Joey Barton - how many second chances does one man get ?
August 5, 2008
Joey Barton’s name will be remembered in football circles long after he’s retired. Not because he’s a great player but because ,currently at least, he’s a disgrace to the game of football.
I’m all in favour of people being given a second chance to be a success or to redeem themselves. Just because someone committed a crime when they were 16 or 18 doesn’t mean to say that by the time they’re in their mid-twenties that they can’t hold down good jobs or be a credit to society.
Unfortunately Barton no longer deserves a second chance and Kevin Keegan’s determination to allow Barton back into a Newcastle shirt straight after completion of a 6 month prison sentence for assault committed on the streets of Liverpool after a drunken incident on December 27th 2007 is unwise at best, utterly stupid at worst. Barton has a history of violence both at the workplace and on the streets. Many of Newcastle’s toon army,have probably temporarily, turned against Keegan because of his willingness to forgive Barton.
Newcastle punished Barton harshly for his transgression (!!!!!!) still paying him £60k a week but depriving him of such fantastic perks as his Newcastle box for family and friends and the help of a club driver. How will he survive?? Read more
