Title: Joey Barton Post by: land_of_bo on Tuesday, November 20, 2007, 16:22:12 Quote from: "bbc sport" Richard Varden, prosecuting, said the earliest date a trial could be held was 30 June next year. He added: "I realise it seems a long way away although it's a straightforward allegation, there is an additional factor in that the defendant is a Premiership footballer." So it's delayed because of the football season, let's make 2 assumptions. England Qualify for Euro 2008, Barton makes the squad, when will the trial be then?

Bristol Shiitty didn't have the luxury of holding on to their players (too right!!) while they were locked up why should another team/player be any different just because it's the Premiership we're talking about? |
