I just think that Barton is a thoroughly unpleasant man and anyone needs to check carefully before agreeing with anything that he says. He typifies the worst of the sorry state of "debate" in this increasingly polarised world. By all means disagree with Gary Lineker. And argue with him, put a different point of view, if it comes to it just agree to disagree. But there's none of that for Barton...just straight in with the abuse, and pretty unpleasant personal abuse at that. It's what you'd normally expect to be telling a 6 year old kid in a playground isn't acceptable. Rant over! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Barton is like a kid who has just found out what “I love you” means and is now going round calling everyone in the playground a I love you. What is noticeable is that you don’t see him abusing people who have the tools to give him a good slap the next time they bump into him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I did go for a quick glance over on their forum the other day, and they've been debating their youth development. A few of them have some bright ideas, such as looking at players who've been released from other clubs and seeing if they could possibly do a job for them, either now or over the next couple of seasons, but then there was a comment that might - or might not - have any weight to it. One of them pointed out that as they don't have a under 23s side and they don't have the sort of budget to 'collect' players, the "£150 or £250 a week" they'd get paid could be better used elsewhere. Now, assuming - for the sake of argument - this individual was talking about players with an apprentice status, they'd be paying them the basic apprentice wage of £6.90 an hour for either a 20 or 40 hour week. If they were on 'Pro' contracts, they'd be guilty (AGAIN) of failing to pay minimum wage.

Back in the mid 1970s, I was one of a small group of five at The City Ground, when a (very) large group of Forest fans started singing the same thing to us. Having witnessed the full and fast flowing River Trent en route to the ground, I am sure I was searching frantically in my coat pockets for a set of water wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
