Barton is just one of those people who are so, annoying­ to see... When I saw him come on, for Newcastle vs.­ Arsenal, two days ago, in the 89th minute, I was maybe­ a little surprised about him getting booed, but then he­ did two horrible tackles, and yah, this guy should be­ in jail, put the weirdo back.

I'm not sure who's worse, Barton or some of the­ people who have posted on this story. Seems like­ it's a tie, you all should be sacked (including­ Barton).

Had Joey Barton been a foreign player was the treatment­ going to be the same? I seem to remember a certain­ Turkish international [Alpay] who had his contract­ terminated for standing up against a certain Englishman­ [David Beckham].

Don't forget, if he was a black­ player, he will be history too.

All those people that are supporting giving Joey Barton­ a second chance, would you still feel the aame way if­ he had assaulted one of your family ? I don't­ think so. Time and time again he has been given a­ chance but he still carries on bullying and assaulting­ innocent people. He should be dealt with accordingly­ like the normal working man would of been and put in­ jail for a reasonable amount of time and paid his dues.­ To add insult to injury he walks out and back into his­ job as if nothing has happended. Once thug like this,­ always a thug. I always believe everyone should be­ given a second chance but he has well surpassed this. ­ Kevin Keegan you should be ashamed of yourself­ encouraging thuggery, God help Newcastle this season. ­ Just what has Barton got to do to get his punishment ??­ Kill someone ??

KK really is stupid. I wonder if he would take this­ animal back after he assulted one of his sons???

Why do the Magpies keep hiring thugs whose names begin­ with B? Bowyer, Bellamy, Barton. A few decent defenders­ would be nice, whatever their initials.

Barton was a shocking signing in the first place,­ Newcastle need to get things in order before it all­ crumbles. Mid table finish at the strongest this­ season. to many overpayed wusses including the Manager­ I was one of very few NUFC fans who seen the­ appointment of Keegan as a mistake, (the bloke screwed­ it up when he had some passion, Aswell as the loss of­ his perm he has also lost his mind.

Dont take him out prison it is his home he will miss it­ he will just go back

Willie Woodburn was banned sine die for his 4th red­ card on the field of play. That little worm Barton­ should get the same punishment , and never allowed to­ play football of any grade anywhere in the world. The­ same should happen to Keegan. Bullyboyhater

this scumbags family killed anthony walker and last­ year his two cousins brothers of paul barton stabbed my­ nephew to death just a matter of time before this­ scumbag goes to far he should be hanged along with the­ rest of his family

COMPLETE @#$%. Needs to be put down like a rabid­ animal. Oh The troubles NUFC will this season!

Such a lot of ugliness for the beautiful game.
Joe.

scummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I first thought he was a sick animal and should be put­ down. But then I saw sense, this is no animal, he is­ the type of filthy f*cking scum that we see on tv every­ day of the week. He should be stripped naked, tied up,­ and let all the families that he has hurt loose on him.­ Kick the @#$% out of him, then his scum bag murdering­ brother. Chop em up and feed up to pigs. That should do­ it. Oh, and Keegan, I think you should look in the­ mirror mate,,, you really are a tw*t.

Joey Barton is a bad boy. He can never be a Muslim. ­ Iris

send him back to prison coz thats where he belongs

KEVIN KEEGAN SHOULD BE SACKED AS MANAGER OF NEWCASTLE­ FOR TAKING BARTON BACK WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DOES THIS­ GIVE THE KIDS BARTON AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ARE OUT AND­ OUT THUGS THEY ARE DESPISED IN LIVERPOOL HE STRUTS­ AROUND LIKE NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIM AND UNFOURTANTLY KEVIN­ KEEGAN AND THE FA HAVE PROVED HIM RIGHT I URGE ALL TRUE­ FOOTBALL FANS AND DECENT PEOPLE TO GIVE HIM NOT­ NEWCASTLE FANS THE HARDEST TIME POSSIBLE HE IS THE SCUM­ OF THE EARTH

Joey barton deserves another chance whatplanet does­ Keagan come from? Had Joey Barton been a foreign player­ was the treatment going to be the same? I seem to­ remember a certain Turkish international [Alpay] who­ had his contract terminated for standing up against a­ certain Englishman [David Beckham]. His offence was­ "Remember where wages come from you cannot do that­ to our golden balls because it tarnishes the image of­ the club [Aston Villa]" If thats the moral high­ ground that clubs are prepared to take in an effort to­ preserve their IMAGE, what sort of image are Newcastle­ looking to portray thugery, savagery, notoriety you­ name it? Are our children expected to follow the same­ model that Barton is setting? Wake up TOON refuse to be­ associated with the immoral. Joey Barton should be in­ prison where he belongs.
