Doing what he does best, prick.

Pedersen has one the most slappable/punchable faces in top flight football though.

Joey Barton & John Terry. 2 players who spring to mind as players I wouldn't want to play for the club even if we could sign em... why? Because they are both cunts!

Good on him.

I'd be more embarrassed if i was Pederson, wasn't exactly a boxers punch was it and he goes down like a sack of shit and then when he realises no one saw anything he's straight back up.

it was only a nipple gripple too. pederson should be embarrassed.

nice one Joey

Pederson does go down far too easily, whether from challenges, non-existent challenges or, apparently, punches. But that's not really the point. You can't do that and Barton's been really stupid once again.

Let us not forget that Pedersen was once hacked to the ground by nothing at all (against Arsenal)!

It's easy to take things out of context though, it could be that Pederson had been intentionally winding Barton up all game as unsurprisingly thats what has been happening a lot this season. It's just a storm in a tea cup and if it didn't involve Joey Barton no one would even care.

Pedersen did go down too easily but i just dont get Barton at times. He is a really good player, but often does stupid things like this, it just ruins his reputation.

Joey Barton is quality, wish we had someone with his passion in our team!

Shame he didnt knock the cunts head off

Barton is to be charged.

Looks like Nolan may need to install bunk beds.

And so he should be! The lad is a good player but he's seriously thick! What the fuck was going through his head? He must of saw the 'red mist'. Worst thing is, how the hell did he think he was going to get away with it? The amount of cameras at games now!

Welcome back, youve not posted for ages have you?

This is easily the best thing Barton's ever done.

Who wouldnt want to give Pederson a sly slap? What a prick!

He deserves the one inch punch for this alone...

Barton is a prize cunt......Pederson only didn't even touch him..............fukin bully and i would love to put a red hot poker in his eye.

Chaps.....dont get bullying mixed up with passion,its not the same thing,punching someone in the chest aint passion....then pretending like the little chimp he is that he only slapped him..hope he gets a long ban.

Barton is a cunt, I hope he gets a 5 match ban for that.

If Pedersen is a pussy for going down easily, Barton is an even bigger one for that reaction to a slight nudge on the shoulder.

He hit him with a closed fist in his sternum.

I like him.

It looks like he's got a 3 match ban. There's no doubt that he was a complete and utter loony cunt who was completely out of control. He's made a good effort to turn it around. I should think he will be very dissappointed with himself. This was a fairly minor matter and wouldn't have warranted a mention if it wasn't for the fact it was Barton. Lets hope he keeps going forward than reverting to what he was, he's still made pretty good strides forwards.

things like this being reviewed make sense (although my exact words were "pedersen has one of those faces" in an eerie rich pullen moment), but huddlestone's stamp on elmander not ending up with him having some lovely down time on saturdays confuse me and i think in a week of weird sendings off or should have beens the FA are not helping themselves

Barton is a cunt and so is Andy Carroll FACT!

Can't watch the video now.. Comes up as copywrited (censored) by the premier league

*copyright of. It's not an ad and nor is the word a verb (I think)

It's a bit early in the morning for that kind of behaviour Paul!

Yeah, you're write :)

*your

um no. you're (you are) wrong but Paul, you're *right

Massive whooshes all round.

 :)

Magic - I know it's "you're" but Paul wrote "write" instead of right, so I thought he might as well have used "your" as well to complete the illiteracy.

Where is the whooooooosh smiley?

*wush

Surely the fact that he is now Training with Fleetwood just means he is out of the QPR door.

Certain tabloids are playing the "possible loan move" card. No chance.

Barton's quality, would love to see him at the CG one day.

Wouldn't rule it out at all. A loan at fleetwood would see his 12 match loan finished alot quicker

heard this mentioned as well. Could QPR loan him to fleetwood whilst still paying his wages in full then as soon as he is finished his ban take him back without him actually playing for them?

If he was sold that would be the case so wouldn't rule out it not being possible on a loan deal.

Interesting slant. Hadn't thought of that.

very good point - because if the "knobhead" did in fact play, he would probably get another ban

I thought he was being offload to a Championship club, can't remember who it was but someone was interested.

Here is his take on it http://www.joeybarton.com/training-with-fleetwood/

shef wed said they would take him. interesting that the fa would have to approve any loan and the transfer of his ban. considering the bbc headline 'QPR consider Joey Barton loan to speed up 12-match ban' i think the fa would oppose it outright.

They may do, but if you loan somebody out does it have to be for a minimum period. i.e 6 months like the Cox transfer?

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7996833/Barton-set-for-Marseille-loan

Should rack up the red cards in one of those no tackling leagues.

I think most people thought QPR would recall him after the twelve games so the FA said they would only sanction any deal (not just Fleetwood) if he stayed for a minimum of 6 months. Guess it all seemed a bit pointless then.

See Ryan Nelson has been given his short number. Never a good sign.

I've always found Barton an interesting player.  Clearly talented, though possibly less than he thinks.  Complete thug - possibly.  Damaged by his upbringing - almost definitely.  Reformed character a number of times, then it comes out again.  He almost seems like a personification of the completely fictitious working class yob that so upsets the Daily Mail (although he isn't black, and isn't an immigrant, so the personification isn't perfect) - in reality he is an under-educated bloke with a temper. 

Wow - that post was almost impressively pointless.  I suppose I was actually trying to say that we as fans ultimately know nothing about him.  There is something about books and covers but I've rambled enough and its bedtime.

Total thug who doesn't give a damn who he hurts gets sent to the South of France on full pay for a season.

That is one hell of a punishment!  I bet he is soooo sorry!

I know for a fact that if any of us attacked another person whilst at work we wouldn't be sent out on full pay to Marseille.

The bastard gets away with it again!!

Let's be honest though, what he got punished for was pure handbags yet people ate trying to make it sound like it was attempted murder! Good grief.

100% agree, I didn't see the match live as I was on holiday, heard about the incident and thought great a 21st century Eric Cantona moment, this should be good to catch up on. And when I saw the incident was exactly how you describe it, complete handbags, stirred up by the media, and swallowed by the Sky Sports generation.

I hope Joey goes to France think it'll be the making of him.

I love Barton. That is all.

Good move for him, gets him out of the limelight a bit.

Similar move worked out well for Joe Cole

Does his ban apply in France or purely England?

Think it depends whether the FA apply to UEFA to uphold it or not.

If it means he fucks off permanently from English football then lift the ban and let the fucker loose on France. No doubt that will legitimise the cheese eating surrender monkeys into unleashing Sangatte 2 on us.

I'm undecided. On the one hand he is an obnoxious little twat who should have been kicked out of the game a long time ago. On the other, it makes great TV - him kicking off on the last day of the season made great viewing.

Handbags, nice to see to someone work a few fucks into the girly twats that play in the PL. Not like he decked em with a single punch is it. However he has done far worse(cigar incident) so is still a cunt

His actions overshadow the fact that the bloke is a decent footballer, if he wasn't so controversial I think he would have had a lot more England caps.
What he done against Man City was never worth a 12 game ban, how he can get a longer ban than Suarez after he has been proven to have said racist remarks is crazy.
The Premier League needs people like Barton before it becomes to boring.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :clap:
Barton...when he does'nt undestand the local dialect and gets frustrated.
