Joey sent home

[The Ibrox Derry 8,886]

The guy was never a player, bad mistake, which 100% blame Warburton / McParland for.

He came here thinking it would be a stroll in the park. Talking a power of shite before a ball was even kicked and has been shown up by shitey Scottish players. 

The fact HE has been sent home tells you everything you need to know. MW knows what he is like and knows how he will react to this and sent him home anyway. 

He hasn't kicked a ball for us and has took the hump because he is being called out on it. This is Rangers FFS

The guy is cunt, throughout his whole career he has been the same. 

Get him to fuck IMO 

Mark Warburton also signed him knowing full well what he was like with being outspoken etc 

I'm not interested in defending Barton's performances but I think some are going on like he's at the heart of our problems this season when in reality nobody has had a good season so far. If he's going to still be in the picture then he needs to step it up and make a contribution, obviously he might be finished already but that'll be up to the club 

[Siam69 26,843]

If this is to do with the shite performances then happy fucking days IMO, about time a bit of passion was shown. 

Hopefully people will now feel they have something to prove, and start to play a bit and show the passion.

Have any of the other outlets reporting this story actually elaborated on it yet? Raman and Keith Jackson said there's more to follow over an hour ago and still nothing.

Starting to think there might actually be nothing in it after all.

To be fair, tims are the best source when it comes to Rangers News. Obsessed and all that poppycock  

Robbo, you are not @Sket!

Also, a few people have mentioned finger-pointing and players being pulled apart in the dressing room at full-time on Saturday; fucking good.

Conceding five goals is a fucking crime, especially in a game that means so much. Read any footballers' autobiography and they talk of scraps in every changing room when things aren't going well.

I hope Halliday was pointing fingers. I'll be the first to admit that he's not the world's best footballer, but he should have started on Saturday. We needed another semi-final performance from the midfield, but he was patched two older, slower players which cost us. I'd have been raging.

If there was nothing in it the club would have rubbish end it by now, or joey himself would have put something up on Twitter IMO

Way too many players that I'm not trusting this season but Barton can still turn it around 

A certain few cant 

Yep he certainly has the qualities.

Think we all need to calm down a bit although a understand folks frustrations.

[B1872 20,648]

Could save £20k a week for a couple of signing in January. ??

[Vwbear 399]

Fuck sake trouble making media hit out with something negative about 1 of our players and a lot of our fans start hounding him without knowing the facts 

[Virtuoso 27,180]

Good.

Hopefully, not to return.

[therightway 65]

Did he take um-bridge after somebody pointed out how shite he has been playing?

He's one of a few problems in the team and to be fair he was by no means the worst on Saturday. He does need to step up and do his talking on the park rather than online

Knowing our luck if he was leaving he would want his contract paid up in full

that ain't going to happen on here

[Loyal Bear 72 363]

I'm going to be honest here. Barton has been far from been the worst player in our side this season. He's not been great but folk saying he's shite and so on is over the top. You don't go from being the best player in the championship to being not good enough for Scottish football in a 2 month period. The whole team has not been good enough. If it doesn't work out for him at us it will not be because of his ability. It might be because of his attitude or it might be because of this incident but I wouldn't question his ability. In my opinion, I think he feels let down by other players and I wouldn't be surprised if words have been exchanged to that effect.

[sh323 22]

Joey Barton has the potential to be one of our worst ever signings. Very disappointing considering how well he played at Burnley. 

[james_85 656]

There should have been plenty of shouting and finger pointing after that pathetic performance on Saturday. Barton doesn't seem as if he would take a loss easy. If he has over stepped the mark then fair play but it might just take something like this to pull the team together

[Masuka 254]

In his Prime he wasn't good enough for Rangers. Should never have been signed said it from the moment the rumours started Joey Barton is not what a Rangers player should be. Jordan Rossiter is EVERYTHING a Rangers player should be.

If he has been dropped, then is it that unlikely that he may have been given a few days off to go down south and spend with his family? Particularly if there has been an argument between him and Halliday? Let's everyone cool down, give Barton a chance to go away and see his kids etc. Tomorrow would be all about preparation for Saturday (which he wouldn't be involved in), yesterday would have been their day off and he was there on Tuesday.

Unfortunately there isn't much currency in that sense you have. This is complete hype. Barton will be back next week and everything will be fine. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

[danger ranger 922]

The manager has got him running the show instead of doing what he is good at, getting tackles in and breaking up the oppositions play, something had to give, especially when the manager talking about respect and analysing how the players training and preparation is well done and ignoring what is actually done on match day and ignoring the obvious problems stemming from last year. I don't know the facts but its good to see the players venting their frustrations and hopefully it will settle down to being focussed on winning.
