    I went there for a game in 2015 or 2016, I had advanced purchase train tickets and our game with Scunthorpe had been postponed because of international call ups.
    It was pouring with rain all day which made the place all the more dreary.
    They had a Spoons so that was good :)

    I mean, you can't really expect much from a place name that closely resembles a childhood nickname for a testicle - but even with that low starting point, Goole still manages to disappoint. I've ridden my bike through there a few times, it's the sort of place where locals stand slack-jawed in the street, pointing listlessly at you in bewilderment if you're wearing any clothing other than jogging bottoms.

    I've been to both - neither are as bad as any of the towns I mentioned above.

    Barton is an example of my theory that people who like Morrissey have a good chance of being fruit loops.

    A place called Goole. Never heard of it but I like it already.
    I actually watch All or nothing and other channels that travel around UK and I've not seen Goole visited yet

    In the early 90s I resembled this remark.  In 2025, I no longer resemble this remark.  Am I a reformed fruit loops?

    Worked on the Hessle Road, Hull in the 80s. If you think it's a dump now, I was working there before they had loads of redevelopment investment.

    Joey Barton arrested after assault near golf club 

    Former footballer Joey Barton and a second suspect have been arrested after a man was assaulted near a golf club. It happened on Sunday at 21:00 GMT in Fairway, near Huyton and Prescot Golf Club on Merseyside.

    Officers arrived at the scene and found a man with injuries to his face and ribs, Merseyside Police said. A 50-year-old man and a 43-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of wounding. Both men remain in custody for questioning.

    Police said the victim was taken to hospital for assessment of injuries to his face and ribs. At a High Court hearing earlier over a libel claim involving Barton, Gervase de Wilde, representing ex-England footballer Eni Aluko, said his instructing solicitor had "received a call from a duty solicitor in a police station in Liverpool" shortly before the hearing.

    Mr de Wilde told the court that Barton "was arrested yesterday and is currently being held in custody".

    Might also worth noting that Eni Aluko won her case against Barton:
    Former England footballer and pundit Eni Aluko has been awarded more than £300,000 damages * and legal costs after suing Joey Barton for libel over social media posts.

    Given the Jeremy Vine case apparently cost him £600k once you take costs into account etc, it's a hell of a lot of money to pay out just to feel all edgy on Twitter.

    Perhaps Tommy-ten-names can give him some tips on how to grift money out of gullible saps? I am sure there are plenty of people who will give up a chunk of their weekend drugs money to help a bloke who insults a posh black woman... Three birds with one stone there.  :D

    Former footballer Joey Barton will remain in custody until his trial next year after a bail application was refused.

    So by the time his court case comes up he will have been inside for about a year. I’m guessing it must be GBH?

    He thought somebody's head was a golf ball.

    One of the many problems with Barton is that he never seems to learn his lesson.
    This probably comes down to him being a nasty piece of work, I'll not be surprised if one day he gets a terrible hiding, this will either be out of prison or whilst he is in the slammer(and eventually the day will come he will be there for a long term).

    He is charged with causing GBH with intent (section 18 wounding).

    It's basically the most serious non-fatal assault charge there is. Google says sentences range from 2-16 years depending on a) the intent and b) the severity of the injury.

    I'm pretty sure i read the other guy might have lost his sight in one eye, so i guess that counts as pretty severe.

    Narcissists can't be taught a lesson because to learn something you'd have to be able to accept you were ever wrong in the first place. Joey Barton has never done anything wrong ever and everything bad that has happened to him in his life has been caused by a conspiracy to keep him down. He is misunderstood, primarily because he is too complex for any human brain other than his to understand. That's what he thinks anyway, the reality is he is a man of middling intelligence, the smartest person in his circle I don't doubt, but about a million miles away from actually having anything to offer society beyond damage. He's lucky he was good at football, now he just needs to sit still and leave everyone alone
