Just a bit? He groomed a minor, had sex with him and tried to cover it up to protect his image by using a This Morning episode dedicated to him coming out. It was abhorrent what he did and he got away with it, due to ITV protecting him.

I think Barton is a proper bellend, but calling them out over this is great as it’s been swept under the carpet.

Off topic but they didn't know he was "grooming". So the affair they knew about was of age which is a different.

Regardless... Barton is a bully. Always had been. Now he's bullying women online to boost his profile for a podcast.
 
I think he is maybe just trying to protect these poor fragile young females from being cruelly exploited by a huge media corporation for their own financial gains. The poor young fillies are being paraded before a predominantly male audience and their underdeveloped feminine brains don’t have the required capacity to store all of information required to watch a football match. He should be lauded for his actions really.

I don't want to be the moral arbiter but: I strongly suggest we all forget about this guy, don't keep the thread going by posting whatever nonsense he's come out with recently. Don't post his tweets, don't discuss his comments. The guy wants one thing and that's attention; the more you give him that the more he wins.

I felt sick every time there was a rumour we’d sign him cos he’s a proper bloo
 

Whilst Barton is an odious individual, lets be honest the fella has a point regarding pundits in the game. Punditry in football is a tick box exercise in which you must be either an ex RS player, black or female. I think it reflects on the current society we live in that jobs are given on the basis of a questionaire rather than meritocracy. Its not what you know its who you know comes to mind.

Eni Aluko, Garth Crooks, Jamie Redknapp - completely clueless yet all given well paid positions solely because they fit one of the above criteria.

Bartons problem is he isn't a very educated individual so the valid points he makes he does so in a brash, unsavoury manner that makes it easier for the woke mob to make an example out of him.

I rather think if he had a degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford he'd still come across as a lot of a knob.

In fact, he'd probably try something like that lad from Saltburn. The wee creep.
