Can't stand Barton - crazy that he thinks he could get away with betting.. What is the Stephen Ireland reference?!

Ha ha - I fucked up. Looked for a suitable car to fit the story and didn't realise it was Ireland's !

Joey Barton. Legend inside his own head.

He's a hero. Got himself deliberately sent off for QPR vs. City so City could win the game and the title (and likely his bet) thereby denying United ..... probably.

He placed a bet on how many of his grannies were still alive and got 3/1 on six.

Burnley have announced that Joey Barton will wear the number 1260 jersey

Why is he charged with betting over a 10 year period when the rule on betting was introduced only 4 years ago?

Exactly what I thought. Maybe because he's a complete knob. And punches like a little girl.

Problem is you can't charge people for that though.
If so, most of the people on this forum would be doing 25 to life.

Well considering my karate background, I punch like a little man so I'd only be charged for being a knob. 2-3 years max.

I wonder if there could be an escalating scale of 6CM charges:
Knob - 2-3 years
Prick - 3-5 years
Cock - 5-10 years
Helmet - 10 - 15 years
Bellend - Life
