Joey Barton loses in court

Really pleased to see Barton lost his court case against Jeremy Vine and was forced into a grovelling apology and a £75k fine + legal costs

Maybe he'll learn to shut his mouth occasionally now....or maybe not

    Good . The bloke is a nasty piece of work . Just look at the racist rants he put on Twitter yesterday.

    The real shame is he won't learn a thing from this and will be spouting off about how "They" are out to get him etc

    my mate used to say "he#s a c@nt and a half" I couldn't agree more.
    Probably won't be long before his rants at Eni Aluko get him in trouble

    I have to wonder how he is in employment.

    He’s just a really nasty obnoxious person.

    I don’t think he is anymore apart from his podcast .

    But he's a great philosopher of our time.

    Just for the sake of clarity, Barton did not lose the court case.  There was no case.

    Last month the judge ruled that his comments could be viewed as defamatory (rather than just banter). In other words, in any subsequent action, he would have to show, on the balance of probabilities, that what he said about Vine was true. Clearly he would not have been in a position to do that and therefore settled out of court with a payment plus costs plus an apology.

    “I won’t pander to the woke mob!”

    One month later

    ”I’m really sorry Jeremy”

    He was once on Question Time, but that was before he stubbed out a cigar in an another player’s eye.
  • He seems to have a really short fuse, and keeps putting his foot in it, could do with some counciling in how to treat people, would be money better spent imo.

    I genuinely laughed for ages at that one-two punch of him saying he was quitting social media and the grovelling, zero snide, lawyer-penned apology. I'm still laughing about it now. Just another example of Barton being nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. After failing at management he thought he'd transition into being a mouth online like he's seen so many other controversy merchants do and assumed if someone else could do it he could. I don't think I've ever seen someone take a run-up to a personal relaunch like this and fail so quickly, turns out there's more to making money off outrage than just solely being an arsehole. Such a shame Barton found out the hard way.

    I'm sure he'll find a way to try explain how it was all rigged on his podcast in a desperate attempt to get listeners

    As much as I think Barton is a twat, I've also a bit of an irrational hatred for Jeremy Vine who comes across as a prick as well

    This is where I am.

    Barton a huge twat, Vine just a twat.  So naturally two twats going at it is great entertainment.

    Not sure if I’m being woodshed but the cigar was about ten years before question time

    Yeah I don't like Jeremy Vine, but Joey Barton having to come out with a formal public statement saying he hereby accepts that Jeremy Vine isn't actually a 'bike nonce' is pretty funny.

    You may have all the trappings of wealth and be able to be heard above the average person, but the reality is that you are a juvenile delinquent in a thin veneer of civility.

    Amazingly enough it wasn't.  He is another who creates controversy through his outrageous comments and finds a seat available to him at the Question Time table.
