Joey Barton

Wait. This is news to me.

Joey Barton needs crowdfunding to get a lawyer because he clearly said something absolutely stupid, insulting and unnecessary?

The same Joey Barton who played premiership football for years and presumably is a multi millionaire?
That Joey Barton needs people to fund getting legal advice?

And - with all the poverty, hunger, preventable diseases and injustice in the world, and all the genuinely good causes that desperately need money, some people are actually giving him money?

"Uniting Behind Joey Barton against Jeremy Vine

In the ever-expanding arena of social media, where reputations are made and shattered in the blink of an eye, one man finds himself in the eye of the storm: Joey Barton, the former footballer whose journey has taken a dramatic turn. Caught in a whirlwind of defamation allegations stemming from allegedly derogatory tweets, Barton stands at the forefront of a battle for justice and fairness against none other than Jeremy Vine, a prominent figure in the media landscape.

Known for his skill and tenacity on the football pitch, Barton's latest challenge transcends the boundaries of sport. It's a clash of principles, a fight against baseless accusations that threaten to tarnish not just his reputation, but the very fabric of integrity in our digital age.

The recent debacle, sparked by Jeremy Vine's televised remarks insinuating Barton's alleged 'brain injury', serves as a stark reminder of the power wielded by media personalities and the responsibility that comes with it. Yet, amidst the storm of controversy, Barton stands firm, determined to seek justice and restore his honor.

Why Stand by Joey Barton?

Beyond the headlines and past controversies lies a fundamental truth: the importance of standing up against defamation and injustice. Regardless of personal opinions, Barton's quest for vindication resonates with the core values of fairness and accountability. Every individual, regardless of stature or past transgressions, deserves the right to defend their name and seek restitution for unwarranted attacks, especially when broadcast on a national platform.

In solidarity with Barton's cause, we've launched a GoFundMe campaign to provide crucial support in his legal battle against Jeremy Vine. Every contribution, no matter how small, serves as a beacon of hope in the pursuit of truth. Notably, any damages awarded will be graciously donated to Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, exemplifying Barton's commitment to giving back amidst adversity.

Additionally, spreading awareness about this campaign amplifies our collective voice and strengthens Barton's resolve in the face of adversity. Through social media, word of mouth, and grassroots efforts, we can galvanize widespread support for Barton's quest for justice.

Joey Barton's fight against defamation transcends the confines of individuality; it's a testament to the enduring values of integrity, fairness, and accountability. By rallying behind Barton, we send a resounding message that baseless attacks from media figures will not go unchallenged.

Let us stand shoulder to shoulder with Joey Barton in his journey towards vindication, ensuring that the voices of truth and decency prevail in the face of slander and defamation. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the pursuit of justice. Join us in championing the cause of truth today."

What an incredible coincidence that the organiser of this campaign is also called Joey Barton.

He’d eat them.

Or try and stab a youth team player in the eye with them.

Barton got such a pass for years for being a different character - the Guardian of all places sainted him for a bit as a misunderstood, punk rock intellectual - but I tell you what, his true colours are really shining through now.
 
Certainly the so called requirements for a female commentator versus a male commentator seem to be different from the standpoint of the total skills package. Maybe I’m just used to old school commentators (mostly male) but even the new generation of male commentators are articulate, funny and mostly of you can hear them clearly from an accent standpoint.

Ok there’s some like Andy Townsend who have a noticeable accent but Townsend is very articulate and he understands player attributes and can offer a technical opinion which makes sense.

So far most of the women commentators that I’ve heard lack these type of qualities. It’s almost like they’re just given the mic and tell them to get on with it.

The one female commentator I have liked from the US is Julie Foudy who was really articulate and definitely could hold her own against any male commentator. In the end it’s all about what you get used to and perhaps the one who can keep you interested.

However some of the things Barton said were really wrong and disrespectful, but then again the truth sometimes hurts.
