Barton remanded on assault charge
 

About time this thug met his come-uppance. I wonder if Newcastle will terminate his contract, it's all he deserves.
Enjoy your new-year's helping of porridge Joey.

I doubt he will have his contract terminated unless he gets a lengthy sentence. Even if he does he will be signed up again by a top club when he comes out.

You only have to look at Lee Hughes at Oldham to see that football chairman have no issues reagrding things like this.

He should have got a decent sentence last time, maybe he wouldn't have done this, the law is an ass, and but for that, fame and fortune, he would have been dealt with appropriately first time round.

He's had more than one 'first time around'. He also has family pedigree for it.

Re: Barton remanded on assault charge
 

Yes, sorry Dave, that was my point, if people like this are dealt with properly first time round, there may not be a second, third etc.

I'm guessing 90% of the British public think like that, the other 10% are the criminals and the law experts ( or trainee law experts :) )
