Barton sent home

Joey Barton’s Rangers career could be over after the player was sent home from training on Tuesday until further notice.

I understand Barton was involved in a training ground bust up, which prompted the club to send him home immediately.

The 35 year old’s future will be discussed over the next twenty four hours and leaves manager Mark Warburton with a big decision to make on one of the highest paid players at the club.

The incident comes hot on the heels of a 5-1 thrashing by Celtic in which the Gers midfielder claimed ahead of the match that Scott Brown was “not in his league”.

Barton’s performance failed to reach pass marks as Celtic dominated the middle of the park. The result prompted Celtic captain Scott Brown to state it was “Men against Boys” and that his tussle with Barton was “easy”.

Rangers football club has made no comment on the story.

Scott Brown doubtful for the weekend game after laughter convulsions

Joey Barton played for Rangers?

Maybe one or more of his teammates commented on this poster seen throught Glasgow after Saturday's game

Sounds very out of character!

The world's biggest cunt

A long post football career on TS beckons

For a reasonably lucid bloke on media outlets, he doesn't half cunt himself over in public.

Silly little prick

Pity Durham is off today to discuss this much maligned friend of the station

Joey Barton has confirmed to talkSPORT he has been banned from Rangers’ training ground, but has called his expulsion ‘strange’ and insisted he ‘has done nothing to apologise for’.

Reports surfaced on Thursday night that Barton had been ordered to stay away from Murray Park by manager Mark Warburton following a training ground row with team-mate Andy Halliday.

The fall out came on the back of the Gers’ humiliating 5-1 defeat to bitter rivals Celtic on Saturday.

Barton has been involved in numerous unsavoury incidents throughout his career but he insists this latest one has been blown out of proportion by the Scottish side.

Speaking EXCLUSIVELY to Jim White on talkSPORT the outspoken midfielder, who joined Rangers on a free transfer in the summer, said: “They’ve told me to stay away but there are a lot of misconceptions out there at the moment.

Never in the wrong. Always coughs up an excuse for his repeated aggressive behaviour.

Criminal minded.

Bob Mills - 'At least Barton has never nicked a living'.

And that's relevant how, exactly?

Every 3 months Barton gets into shit and comes on and listening to him, you'd think he was the world's best person.

People who keep coming out with the line, 'All I wanted....' are in my view, often poor communicators and not such nice guys as they are at pains to point out.

Barton is a narcissist who doesn't really seem to learn to change his ways. KP comes to mind.

If we didn't hear about him for a year, then maybe he might have got somewhere.

He also always plays everything down.

Being sent home not to return for the best part of a week is not a good thing, Joey and suggests that the issue may not have been overstated or overblown as you are inferring.

If anything, your perception of it has probably been toned down in your own mind to make you believe that you aren't the disruptive force that everyone else probably sees you as.

I suggest Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' with the caveat that you do have to show a genuine interest in other people in order to experience the benefits of Carnegie's tips, something you may find hard.

However, thanks for coming on to TS for an exclusive interview - Jim White of Talksport is very happy.

So with with his autobiography 'Mo Nomsense' being published next Thursday (22 Sept) this isn't just another PR stunt aimed
at maximizing sales?

He probably went in being Billy Big Bollocks to his team mates. They all probably hated him.

Has had previous with Rangers after Ross County defeat earlier in the season where he tried to take over the dressing room.
This is chapter 2

Thick, cretinous bastard. He's been asked to "re-evaluate the way I'm thinking" and seems a little bemused. He went onto say ""Maybe I don't communicate like somebody who has been educated at Eton, but that's not me, I'm from Liverpool. I communicate how I communicate and I want to win football matches."

He's won one England cap.

You can see the respect in his comments.

I'll have a chat with Warbs on Monday and see how the land lies.

Looks like he trying to work his ticket back south

Has he stubbed out any ciggies on a team mate lately?

As though he's dealing with the Oxford Union in the dressing room!

"I'm from Liverpool"

Are you??!!

YES

Fair play to you for coming clean.

Anyone listen to Joey B-ekin's interview on TS on Friday? Have to say I missed it but it looks like he's further inflamed his relationship with Rangers and Warburton's taking legal advice to terminate his contract. Why anyone would take this unemployable, vacuous, loud mouthed, repugnant oaf is beyond me, on second thoughts, perhaps Joey could be a made man as Pishtank's replacement. His politics are a polar opposite but he doesn't half talk fucking shit all the time.
