News about Joey Barton

A gaffe happened in a private email exchange as Bristol Rovers clarified the details of a new electronic season ticket system coming in next season. The League One club is introducing e-tickets for season ticket holders and is offering a physical card for fans who don't want a ticket on their phone. In the email, between the club and a representative of its supporters' club, Bristol Rovers said the £15 for those who want a physical card will be waived for disabled fans. The email read: 'We have provided all disabled fans... to get free cards for them upon request. As for normal fans and older fans, they can purchase the card for £15, which is the exact cost on the club.'

The BBC 2 presenter has filed a libel claim at the High Court against the former Manchester City player. Mr Vine, 58, says after he was called the term on X, millions of people have read the post which accused him of having a 'sexual interest in children'. Lawyers for the journalist told the High Court their client is bringing defamation and harassment claims against the former Bristol Rovers manager. Mr Barton, 41, used the term 'nonce' to describe Mr Vine in posts on X in January, and refers to notorious paedophiles including Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile. He also refers to Phillip Schofield, the former TV presenter whose career collapsed when it was revealed he was having an affair with a younger male employee.

Joey Barton has taken aim at Gary Neville, calling the pundit a 'little shop steward' and claiming he knows 'little to nothing about football' on the heels of Manchester United's humbling at the hands of Crystal Palace. Erik ten Hag's side were torn apart by the competent and confident hosts at Selhurst Park on Monday evening, who claimed four goals without reply in what might have been a let-off for the shambolic visitors. 

Joey Barton has launched his latest tirade in the direction of Lionel Messi , by claiming that there should be an asterisk to his name due to the treatment he received as a child to combat a rare growth hormone deficiency. Messi is regarded as one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game, having won eight Ballon d'Ors and dominated the sport from over a decade. His exploits at Barcelona saw him become the club's greatest-ever player and record goal-scorer, while he also led Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022 - their first major tournament win since Diego Maradona 's 1986 side. However, according to former Premier League midfielder Barton, Messi's name should carry an 'asterisk' because he believes the icon was 'genetically modified' thanks to the treatment he was given early in his footballing career. Speaking on his Common Sense Podcast, the outspoken Barton said of the Argentine: 'He's asterisk though for me,' before going on to explain to his co-hosts.

Former footballer Alex Scott has taken up a surprising new role with KISS radio. Scott is known for being a presenter and pundit during coverage of both men's and women's football matches, featuring on Sky Sports and the BBC.  The former Arsenal player will be presenting her first show on KISS on Sunday at 7pm, during which she will be playing two hours of 'old skool anthems'.

Cheshire Constabulary confirmed they had received 'reports of offences under the Communications Act' and had sought to make 'multiple attempts' at arranging a voluntary interview with a 41-year-old from Liverpool. Barton (left) had hit out at the service after claiming online to have been approached at 9.30pm one evening when his children were in bed (inset), writing: 'Either it's a shambles or an attempt to intimidate me and my family. Welcome to North Korea.' He said he had been visited four times in three days by Cheshire cops, who he said had asked for a voluntary interview 'about something I've tweeted'.

Eni Aluko sat down with the Chair of the ' Chelsea pride' supporters group to discuss the 'transphobic post' she retweeted from JK Rowling. The former footballer was criticised for sharing Rowling's tweet which appeared to speak about 'mediocre males' participating in 'women's sport'. Aluko apologised for re-sharing Rowling's tweet and labelled the incident as a 'misunderstanding', claiming she 'did not interpret it as transphobia'. Aluko insisted she and the Chelsea LGBTQ supporters group were 'aligned and together in the fight against any form of discrimination'.

Joey Barton has revealed he has been visited by police three times in the last four days and hit out at 'attempts to intimidate me and my family' - before comparing the UK to North Korea.  The former Manchester City and Newcastle footballer has come under fire this year for his vile tweets about women working in men's football, infamously claiming female pundits 'shouldn't be talking with any authority' in the sport. His tirades at women online have also seen him compare pundit Eni Aluko and broadcaster Lucy Ward to notorious serial killers Fred and Rose West, while he also claimed that he would score 100 out of 100 penalties against England goalkeeper Mary Earps. 

In the latest episode of 'It's All Kicking Off!' the lads once again delve into the attacking issues at Arsenal as Chris gives his take on why Kai Havertz might be struggling up top and questions where that leaves Eddie Nketiah.

Chelsea's LGBTQ supporters group have hit out at Eni Aluko for 'sharing transphobic posts' after she retweeted a JK Rowling post about 'allowing mediocre males into women's sport'. Harry Potter author Rowling has been a vocal critic of the transgender movement and has clashed with activists online over her staunch views. Rowling's views recently led to an outcry for her to be investigated under Scotland's new hate crime rules. Rowling was referred to Scottish police for referring to a number of transgender women including campaigners, convicted prisoners and celebrities as 'men' in a range of tweets. 

Eni Aluko presented a dim portrait of working in men's football and claimed that the game in this country 'not a safe place for women'. The former Chelsea striker insisted that there are safety concerns both physically, in stadiums, as well as on social media. And questioned the effect it will have on the next generation of girls who are now 'alive to football' because of the success of the Lionesses. Aluko has suffered a torrent of abuse on social media, most prominently from Joey Barton. The former Manchester City midfielder has made a number of sexist rants against several female former players, pundits and commentators having a role in the coverage and analysis of men's football in recent months.

