Joey Barton Not playing today

[NW9_RANGER]

From Ian Taylors twitter.

For all those asking, @Joey7Barton is not available for today's game but is hoping to be there. Sing his name loud and proud #QPR

Very, very strange they are saying so on the interview then.. IF this is true. I'll make my decision wheter his playing or not when I see the squad.

[NW9_RANGER]

I reckon they done them interviews on Thursday hence the clothes. For whatever reason though - joey didn't sign until yesterday evening hence why he's now not available.

Why would they make an interview before he had made his decision and signed???

[NW9_RANGER]

Yep seems madness I'd agree. However why would it only be announced yesterday evening that he'd signed when the interview he did was clearly the day before?

All for the benefit of the "Geordie Nation" I reckon.

I believe he signed on Thursday, since they wouldn't do the interview if it wasn't done.

As much as I would love to see him play tomorrow, it would be quite funny if he'd make his debut against the toon!

Well I suppose we'll know in a few hours for sure

Yea, just wrote to him on Twitter and asked. Don't expect an answer but maybe..

[silvercue]

Press association saying debut today?

Is DJ fit ?

[silvercue]

wasn't registered in time. So can't play even if fit.

Knowing Joey, whats the betting he wants to make his debut against Newcastle as that is Joey all over

Maybe that's why he had to think for long enough to take the transfer and registration beyong the lunchtime deadline!
