He should be banned for life. But he won't because life bans are illegal in law these days. I guess the BBC will have a job/interview for him using our license money, as they did with George Best; the first day he was out of prison he was on Grandstand (or some BBC programme). You mean like Vincent pericard playing for Stoke a few days after his prison release ? |

Durham and Gough offering a vigorous defense for the gambling industry on Talksport. Seconds later an advert comes on offering a ten pound free bet!

Talksport are the only broadcaster stupid / low enough to employ him for his services, it's like his second home. That and Ladbrooks. |

Whereas Crouch is a PR dream, Barton is a PR nightmare. He is a knob and deserves everything he gets. How many fresh chances has he been given? Hope we never see him again.

FA gave Burnley midfielder 'shortest possible ban'In the written reasons explaining Wednesday's decision, the FA revealed Barton placed 1,260 bets worth £205,172, at a loss of £16,708. The 34-year-old Burnley midfielder has admitted he is addicted to gambling. But the FA said a "dismissive attitude to the rules" was also a factor. "His addiction may have distorted his thinking in part, but it is not a compete answer for this continued conduct," the FA said.

Its not about the betting though is it. The bloke has pinched a living whilst acting like a cunt the whole way through. He will now appear as a pundit FFS. What a fucking prick

He'd have walked into our team up until a few years ago. It's a shame his attitude has totally overshadowed his football. A colossal knuckle dragger. |

So we'll base it on Barton (the guilty party) telling us what HE says are the ones the FA felt were the worst and 100% believe that's that then?  Personally i'll wait until the FA tell us what THEY saw as being the worst rather than just believing him who now seems to be getting as many excuses out first (before the FA speak out with the facts) while he can. The man completely lied previously about his gambling and not knowing why Rangers had sent him home but now he's 100% telling the truth....yeah, okay then. You don't half come across as wanting an argument for arguments sake sometimes. You said you didn't know the ins and outs of the bets, I pointed you in the direction of where there was some information. I've not actually passed any opinion on the truth or otherwise although as it happens I don't believe he's stupid enough to lie about the bets the FA judged the most pertinent and these are mainly vets bets on his team. The amounts are pretty small for a man of his wealth but that's irrelevant as it's been proved he broke FA rules 1,260 times so he's done, the addiction argument is rubbish as he'd be betting thousands of that was the case. not really looking for an argument fyd, considering the fact i'd already made the point about 3 times that the "evidence" of a guilty man is hardly proof of anything is it? Didn't intend it to be facetious if you hadn't read me previously make that point. Like you, i hadn't cast an opinion on the rights or wrongs of how harsh his punishment may have been, i was simply saying that we should wait until we heard both sides as Barton has form for not being 100% truthful (or at the very least being "selective" with his understanding of the truth) when it comes to his side of various stories. Apologies if any offence caused, genuinely |

After stubbing out a cigar in the eye of a youth team player he should have been banned many years ago. Instead, he has been allowed to earn an absolute fortune over a long career whilst committing offence after offence at club after club. He's a morally bankrupt coward as he displayed the day he was dismissed for QPR at Man City on the day his club needed him the most.
He will not be missed. Vermin.
