trublusince1982 243 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Sorry if this has already been covered but is Barton not employed by talk sport? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 be amazed if he comes back from this. It'd be one thing if he'd been sent to train with the kids but told to stay away completely sounds like the end. Assumed he'd be back at work today but three weeks is surely gardening leave while the terms of Bexit (or Jexit?) are negotiated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Might be that these three weeks are there for Barton to show that he can keep his mouth shut on certain topics. If he does, I would assume he'll wear the jersey again. Otherwise, they might have fined him a number of week's wages and that would be that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Best for everyone concerned is that we draw a discrete veil over this whole debacle and move on. Whether we move on with Mr Barton is another thing, I think it's up to him now, take his punishment, shut up and come back. Or keep bumping his gums and engineers a pay off? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Might had been shorter, IMHO, had he not talked to Talksport a day after the ban. We shall see. What is important right now is that we keep on performing like Saturday, no matter how the media will spin this. And without derailing this thread ... our admin over on the German board correctly remarked on this and the "Warburton not up for it" bedlam in the media: Rodgers managed to hit an all time Celtic low in Gibraltar, sneaked through against the Israelis and has been humbled by Barca. Not a comment here about his credentials. For bar Sunday, his side strolled through the Premiership thus far ... which is at worst to be expected, given his resources and the opposition. I take it that the media will dwell on this story for the next couple of days, keeping the minds of the readership away from more impending doom for the Hooped Horrors. I'm really at odds as to what relevance Celtic and Brandan Rodger's have to do with a statement from Rangers about a Rangers player. You have a constant need to be comparing us to them. It's unhealthy IMO 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,675 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Three weeks is almost an exile. I would have preferred he at least be training but the fact they wont even let him mingle with the squad is foreboding. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 would imagine the squad had a say in this also. Believe they were in yesterday wouldn't be amazed if they came in to discuss their feelings moving forward once the game was out the way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm really at odds as to what relevance Celtic and Brandan Rodger's have to do with a statement from Rangers about a Rangers player. You have a constant need to be comparing us to them. It's unhealthy IMO First - and totally unrelated - you have a nice following here. Second, my health is fine, thanks. I love my club and have only contempt for them, but don't live any "hatred". If you and others don't want to think about them and the coverage they get, no problem. And no need to let me know this, as I know that. Third, I will draw comparisons on the media coverage we and the Yahoos get, as it is imbalanced and partial. We see that the constant negativity being heaped upon us - starting from a bad defence, over Kranjcar being to slow, to Barton being essentially branded a maniac - is taking root with some and lead to rather bizarre opinions and debates. So pointing out what the media might intent here may wisen some folk up a little. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slagged off a slightly backward lad in Brown, who then made a complete fool out of him in their first meet on the pitch, there's no way back from that tbh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
