    Forgetting the tribalism between United & Liverpool for a moment, there is nothing you can say to convince me of that comment you just made. United are the media darlings and many of them are United supporters. The ones who aren't seem terrified of him.

    I genuinely have no idea how to respond to this.

    Us Liverpool fans are just being paranoid. :rolleyes:

    The liverpool fans saying they hoped he died in a car crash, and hoped his entire family died of cancer weren't doing themselves any favours.

    The equivalent to mutterering something under your breath in class, and the guy beside you telling the teacher.

    Tweet was there 4 hours later I was able to see it on his time line

    Screen shot in the OP is 55 mins after it was posted.

    Far too many modern journalists love being the story. Twitter really exposes them for the fücking twats they are. That comment should cost him his job.

    Indeed. It was all over twitter long before Barton mentioned it.

    The tweet Barclay was replying to.

    There was no mention of sky in the tweet unless i'm missing something.:confused:

    Rupert Murdoch is mentioned in the tweet, and he owns Sky. It is not a massive leap between the initial 'everything Murdoch owns/does is evil' to 'Sky are evil'.

    EDIT: Actually, not going to get into what I think he meant, not worth it as not sure.

    The original tweet directed at him is on about taking Murdochs cash. He works for both Sky & The Times so could be about either or both.

    Joey Barton has weighed in now

    ''misconstrued your words, did they Patrick? Interesting for u to feel what its like on the other side of the street. How is it?''

    Exactly. It's not particularly having a go at sky

    I think we can add football journalists - to football players - of people who shouldn't be using Twitter.

    Get off your high horses, all of you. We all say stupid stuff occasionally the only difference being that not everything we say is documented.

    It was a stupid comment to make but if you are needled repeatedly throughout your day eventually you will crack and make an arse of yourself. A person should not be judged solely on one throwaway comment to a troll on the internet.

    Not really. Unless you follow paddy barclay and were on twitter for the couple of minutes it was up, you wouldn't have heard about it.

    Unless you were in the college at the time you wouldnt hear him shouting either. He still said it to an awfull lot of people in a public way,

    .

    If it was would you not be a bit more careful about what you say?

    I dont know how many posts I've type out in the heat of things and deleted before hitting submit. Sometimes typing them out calms me a bit, I still dont post them though.

    It was on twitter, it's not like someone was standing shouting in his face, its much easier to ignore and you have as much time as you like to relax and think about replys.

    The future president of the United states recently said he "didn't care about poor people". Thats a huge gaffe from somebody who has teams of people watching what he says. Politicans spend half their lives minding what they say and they make a balls of it too.

    You can be as careful as you like but we all say stupid stuff. You shouldn't be hanged on it.

    It's not Barclay's first time to make an irresponsible and unpleasant comment though. And he initially stood by this comment - not a sign of something said in the "heat of the moment" or whatever.

    Even on the Talksport piece, he insisted he'd say it again - only to someone over a table rather than on twitter.

    Got to admire a man who will stick by his principles, as long as no one can hear them...

    Everything we type here is documented. I have nearly twice as many posts on here as he has tweets (and that means a hell of a lot more words) and I've never made a horrible dig about Heysel. The same for plenty of other boards users. And as has been pointed out, he stood by the comment initially and doesn't seem to have a problem with the sentiment, only where he said it.

    You don't post using your real name though.

    Which would make it even easier for him to make sickening comments!

    The tweet was up for several hours, it certainly was not deleted straight away.

    Fergie is despised, journos always making up **** and trying to cause controversy with United and heaps of other clubs, your team is far from being the only one.

    Despise him or not, they are still ****ting of him, they wouldn't try half the **** on Fergie that they do to many others.
