Joey Barton - Genius or Loudmouth idiot?

[DeepcutHoop]

Neither.

Just says it how it is in his own opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

Depends on what his opinion is.

Saying what you think regardless is not a positive trait IMO

[Rangersw12]

Genius!! Love the fella! even when he weren't at rangers.. don't give a sh1t what anyone thinks

Did you enjoy him taking the **** out of the club on twitter all last season ?

Especially when he is representing the club we all love

"Been at war with Hughes for 2 months and it came to a head with Tevez" & people still think Adel was the destabilising factor in the squad, no wonder he legged it to the bus stop.

I think Joey's a one off, in the sense that he's a Joey verses the world kind of character... in other words no matter what he says people will always judge him for being Joey, not being a part of QPR.

True. But I've also seen many many time's references to Joey Barton tweets this, Joey Barton tweets that.... I remember one particular time when he tweeted something about a horrible shirt Alan Shearer was wearing on Match Of The Day. And it was all about Joey then, not a mention of QPR.

Hasn't got to be all the time , he is still regarded as QPR's Joey Barton... Or Joey Barton of QPR ... When he speaks or tweets he is representing the club he plays for, when he moves on he can spout what he likes

Does that go for Remy as well?

Absolutely, yes goes for every player that wears the shirt, they represent all of us and the club , fans have a duty to in my eyes to represent the club

I personally think player's are looked at as individuals as a pose to representing their club. For example people don't think any less of the club just because of a few tweets made by a player.

[Kit]

Genius - No
Loudmouth - Yes
Idiot - He is not
Quite often says what the fans are thinking themselves, just footballers these days have been trained to keep their mouths shut, whereas Joey doesn't.

Nicolas Anelka ?

He's an idiot. But his gestures haven't changed my views on W.Brom.

No your missing my point mate, he was deemed as representing WBA when he made that gesture hence he was sacked, so players are responsible for there actions, either with words or symbols and are representing there clubs , in other words clubs can fine/sack players for incidents away from football , simply because they represent the badge/club not just at work but 24/7
