Joey Barton on Twitter.... talking about John Terry

[bushcelt1]

I'm no lawyer so i have no idea how the authorities will view Barton claiming Terry is guilty however if Terry is now found not guilty wouldn't that mean that JB could then be in trouble ?

I just wish he would just keep his mouth shut and concentrate on staying focused for tomorrows must win game but he cant help himself, he loves the attention that being controversial gets him...

agree with you on this.

John Terry's lawyers will be all over this and i wouldnt be surprised if the case gets thrown out.
Barton is involved because the pitch was the equivalent to a workplace and he was in the room where the incident took place.
So he has contravened subjudice laws.
Massive own goal if Terry gets off after being bang to rights.
Collymore warned Barton but might be too late now once the papers get onto it.
Joey is speaking the truth but the law is an ass.
Could be dodgy!

Joey Barton's crimes are far worse than John Terry's. Yup string me up for saying that on here, but the bloke is a vile human and to then spout off about everyone else is ridiculous.

People let their club loyalties blur truth.

On top of that, he and half the radio pundits, don't seem to understand that this is a CPS issue, not an FA issue at the moment, so "owning up" or the FA charging him early are not even relevant.

I would say that he was a vile person, but has since gone to great lengths to recognise his many faults and ins doing what he can to rectify them. He's even come out and told of his AA meetings. At least he's trying. With regards to this, think he's going to find himself in a bit of bother legally.

he's no angels, he made a few mistake but been punish for it.

This is the last thing Mark Hughes need is having to face the journalists at the next press conference talking about joey instead of football, he already has to put up with journalists asking him about his though on Joey having ago at Neil warnock

look like Mark gonna have to face some more Qs

Maybe he wants the court case thrown out (for prejudicing the case not because Terry is innocent) and then the FA can investigate and that would be an end to the matter. That would probably be better for everybody including the people who are appearing for the prosecution.

I understand that if he is found guilty he could be fined as much as 2,500 pounds sterling. That is not exactly going to harm Terry. The solicitors will of course make a lot of money from it and I assume that the prosecution lawyer will be paid for by the tax payer.

[Gilligan]

It won't affect the case but it looks like borderline contempt and if the attorney general sees fit it could land Joey in court and possibly even in jail. But contempt cases are rare althought there have been a few lately.

The more likely thing is the FA punish him. The papers will have to be careful how much they reprint.

[Ric-Roc]

I wish he'd just shut the f*ck up. Permanently.

He's a bit of a pr!ck tbh.

OK, Joey starts off echoing my feelings on this which I posted at the time.

I'm not (yet) convinced John Terry is an inherant racist.
I do think he is guilty of using racist terminology in the heat of the moment on a football pitch when all was going against his team.
And gross stupidity.
In his position, with his defence, if innocent, I would have said "Anton, I did not call you that or say those words". I would not have repeated them like he clearly did.

I won't condone him, and rightly IMO he has lost the England captaincy.

Back to Joey - He's right also that it should have been dealt with in March, the offered court date, but Chelsea have refused that.
And he's right that Anton, through no fault of his own, is suffering the most.

However, I won't forget, 'our' Joey was the only person on our 'team' to shake Terry's hand - 3 times - last Saturday.
That concerns me as much as his incessant ****tering.

Okay, if I'm at work and a similar incent took place but I did not see nor hear it does that make me a witness? No. If I then swa and heard it via cctv does that make me a witness? No. So if JB did not see nor hear it then he is not a witness and is only voicing his opinion from the tv recording and maybe what AF told him. How can he be in trouble for that? Again, I am not a lawyer and it is just my opinion.

that seems quite a logic way of putting it tbf.

WHO actually reported the original incident to the police?

One of the nannies ?

Horses for courses and if you don't like him, why open threads relating to him ?

Get a life, WARRB is not the influential, although I admit some of the nannies think they are something special.
