I’m not a fan of convicted criminal football manager Steve Evans, but violent ex-convict and repeat offender Joey Barton is even worse. I don’t know why clubs employ him.

That would be 2015 or 16.
Thought it was up to the judge? From what I read of that incident there was a running feud between the two sets of management staff from previous games. In that particular game the Barnsley manager was leaping around in front of the Fleetwood dugout ‘giving it large’ after they scored – so all Hell broke loose between the dug outs and Barton was apparently the ‘peace-maker’ pulling people apart. (Sounds like the Adams v Ainsworth or Adams v Hughton doesn’t it?). Then when the match ended as they headed back to the dressing rooms verbals started again and it is then alleged Barton shoved the Barnsley manager into metal railings that caused him to loose a front tooth. Barton vehemently denies it was him. Who knows? Not me or you. Maybe it was him and he grabbed the back of his head and deliberately slammed his face into the railings – in which case he he’s a thug and deserves all he gets. But maybe it wasn’t him at all, or maybe it was a general scuffle with several people and the Barnsley manager ended up falling into the railings…….. but obviously Barton would be the one they’d want to blame. Let’s see what the judge makes of the CCTV shall we before judging?WoodsyGreen":r3o8x6u2 said:People do grow up and calm down. Has Barton? I suppose that'll be up to the judge at his trial this coming June for assaulting the Barnsley manager last season.
Once a nasty piece of work, always a nasty piece of work.

Playing devil's advocate - they are virtually all violent conflicts but with other young blokes. Clearly he has (or had) 'anger issues' and would fly at other young men who in his mind provoked him. The most serious was when he tried to put a cigar in a team-mate's eye ....but only after he had tried to set fire to his shirt. I'm not excusing such behaviour but ....well it's not like he abuses or attacks or cheats people he has power over. it's not bullying as far as I can tell (correct me if wrong) but his victims were all his equals when the red mist descends.
The reason I bothered looking it up is I know of a friend of a friend who looked after a holiday property he owns. Apparently she swears he is a lovely bloke "always quiet and polite". I dunno ..... just saying it could be a case of someone who was a once a wild young working class bloke who did some stupid things to other blokes when angered. But people do grow up and calm down.
