Talk:Joey Barton

message: I have changed "stubbed out" to "poked" in the cigar incident.  The reference says "stubbed a cigar", http://www.carling.com/football/manchester-city-fc/joey-barton.html says "poked" and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=BLOGDETAIL&grid=P30&blog=yourview&xml=/sport/2006/02/02/uviewbarton.xml says "pushed".
I've also expanded on his sendings off, and removed "but hardly featured for the rest of the season, being injured or putting in below par performances as the club slipped from 8th to 15th" after the sentence on him signing a new contract in 2006.  Joey only missed 7 league games in 2005-06; only David James and Darius Vassell played more.  Chorleypie 21:07, 1 October 2006 (BST)
---I find the following statement,"He had two red cards in his first 120 games, both for two yellow cards" to be a little, well, odd.  I don't see the significance of two reds in his first 120 games, neither were straight reds.  I'm not saying he is innocent (in fact I know very little about Barton) but a breakdown of the yellows he has received would be a better representation of his on-field behaviour.Crx2gen 05:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right.  I put it in because a previous version talked specifically about one red card, and I wanted to point out that his record on the pitch isn't remarkably bad.  I've taken it out now.  Chorleypie 12:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the header is OK but I expect you're right that there's more to his personal life than this.  Feel free to add something!  While I'm on, I've deleted the 86.15.97.211 contribution "the media [neglected] to mention that he handed his shirt to a disabled Manchester City fan", because we have a BBC link which does mention this.

thread_title:  "Personal life" 

message: It's a very well written article, I just have a few small things to be addressed, some maybe personal preference so tell me if any of these go into that sort of area, cheers:
* In the lead sentence, it says "Joseph Anthony Barton (...) commonly known as Joey Barton", but I don't think it really needs the latter part because one already knows what he's commonly known as by the article name and the infobox as well.

message: Hi, I would like to put the images in this article in another languege article about Barton. Since the images belong to to English wikipedia, I still can't do that. Can the authors of these images upload them to wikimedia commons so that I could use them myself? Thanks, YemeniteCamel (talk) 08:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it 6 months in prison, or is he just currently in jail? CorleoneSerpicoMontana (talk) 12:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "He is currently serving a six month prison term and plays for English Premier League club Newcastle United, as a midfielder." - if he's currently in prison, he doesn't currently play for Newcastle, so this sentence needs sorting out. Any ideas? Bingobangobongoboo (talk) 14:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What about "He is currently contracted to English Premier League club Newcastle United and plays as a midfielder. He is currently serving a six month term in prison."? --116.49.132.113 (talk) 16:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

text: There is no such thing as “Jail” in the UK he was in prison, the article is incorrect but can’t be edited. 51.191.1.87 (talk) 22:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  6 months sentence 

message: I think it is appropriate to prefix Joey Barton with the adjective "disgraced", given his recent spell in prison for assault and affray, not to speak of his history of disciplinary problems  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrorballman (talk • contribs) 22:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The lead has become unruly. Some of the third paragraph of the lead should be in the "Personal life" section keeping the lead a summary. WP:LEAD might help.

message: This article has surely got to be a candidate for Featured Article status, or at least be given the slight bit of work it needs for the final push in to making it FA. It is well-written, well-referenced and has a good number of photos. Professor Toon (talk) 19:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featured Article worthy? 

message: The table listing club appearances doesn't tally:
* 130+81+26 league games ≠ 230; 
* 26+1 games for QPR ≠ 26;
* 153+84+26 games by club ≠ 230+13+6+5 games by competition ≠ 255 total games.

message: During Burnley's defeat against Lincoln City in the 2017 FA Cup Joey Barton claimed contact by Imps' striker Matt Rhead and went down clutching his head.  This is the latest incident in a long-standing dispute with Rhead. A replay showed no contact was made and Barton's actions have been condemned by the wider football community particular in light of Barton's 3rd February 2013 tweet where he stated "Players who roll around when nobody touches them should be subsequently banned. I hate cheats. Authorities should address it."  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/18/joey-barton-slammed-embarrassing-performance-old-diving-tweet/ PINEAPPLES (talk) 13:37, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
