Newcastle thug should be ’sacked on spot’ according to fans

As well all know, the fans play an important role as far as Newcastle United is concerned. Take the decision to appoint Kevin Keegan as manager last January for example, if that wasn’t a move to appease the Gallowgate faithful, what was it?
Now, the Magpies supporters are protesting against the club’s decision to give Joey Barton another chance, after the midfielder was released early from prison. Quite understandably, the folk on Tyneside are outraged that the midfielder has a reprieve and will continue to earn £65,000 a week, continuing as normal. The Daily Mirror report that Barton should expect a mixed reaction next term - until he scores a 90th minute winner!
Independent fans’ chief Frank Gilmour said “In any other job Barton’s shameful actions would have meant instant dismissal.
“I’ve seen the assault on CCTV and can’t believe Newcastle are planning talks with him. He should be sacked on the spot.”
Barton’s attack in Liverpool came while he was on bail for an assault on then Man City teammate Ousmane Dabo that left his victim unconscious.
Frank added: “As a union man, I represent employees at tribunals and if an ordinary worker did what Barton did on two occasions, I’d be unable to defend him.”
Derek Wake, a season ticket holder for 25 years, said: “They should tear up his contract. He should not be allowed to be a part of a great club like ours.”
Another fan, Nick Dryden, wrote on an internet forum: “It’s an open secret that players have refused to join the club because of Barton.
“We are a national disgrace if we don’t kick him out right now.”
Strong words from the supporters, who simply can’t come to terms with how a footballer with the world at his feet can instead find a man at his feet, having knocked him to the ground. Not that the club seem willing to listen to the fans on this occasion, with this decision to keep hold of him based on business not morals.

Really don’t know which fans you’ve been talking too, my guess is you’ve been speaking to the ilustriuos newcastle insider who by my best guesses is a london mackem who seems to have ties to every newsrag in the country.
All the lads who sit round mine and my bros seats think he’s the best CM’er we have and to replace him would cost a fair whack… We’re more than willing to forgive him for beating up a chav on a night out in bin dipper town…

RE: Spurt
Ethics… 0 v 10 Finacial decision I think you’ll find thats nearer the equation used….

I think it’s disgusting that the club didnt sack him after he beat up one of his own players on our own training ground……..oh no wait a minute…….that wasnt us…….that was at Man City……..I wonder why no-one ever asks why they didnt deal with the problem when it arose and it is just a “Newcastle issue”?
Pot - kettle…….idiots - idiotic, one dimensional, media led opinions.
Nick Dryden - July 29th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Jeez there are some half headed morons out there - just about on Barton’s level. How good barton is alleged to be isn’t the issue. Barton is a serial pycho nutter. Much better to save 12M in future wages. Just watch the videos. it doesn’t get any easier
Bathing Ape - July 29th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Also…in response to Frank “the union” Gilmore’s moronic comments. I would also like to point out that in any other walk of life he would have served his punishment and now be allowed to continue his life without every fucking arsehole in the country giving their “expert” opinion on the situation.
Spurt - July 29th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I’m sure some of them haven’t seen the videos, but if they have and still want him, they have to be in the moron bracket as well!!!!

I see you are a trained clinical psychologist Mr Dryden with that, obviously, educated and informed opinion. I mean, if you weren’t then you would just be some muppet regurgetating the opinion of the gutter press on an internet forum……and I am sure that you’re not that….. are you?
Bathing Ape - July 29th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Ah Spurt…..an advocate of trial by video are you? Have you ever been out in any town or city across england on a Saturday night? What Barton did takes place everywhere…..and I wonder if you take such an interest in every reported assault case that you read about. Once again it appears that you must also be a fellow of high education to match your morality if you wish to join the media in their role as judge, jury and executioner in a matter where you sole, bleating argument is “look at the video”……or are you another muppet?
Spurt - July 29th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Bathing Ape…..what can I say? The judge, jury and law of this land, has convicted our fellow countryman when brought to trial. They found him guilty of irrational,violent conduct against the person. In the outside world upon release, he would probably have been dismissed, especially in a high profile profession. It is irrelevant what happens down your street on a Saturday night.

Pias rubbish. The last regime paid £6M quid for this guy, KK now has to get the best out of him. Anyone thinking different needs to ask would they be so moral if it was there own money. I for one was Asbo scoring goals left, right and centre for the Toon next season THEN we can sell him.

So you didnt understand what I wrote then Spurt….never mind, you can purchase the Sun in another 7 hours to tell you what opinions to have for another day. To conform is to belong eh Spurty?
Spurt - July 29th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Very glib Mr Ape!
YSB - July 29th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Barton is f**king scum but if the Geordies want to be associated with him that’s their look out. That said I can understand them not wanting to lose out on an investment. It’s a pity the FA can’t reimburse them as he should have been banned for life when he put the cigar in the eye of a youth player.
truegordie - July 29th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
alot of people want him kicked out of newcastle and football altogether but remember duncan fergerson and many more who have done the same silly and stupid mistakes he will be key for us and a couple of games down the line the fans will be thanking king kev and ashley for not getting stot of him
biastsouthernarses - July 29th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
more southern bias,,,got nowt better to do than report shite

What the hell is Newcastle meant to do? They can only sack him from the club-not stop him from playing football! Now-I think the clubs should be insured against this sort of thing, and the PFA should have kicked him out of football altogether. Same goes for Cantona, and the rest of the thugs! As for Joey-he should have been kicked out of football, whilst at |Manchester City! But then we would never have had Woodgate (but then neither-would Tottenham). My God, that would have put Leeds in a bigger mess!

Bathing ape - given the tone of your language, ie calling anyone with a valid opinion a f….ing a…hole, immediately gives you very little credibility my friend.
In every other walk of life, Barton most probably would have been sacked.
How would you feel if it was your kid brother was getting kicked to within an inch of his life.
It’s a vacuous and losing argument you portray my friend. It really doesn’t require a trained clinical physchologist, just an ounce of human decency but if you don’t see that, I guess anarchy and random attacks on fellow human beings are ok in your book.
Your comments are as ironic as Barton calling NUFC fans ”vicious”.
It shouldn’t take place every night if you are a dedicated professional on 60K a week and for those in ”normal” life, I would be very surprised if they got away with 74 days inside as the maximum for similar repeated offences.
Karl - Fenham Hustler - July 30th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
They would get away with less than 74 i assure you that. ‘Within an inch of his life’.. So you were also the attending GP i see. To be fair, it happens all the time, and dare i say it.. The video doesnt even look bad, the kid would’ve only reported it cause he knew there’d be some money in it for him..
That said, Joey is a silly boy.. But he’ll come good, of that i am sure
And us newcastle fans are vicious.. If you’re shit, southern, a mackem, or its cold and we’re in level 7
