Barton: sack or back?

[vblockranger]

i see we just had a dearth of "sack" votes come in at once...well its about 10.30 so i spose all the students and house husbands just got up

Think the most startling fact to emerge from this thread is that vblock is a primary school teacher (presumably a part time one judging by the amount of time he spends on here ). And people say education in this country has gone down the toilet?

Sacking him would cost money, no way!

Like him or not he's a very good player

I take comfort mate from the fact that anything anybody tries to teach my son goes straight over his head. There are good primary school teachers in Broadmoor, driven there by my son...

lol actually im a dry cleaner i just wanted a bit of respect

[maverick69]

Sack him...... just like what would happen to him in any other walk of life for bringing his organisation and his practice into disrepute for the unpteenth time this year... and for the God knows how many times during his career.

Yes he may be a good footballer - but even then he's fickle....... and there are more than enough players out there who can do as good as job as him, and who are within our budget range.

Thanks Joey.... but **** off..... please.

If we back him, we should try to get a draw in our carling cup match to get a replay and reduce his league suspension to 10 games

yousef mate, the great ancient mystical continent of Arabia has brought the world many intellectual and innovative wonders such as chemistry, pottery, civil engineering but yours is by far the greatest.

spose you lot in Estonia still wash your clothes in rivers?

[QPRBENN]

Back him 100%

[Kirill]

Naturally. This is one of the tourist attractions: come and see Estonians washing their clothes in rivers. We charge tourists for that. The downside is that our raccoon population is nearing extinction.

sack, do we want to keep having bad press

It's comments like this that create this myth. Until this incident what "bad press" has he created for QPR.....? He was wrongly and ridiculously sent off against Norwich, and done nothing else. There was no consistent bad press.

This should be treated as an isolated incident, in which he lost it and was stupid and naive, however, it was imo still nothing compared to any career threatening challenge you see every week.... Nobody was even hurt by what he did. The bark was far worse than the bite, but unfortunately everyone is getting carried away.

Also they all drag up incidents that must have been 5 years or more ago and say things like he never changes, always doing stuff etc... well i've not seen it myself bar this one incident where he felt hard done by and reacted, after being punched, so i would suggest he has changed a lot over those years.

He should be backed.

Also to try and put some perspective on this.... Ballotelli must have had more incidents this season alone than Barton's had over the last 5 years, including a shocking tackle recently where he could've broken Song's leg, yet went unpunished for it, even after review, in a game he was sent off in and arguably could've been sent off 3 times, whilst ending a career..... Yet his ban was nothing compared to "repeat offender" Barton. Laughable!