Former Southampton footballer Matt Le Tissier has bizarrely hinted that the government planned the 2020 lockdown to stop people going outside and enjoying the sunshine, as he bemoaned the current 'horrific' weather across the UK. Le Tissier, 55, posted the controversial claim to his 650,000 followers on X on Tuesday morning. He wrote: 'This year's weather so far has been horrific, wasn't it lucky for the government that 4 years ago when they locked us down we had wall to wall sunshine for weeks on end. It's almost like they planned it that way.'

After a bad experience with Joey Barton at Bristol Rovers, England's youngest head of recruitment has dubbed him a "bully." From February 2021 to his dismissal in October last year, the outspoken former midfielder was the club's boss from February 2021 until his dismissal in October. A former Bristol Rovers analyst has shared more about his time with Barton, in which he was told he was to do '50 keepy-ups' before being told he was's***' in front of other workers.

Matches have been so bonkers that it would be impossible to recall where you were when the craziness began to unfold for our viewing pleasure. Manchester United's snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Thursday, allowing Chelsea's Cole Palmer to score twice in the dying seconds of stoppage time. Mail Sport gathered our top maddest games from the Premier League's recent return to action.

Joey Barton has revealed that he believes there is a definite winner in the discussion between Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Paul Scholes. During his time in the Premier League, the former Newcastle United midfielder had the privilege of playing against all three players.

To be honest, his words have been far enough. His bile is getting more bilious. It has the ability to have a major effect on athletes' mental stability and encourage those who are still struggling with misogyny and misogynistic behaviour to take the next step. His most recent foray is a case in point. What started out as a public shaming of 17-year-old goalkeeper Ava Easdon after her loss with Rangers in the Sky Sports Cup final, became Barton's naming the women's game as 'lesbo ball.' Joey has a great one. Let's all play the lesbian card, shall we? Not only was this insulting, but it was childish in the extreme.

After a 'testing couple of months,' Alex Scott was honoured for her broadcasting work at the Royal Television Society Awards on Tuesday, she came dangerously close to quitting the television industry. At the dinner in London's Grosvenor House Hotel, the Football Focus host was rewarded with the Sports Presenter, Commentator, or Pundit prize. Alex, who won with partner Jess Glynne, gave an eloquent speech on her Instagram Stories addressing the challenges she encountered as a black woman in a male-dominated industry.

Rangers took aim at 'homophobic' and'misogynistic' remarks made about women's football on Tuesday night, the following were triggered by Tynecastle's Sky Sports Cup final on Sunday. Nicola Docherty, a Scotland international and Rangers captain, was one of those chastised for his scathing critique of Partick Thistle goalkeeper Ava Easdon. After the 17-year-old, currently on loan from Glasgow City, was at fault for Rangers' first goal in their 4-1 win, Barton told his followers on X: 'I mean let's just talk about the goalie!How is this nonsense on the box?'

Following Ava Easdon's appearance in the Sky Sports Cup final over the weekend, Joey Barton has denied allegations that he is 'bullying.' Rangers' first goal in the showpiece event - their 4-1 win on Sky Sports - was criticized on social media, and the former Man City and QPR midfielder joined in. He shared a clip of the goal and said: 'I mean let's just talk about the goalie!How is this nonsense on the box?'

ALISON MCCONNELL: Football is not a forgiving environment. If Ava Easdon didn't enjoy it before Sunday's Sky Sports Cup final, she will now. Nevertheless, the 17-year-old's flaws were held up to the most sarcastic and condescending of critiques this weekend. Megan Cunningham, the regular custodian, was unable to play against her parent club, so Easdon did not need the pile-on that came on the back of Joey Barton's whistle to his 2.8 million lapdogs. Mia McAulay netted the first goal of a game that Rangers won 4-1, and it was clear that the teen was at fault. She may have known her position was off from the time she heard the ball whistle whistled past her and into the back of the net.

COLUMN WOMEN'S FOOTBALL: It was only a matter of time before the discussion about whether the Women's Super League should have VAR resurfaced. When it comes to debating the pros and cons, the possibility of technology, and impossibility of it, the women's game has erupted in circles. Sure, let's go round again. Marc Skinner was the first to get involved after his Manchester United team was defeated in the derby with City.

Joey Barton has been branded a "bully" for his latest remarks about women's football on social media. Barton's most recent tirade saw him criticize Partick Thistle Women's goalkeeper Ava Easdon's performance in the Scottish Women's Premier League's (SWPL) Cup final. Easdon's first goal in the showpiece competition, which was broadcast on Sky Sports, was criticized on social media, and the former Man City and QPR midfielder joined in.

Fans of football have slammed the 'woke' St George's emblem on the new kit and demande that the shirts be removed from Nike and given to a British company. Since its unveiling earlier this week, England's latest strip has caused a stir among football fans. Nike gave the iconic kit a controversial makeover and changed the St George's flag on the collar by changing the shades to red, purple, and blue tones. Any England fans are outraged by the changes, and have promised not to buy the latest Three Lions Kit. Aaron Ononiwu, 53, of Putney, was taken aback by the change.

Joey Barton is the newest England fan to protest the 'playful upgrade' to the St George's Cross on the back of Nike's latest England shirt. The controversial former Manchester City, QPR, and Newcastle midfielder has long been chastised for his unfiltered viewpoints and remarks. We should assume that it was no surprise that he participated in this drama.
