Joey sent home

[Ready91 57]

Good statement followed by stupid tweet.

[WGOH 2,344]

Fair doos to him. Not many players would have the balls to come out and say that right away. He needs to back up these words and up his game. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise and got the fire in the belly. Win your place back Joey.

Sounds like things got a bit heated. Joey has apologised and wants to move on. At least he is passionate and admits he hasn't met the required standards yet.

Yup.   Bit like the games this season so far......too slow off the mark and allowing others to gain the initiative!

At least we now have Barton's view.  Wonder if MW will care to confirm the Barton version of events.

What do you mean 'his version of events'? He had spoken about his part in something, what other version is there going to be?

[BEE 4,880]

Thought the statement was disrespectful in parts.

Final tweet wasn't needed.

Hope Halliday punched his cunt in

Yes that would be a professional and intelligent reaction.

Basically sorry for the way I said what I said but I still mean it and I'm still right!!

Let's hope you never get called up on jury service. 

"Heard the defendant drowns puppies, throws acid in wains faces and poisons the water system. Not sure if true, but looks like a shoplifter. Hang the cunt!!!"

He is a complete pratt.........btw aleady been on jury service  and yeah the people looked guilty before the trial started !!!

 

May not be anything major in why he has been sent home but he is trouble, was in the past and still is just now. How he handles himself on social media is questionable and reflects poorly on the club but hey if you think differently then hey ho.

[evenstevens 890]

Been drafting that for hours, his phone needs charged. 

 

Still hope he leaves. Nowt against him, just don't need him and we look very slow with him in the team.

I expect to see Daily Record and BBC versions

[Guest Lloyd72]

This has turned out better than I expected, that statement, if you take it positively makes Barton sound like a guy passionate about our club wanting to improve and admitting he needs to improve. Also makes Warburton look like a strong manager for taking charge of the situation and sending him home.

[Jelavic191 4,397]

After some of the utter shitebag performances of some of the players during recent years its good to see that there are clearly people who care about the team and striving for better.

If it was a verbal disagreement I think Warburton could have dealt with this better without playing into the media's hands.

Some times decisions need to be made because they are the right ones or only ones, no matter what the media fallout is likely to be. 

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,677]

Decent statement.

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

If true, well done Joey. You are the bigger man, whilst others didn't have the spine. Not been much of that around Ibrox for a long time and that includes our manager, who is now starting to look like the headmaster, with an ego bigger than the defeat to the scum.

[Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312]

OK,  I'll put my oar in because I have a source (very reliable) - I didn't want to put it in earlier because loads of theories and abuse were flying about. 

OK,  tin hat on - 

Team had a video analysis meeting on Monday then Tuesday as well re last Saturday. Monday got heated but stayed controlled with Barton being very vocal. It was decided to allow 24hrs of reflection and further analysis on tuesday. This time Barton really went to town and ripped into almost everyone, especially Lee Wallace. Halliday butted in by saying we beat they bastards 5 months ago when you weren't here and they squared up with Barton throwing a couple of punches 

There fuck it, I've said it 

Comments or criticise all you want. 

[DESGER 241]

It's not a stretch to think he will be gone in January!!

[KingKirk 25,602]

Warburton has a team principle he appears unwilling to let men be men and sort it how they wished.

remember back in the day Lafferty and weir almost came to blows at HT up in sheep land came out for the 2nd half and blew the sheep away that was that nothing else said about it.

[Bears r us 30,770]

If that tweet is real, then I am happy that he has put that out so that we have some idea what is going on.  

[The Ibrox Derry 8,887]

Fair enough Joey. draw a line and move on.

The last thing we need is to be divided at this wonderful institution that is Rangers FC.

[graeme_4 34,350]

Good statement from Barton.

Hopefully put it to bed, and get on with improving our performances.

Fair doos to him. Not many players would have the balls to come out and say that right away. He needs to back up these words and up his game. Hopefully everything is sorted, although I think the situation has been blown up a little due to reputations. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise and got the fire in the belly. Win your place back Joey.
