London Standard - "I won't play with Barton, says Taarabt"

[SpankwiR]

i dont think he said anything to be fair.....but
If he did say something then thats crossing the line. He has spoken out against a fellow ranger. Ill back any rangers player against anything and anyone...but not against the club or another R's player. What he is doing (IF he said anything) is what you and your lot is doing and its out of order. He is a bit of a fairy and loves a whine and a whinge just cant see him having the balls to say anything.

I agree with VBlock! Everyone I work with is ##### but I cant start saying Im not coming to work cos I dont like so and so!

Adel grow up and get on with what your paid very well to do and let QPR management deal with Joey's behaviour. Weve allowed the inmates to run the asylum before and it gets you nowhere.

Can you reply to someone you disagree with without calling them names? It seems almost involuntary And who is "your lot"? Is that "people who disagree with you"? Or is it "fairies"? Or "tarquins" maybe? Tank top wearers? You put me in so many groups it's hard to keep track.

Back on point...

I'll agree it's unlikely he's made any such ultimatum. He's probably expressed displeasure and it's fairly likely that they're not best mates, and this may be untenable going forward.

I find it strange that this is your line of what is unacceptable, yet Joey (even if you disregard the other stuff) lied about a team mate telling him to cheat, to cover his own back, and he's not only safe but should be praised?

adel has every right to go to sparky and express his views he should not be going to the press, if we dont have harmoney then sparky needs to earn his corn and sort it out

Without.. touching on anything else.

Joey Barton isn't exactly a mans man for christ's sake. His excuses for the Man City incident were ,the other boy started it and my mate told me to do it. Straight up, if one of your mates pulled that **** you'd call them a nancy.

Agreed but all footballers are like that! The only one I want next to me going into battle against the infamous Surrey Headhunters is Clint as I reckon he'd hold his hands up!

As far as anyone can see he hasn't gone to the press, people are (once again) putting 2 & 2 together and making 5 .

That's true.

Couldn't imagine Mick Harford going on Twitter and posting philosophy tbh. Please love me, I'm just misunderstood!! :XD:

[Connell10]

defo keep adel and fock our joey right away from rangers!

[QPRDave]

Martin luther King eh?

Insults are getting weaker and weaker.

vblock has been very outspoken and proud of unconditionally supporting Barton, and suggesting that we all should support all QPR players no matter what.

But one mention that Taarabt might have spoken out against Barton, and he should be out the door?

I thought it was a reasonable question to ask.

That were'nt an insult deepcut, i'm shocked you'd take it that way. Hope your not implying that being compared to a black man is an insult, that could be seen as racist you know!










































nah!!!! only joking :pleasantsuprise: you get enough stick on here as it is i am seriously only joking..........if that makes sense
I too have said the same as vblock so yeah you do have point.................................smart a*se

[W12hoops]

Hughes has to decide Bartons future before making any signings- The new players surely wants to know if he will stick around for another three years.

You are sort of contradicting yourself here a little me old fruit. As taken from the article linked to the OP:


Barton hinted at tension with Taarabt following that match by claiming afterwards: “I came here and was told he was a genius but I’m yet to see it. I don’t know whether that is because he doesn’t work hard enough or that he tends to sulk.”Now, that is almost as bad as what Taraabt is reported to have said, if indeed he did.

For the record, I think that Bartons future should be decided by Mark Hughes alone. If he wants rid, then fine. If he wants to keep him, then that's fine too, although I do share your distaste at such an amazing over reaction to what he did that day. It wasn't great admittedly but I am really surprised at the amount of people so morally outraged.

But how can that be?! Vblock is adamant that Barton's actions were "selfless", "courageous", "showed leadership" etc etc and we're all a bunch of nancies for not backing him!

i find myself agreeing with you Brighton......
End of the day its down to Hughes and of course we should all back his decision. Like you say its the over the top Moral outrage that i have a problem with and find it laughable when the tank tops on here express it. But then again i dont have too many morals..............

Loathe the Standard after Patrick Barclay wrote an article hoping we get relegated. Boycot it for that reason. However, this tends to back up other bits that have leaked out. Barton and Adel was never going to be a match made in heaven, they represent everything the other wd hate. Regardless of Adel its clear the club are keen to bomb out Barton. Think it will all come down to whether we can thrash out a compromise with West Ham or whoever whereby we pay some of the wages (maybe all his wages till Nov) but don't think we will be seeing him next season turn out for us.

Send Barton to Bolton then!!
