PS: Make that Joey Barton (1506 Viewing) over on FF

What is the relevance of these posts? Am I missing something?

He'd look a bit of a knob tweeting how does it feel to be without a home, like a rolling stone, #WATP' and then saying 'I'm staying where I am'.

Meanwhile, over at FF, figures say ... Joey Barton (1109 Viewing)

... and some more or less in-the-know chaps now saying that he is staying with Burnley.

So lots of guessing going on then.

Looks like Burnley trying to get him to do a last minute turnaround.

I'm warming to the guy. Previously just thought he was an overpaid arse, but quoting Dylan is a good sign!

Joey - 'Dont Think Twice - It's Alright', It's a 'Simple Twist of Fate' at this twilight of your career, that will bring you north, so 'Like a Rolling Stone' you will go on to pastures new, and hopefully you will end up 'Tangled Up in Blue'

Back on a football front. I watched Zelalem very closely. He was very tidy at times, but he slowed our whole game down. On the odd occasion when we had a wide runner in space, he feigned to play the pass wide, then checked inside and played a non-effective ball inside. While it looked clever it got us nowhere and left the wide runner having to get back again after a wasted run. He's clever but not intelligent, and that's what separates the good from the very good. He doesn't fit - full stop for me.

Cup should be taken off them.

Don't be silly.

I don't know the details, but our fans shouldn't be trotting onto the pitch to 'square-up' to Hibs fans -- even if they are taunting and goading us.

I totally respect your views mate, but everyone has different DNA and I don't think you are in a position to define 'should or shouldn't' in those conditions, and your use of the word 'trotting' tells me something about your view on the people who did stand their ground. I can say hand on heart, even at 55, if those bastards were running up to within feet of me and goading me, I would not have turned the other cheek. I might have 'trotted' towards them rather than 'manfully striding away'.

That was not good enough. Hibernian deserved their victory.

Tavernier was particularly poor defensively but did make a decent contribution in attack. I've thought for a while that Warburton must be looking for an alternative at right back.

Totally agree. MW didn't want our season to end with a whimper. We didn't even manage a whimper since beating Celtic. I've never seen a team so powder puff at cross balls, so . Tav's attempt with Stokes header was an indication why he's not highly sought after - his defensive game is woeful. What annoys me most about today was the lack of desire. We've become kind of 'Billy Big Bollocks' since beating that lot, and worryingly our management team have not been able to knock it out of them.

Jellybeans of FF fame, says on Twitter '' Tomorrow will be a GOOD day.''

Cryptic clues everywhere today!!

A Brendan Rodgers fan then?

It will be interesting to see if their theory is correct that Neil Lennon was "constantly attacked and victimised" because he was an Irish Catholic will carry over into Brendan Rodgers. Or will it prove our theory that it was because he was an antagonising little bigoted ned who courted trouble. I wonder.

Like the idea but I think i would wait to see if their defence looks 'terrified' first.

Like to give us a clue to what the proposed song is first?

Hell, I'm too young for this shit, come to that - and I'm nearly 60.

100% with you on that one mate

How soon till rangers retail have to show their accounts?

My kid wants a top and doesnt understand why i wont buy him one!

Kids are too young for this shit. I still look back and treasure my first strips. Buy the kid what you feel like mate. The world wont stop turning if you do.

You have got your panties in a twist.

Something a bit creepy in your choice of language mate

Yes jellybeans did indeed break the story.

 

Not sure what you're problem is but JB was the first person to post about Barton perhaps moving to us. A few others (myself included) had heard this also but I certainly wasn't confident enough to post about it.

 

Now, of course these people don't get everything right every single time but they can be worth listening to now and again - if only to get us talking which is the point of forums. If you don't like that fine, but it's quite easy to stay out of such threads.

If you guys reckon that forum is a suitably adequate vehicle from which to 'break a story' then fire away. I don't go anywhere near it and neither does anybody I know so he didn't 'break it' for any of us.

Oh dear me Joey - all that money and you are wearing the same clothes you had on Saturday!

But one broke the story

No they didn't

I've heard on very good authority that Joey is in George Square tonight with his own band playing 'Marching Home Through Georgia' as a dedication to his wife Georgia. He is telling everyone that his reason for coming to Glasgow is that his final move will be to honour his wife for her support through his troubled times, and he heard that one side of the city does a mean rendition.

Any chance this thread could get back on track with the title. There is no evidence that Joey Barton is anywhere near Glasgow, but it's turned into a conversation about two blokes that I don't give two hoots about with all due respect.

He broke the story 2 weeks ago mate.

Who 'broke the story'? Are we still talking here about some bloke off another forum???? Can we keep this in perspective? Guys on that forum (or any other) don't 'break stories'.

TV news report he's gone home and will give us an answer by the end of the week.

Yes, that was yesterday he went home to give us an answer by the end of the week. Not today. Seems though that a couple of blokes on another forum are getting the same amount of coverage which I find quite sad.

And all the while..........................is Joey Barton in Glasgow again? I doubt it.

Some suggestions on FF from cwoodloyal that Barton will indeed be in Scotland again tonight and tomorrow.

I could be wrong (again) , but FF have also been seriously wrong in the past with 'insider info' e.g. the last big tax case result which we had "won hands down".
