mrdave85 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 aaaaaand he's instantly released a statement where he has essentially said: It's not his fault He did bet on the teams he was playing for at the time to lose If it wasn't him the ban wouldn't have been as lengthy I'm not linking to it, because.

Anon Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Now, I don't want all the people who said we should sign Barton queuing up to apologise at once. We'll do A through G today, H to R tomorrow, and S to Z on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have my fingers and toes crossed that this will also scupper his burgeoning media career. Surely not even Talksport would hire someone who disrespected the game by betting against his own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm no fan of Joey Barton, but the length of that ban is harsh in the extreme. Personally, I hope he's successful with his appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I think the length of ban reflects breaching the integrity of the sport. Even if his bets were "honest" punts on what HD thought would happen - the suspicion will be he better then influenced the result to win the bet. It is harsh on him, but its one of those where the sport has to be seen to be very hard on those whos actions could bring the integrity into question. But on the other hand, its Joey Barton ?

And that's why they've used him as an example to others. Would Dele Alli, for example, have received an 18 month ban? Not a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
