What a colossal C U next Tuesday.

BBC News - Joey Barton: ITV criticises 'vindictive remarks' from ex-footballer towards female commentators
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67897623

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

Of course it’s wrong. Only an ignorant fool would think otherwise.

Look at the likes of Sherwood and Merson. I’d listen to my grandmother’s opinions over those two.

My point is more about people being allowed opinions without being attacked, abused and shouted down. It would be boring if we all agreed all the time.

Attacking and abusing people is Barton's MO and is precisely what he's been doing to female pundits and commentators lately. You seem to think his abuse of these individuals should be tolerated and respected, which is rather an odd take, rather than people pointing out he's a weapons-grade bellend, which he clearly is. As has already been pointed out, claiming "you can't say anything these days" when people are responding to something someone has literally said is utter gubbins. The right to free speech doesn't come with a right that what you say has to be respected.

On reflection I think you're right, so I've cancelled out my down arrow. Sadly there are some posters on here who would say that unironically.

Barton is allowed an opinion. In fact he could put out an evidenced based opinion on thinking a pundit is poor etc. He didn't do that. He went after all women football pundits essentially and then doubled down day after day, taking it up a notch and to the ridiculous and disgusting comments he came out with yesterday.

These clips of female pundits live getting a word muddled up or forgetting a name to make them look dreadful is really poor as well in my opinion. On live TV this actually happens all the time with footballers being brought on to shows Men/Women. It takes a lot of time I get comfortable in front of the camera. Anyone remember when Matt Holland started. He was really nervous and poor for quite a long time. He's really comfortable and professional these days. Town TV is getting more polished by the week and they are all ex pro men. You'd be able to pull so many bad clips of them in the army days though and even some now.

Call yourself a card carrying woke lefty and you don't like Stewart Lee?

The routine in question is pretty old now, and involves Lee taking the role thar Red x has taken in this thread, and getting increasingly agitated about how 'you can't say anything these days', culminating in the bit matey posted in the thread. The phrase 'these days' gets used about 100 times.

Ah thanks.

Can you provide any evidence of me supporting any racist or mysogynist commments?

The fourth post in this thread has backed one of Barton’s opinions. Has anyone had a go off that poster? 🤷🏽‍♂️


They wouldn’t dare :)

For the record. JB is an odious , horrible individual who should be consigned to a very small dark locked Room for a very long time , and subjected to 24 hours on repeat of “cest la vie” by b*witched

As far as agreeing with his points - I’ll give you some clarity - II agree there are good and poor female commentators and I agree that eluko is poor (although with time etc..)

I do not agree that all female commentators should “stick to their own game”. That’s a very outdated view and should be consigned to history

It’s quite simple

This whole thread here where you're suggesting that bigoted individuals be allowed to openly express their bigotry without any kind of comeback and that said bigoted individuals have a 'fair point' is pretty strong evidence, I'd suggest.

Appears to be having a break down. Dangerous language being used and enabling dinosaurs.

I don’t think Aluko is a good pundit but as others have said there’s plenty of bad males.


'Appears to be having a break down'.

You occasional reminder here that being a c**t isn't actually a mental illness.

But it’s true that you can’t say sfa these days without a load of “MattinLondons” abusing you for having a different opinion to them.

Barton is a fool but it doesn’t mean he’s wrong in everything he says.

Don’t be such a cock.


So you believe in freedom of speech when it comes to somebody running a highly public campaign against some women who are doing their jobs, including comparing them to two sadistic child-abusing murderers, but if someone says the word "cock" to you in reply that is "abuse"?

And then that is proof that "you can't say anything"?

No, you can say things. Barton said things. You said things. And then other people said things back.

It looks like you want to be able to say things and have everyone agree with you, which is a different thing from free speech entirely.

Free speech means being able to respond freely to self-promoters, egotists, narcissists, misogynists, racists, homophobes, left wingers, right wingers, climate change deniers, climate change activists, the wokerati, Top Gear presenters, Tory MPs on TV channels with incredibly low viewing figures, the Secretary General of the United Nations, comedians with opinions or anyone else

The tragedy of Joey Barton is that he wanted to be considered an intelligent footballer, like Eric Cantona, on and off the field. But on the field he was a ringer for Danny Tiatto, and off it for him out of Right Said Fred.
