Not guilty till proven otherwise but if found guilty of hitting a women which is one of the worst things a man " coward ," can do kick him out of football for good.

Its Magistrates and lowest of the assault charges.
Fine and a slap on the hand J reckon.
Hopefully the case following the incident at Barnsley will result in serious repercussions.

How much previous can an innocent man have?

Twenty Eight · 25-07-2021, 17:49

Well it would be helpful if his missus didn't stick up for him .......... Jesus Mary and the wee donkey.

You may be right, 28, but in today’s Trial by Social Media, Barton may find that hitting a woman has greater repercussions than hitting a fellow football manager.

No mate. Sentencing guidelines are just that and remember this is Magistrates not Crown with a unreliable witness / victim.
If Barton had worried about trial by social media he'd have never worked in the game again after putting a cig out in an academy player's eye - but still got offers of work.

Twenty Eight · 25-07-2021, 18:10

There are other instances as well that got swept under the carpet / people paid off. Fact - or should I say allegedly.

if all this had happened to coley and not that dick barton we all know what the outcome would be. shelf stacking for the former. do not talk about role models in the game when people like him are still in it.

Congrats to Seamus on signing a new 1 year extension on his current contract, keeping him here until 2023 - well deserved

Great news not only on the pitch but off it.

Well done to Seamus great to see longer contracts and extension,s to current ones for players the management want to keep, hard to imagine when Seamus first arrived.

No. Saturday 3pm games are subject to the blackout again. In league two quite a few games are getting moved to Friday nights and to 1pm Saturday kickoffs.

The good news is the FL are seriously looking at how they could build on the success of the last 18 months and implement something without the PL just showing all their games on Saturdays at 3 pm and it seems what they're looking at doing is creating a difference between a broadcast and a paid stream and allowing streams but not broadcasts.

One of the things they are looking at is where you buy a season ticket which gives you access to all your clubs home games either in person or as a stream at a reasonable price but then charging considerably more than last seasons 10 quid if you were to buy on a match by match basis.

But apparently one of the things thats holding things up is that they've yet to come up with a way of making the i/follow system more secure to prevent all the pirate streams that were about. I guess it's all a matter of making sure that they come up with something that would be guaranteed to create extra revenue and not eat into current gate earnings that would be a lot harder to pirate than it was last season.
