Banish them for 3 weeks until we work out how to delete them permanently
-
Did Dave King stick the coupon on for him?
-
😂😂 thanks Joey if this is true you may now get to fuck without a payoff.
-
We have to come out fighting with two wins this week. Get the belief going again because we have the guts of a good team there.
-
He's not trusted that much is clear.
-
Lineup looks good. MOH will be gone soon I suspect
-
He doesn't have the trust of the manager IMO. Form dictates he should have played more often but the gaffer won't hang his hat on MOH delivering when it matters

OK so you've been suspended from work on Tuesday and told to report to the manager the following Monday. The reason you were suspended is you argued with colleague and when the boss took you aside to have a word you continued your conduct but with the boss. He gives you a chance to go home, calm down and clear your head. Come back Monday and we can talk this over. You instead call into a national broadcoaster and question the boss on live radio. How does this end? How anyone can think he's not undermined the manager is beyond me
-
He's full of contradictions because he isn't as smart as he thinks. He's sorry but he's not sorry (twitter). He respects the managers decision but doesn't think it was necessary, has nothing to apologise for and thinks it has been handled strangely. He thinks this stuff should remain in the dressing room but admits he's a hypocrite to say so. He has revealed his level of 'respect' through his actions.
-
This isn't a complicated issue despite your apparent determination to muddy the waters. He's publicly undermined his manager. If he isn't dealt with the manager will lose his authority. It doesn't matter what he said or even of he is right because regardless he should never in a million years be calling up a talk show whilst suspended to question his suspension.

Perhaps but Barton was signed and sealed fairly early on. We must have thought he was too good a player to turn down and he probably helped us convince others to come. A marker in our grander dealings. Hindsight and all that...
-
He was sent home by the manager. 'Handled strangely' is a dig at his manager - on a live radio show. He made other comments that indicated his disregard for his managers decision. That is all anyone really has to understand to then understand that Barton is done under Warburton. If Warburton let's him away he will be showing terrible weakness and lose the respect of players who have been good for him until now
-
I think Warburton thought he was adding steel and experience. A few forceful personalities to carry our young team confidently into difficult venues. Sadly we have slowed our play with players whose legs can't cover the ground our system demands, inhibited our young players who are cowing to Barton (until now) and introduced a loose cannon where calm leadership (ala Davie Weir) was required.
-
Common sense should tell a 34 year old that you don't call up a national radio station to say your situation has been handled strangely, you've nothing to apologise for to the manager when clearly the manager disagrees. He's undermined his boss. In any walk of life that doesn't end well. A pro would take his medicine, shut his trap and come back determined to make amends or at very least to prove everyone wrong.

Barton has shown us a less than professional side to his personality and very little of the abilities that encouraged us to sign him. He's put himself first by questioning the manager, openly questioning his decisions and undermining the manager on live radio. To make matters worse he missed much of preseason training and as a consequence has been unfit to do his job. He's now missing a further weeks training when on the evidence so far he can ill afford to. I'd rule him out of Aberdeen as well because he won't last the pace now...assuming of course he hasnt been demoted to the reserves by that point. I'd gladly see the back of him. Pish poor attitude. Ability doesn't match his ego. He'd need to be Zidane if it did
