nut

I definitely respect his opinion with this. If I was a professional footballer, I would find it difficult to play for anyone other than Ireland regardless of where my grandparents are from. He feels the same way about England and he is perfectly entitled to. His point about English players with Irish grannies taking places from genuine Irish players is a valid one. It's a tricky one for me as I would rather see fully Irish players but I also want to see the Irish team do well so I've accepted the English players who declared for us in the past. But I can certainly understand the viewpoint Barton makes here.

He makes his point using extreme language in order to be funny, calling players "****e" etc but I think most intelligent people can figure out what he really means.

Loved his FM12 tweets today too.

'Just had my 1st argument with myself on FM 2012. Gonna have to quit, cos am doing my own head in.'

'FYI @footballmanager I am not born in Runcorn. I am not 5'9 (5'11) and I am not 11st (12st). If ur gonna do it properly...'

He's still a knacker, but he seems more down to earth than most footballers, who are just repeating the same old tired cliches their publicists tell them to say. E.g. Rooney saying "Obviously, ya know, it's all about the three points" after a cup game.

Do you seriously think that Barton is worried about taking someones place in a team?

SirDelboy18

He should quit with the resentment for the fact that he isn't good enough for England and never will be. QPR is his level, I'd say he should focus on not getting relegated rather than who is going to play international football.

I didn't try correct him. I quoted what he said and made a guess at what he meant. Surely someone with your grammar skills should be at least able to read.

Anyways no more off topic chit chat from meself so knock yourself out kid.


What he said was right anyways so personally I don't see any problem with it. After reading all the tweets then its easy to see he meant any country and only used ireland as an example

CSF wrote: »

He's not making a point, he's having a dig. He's annoyed that Matt Holland had a go at him on the radio tonight (anyone know was it a dig at him personally, or was it related to what he did on the pitch?), and his response is to have a personal dig at Matt Holland, and his ability to be a decent pundit despite not being a world class player. Seems out of line to me, if Holland's comments did relate to football matters

Sure has, I ave him in my FF from the off and has been an inspiration, but the axe is falling on him this week.

The_Kew_Tour

Apparently this all started over something Matt Holland said, is that true??

Esse85

He's spot on in fairness, if Scott Parker (or somebody not always looking for attention) said that then nobody would bat an eyelid and rightly so.

If he spent the same amount of time improving his game than he does on twitter he'd be a far better player.

The most annoying thing about his tweets tonight is that he and lots of other Brits consider Ireland still to be a 'Home Country'.....that really annoys me!

Not really. If Barton took exception to what Holland said, whatever it was, he is within his rights to say something back, especially when it is completely true and not exactly overly cruel or personal. If it was the other way around and someone having a go at Barton, people would be calling him a legend, left, right and centre.

Sorry if it's been mentioned already but apparently his outburst was caused by something Matt Holland said on talksport

there is one tweet missing from the earlier post:

@mattholland8 heard a few rumours uve been using my name in vain? Hope its not true.......

So this is obviously his way of getting back at Holland for some sort of perceived attack...hence Irish was the first nationality he jumped to..

using my name in vain.....what an utter utter twat he is.

FFS, is he not allowed to have an opinion on things? I'd rather listen to him in an interview or read his tweets than Wayne Rooney and the like with their boring clichés and tweets about what they had in Nando's.

Apparently newstalk contacted talksport to see what might have been said and it was all round confusion...

They were talking about QPR and the sacking of Warnock and I think Holland mentioned his name just in passing as captain of the club or something along those lines...

To each their own I suppose, in my view he is controversial for the sake of making headlines, and is an incredibly bitter man, whose profile is only high because he is a criminal and also because he is a perceived "hard man" when he is nothing of the sort
