I hope Joey Barton never plays for us again

[tetters]

Oh p*ss off mate, if you ever wanted to see a player trying for his club theres your example

Yes, good logic, getting yourself sent off really helps...

Just watched it on you tube, couldn't tell what happened at the game. Nothing in initial contact, tees defy playing for it, then he looses his head. Can't condone it but it is hilarious he defo looses it big time.

Also not sure how the linesman could see the initial elbow.

[DeepcutHoop]

Definite red. Haven't seen what Tevez did clearly, but you'd imagine that Barton has reacted to something. It looks like he's claiming it was a punch from Tevez.

The aftermath for those who missed it:

[Mellowhoop]

He helped keep us up......simple

[WE ARE QPR!]

Lets face it, the Premier league/society is too soft. 20-30 years ago that would just have been a talking to by the ref. Seen keegan v bremner in the 70's?

Not sure that film is real, we were drawing when Barton was sent off and that shows the score as 1-2!!!

It is real, that is what Sky broadcasted later in the game.

[MattyRangers]

Barton was bang out of order, I mean what if he left a mark on his pretty little face?

[Radek the Great]

It is real, Sky showed it after we were 2-1 up. Barton did elbow him but that dirty-necked argentinian was all over him and it was a repeat of what happened to joey at Norwich. Unfair teams targetting him because of his temprement but I guess thats how football is

[Chopper]

He should have caught tevez properly.

[NW9_RANGER]

sorry but he's won me over with his performances as of late, yeah he was stupid today but we all know what type of player barton was when we signed him so no point crying you don't want him at the club now.

was funny when he kneed aguero though, just look at his face when he does it haha and he claims he never lost his head. also like others have pointed out, no one would try and sign barton. see you next season joey

[DeepcutHoop]

Just seen the interview with Kompany.

That's a captain. Top bloke.
