lookwhaticando Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 Police to probe Barton incident Manchester City's Joey Barton could face disciplinary action after exposing his backside to Everton fans at the end of the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. Television pictures captured Barton's actions and City boss Stuart Pearce confirmed he had been approached about the incident by Merseyside Police. Pearce said: "I did not see it. But if anything did happen, we will look at it with an open mind and deal with it." Everton fans reacted furiously before City keeper Nicky Weaver intervened. Pearce added: "The police approached me afterwards to make me aware of what had happened. "I am sure the timing of our goal had a lot to do with any over-celebration. "Maybe also there was the fact that one or two people have been saying things about our away form." Merseysider Barton has been involved in previous incidents with Everton fans, having had an altercation with a Toffees supporter in Thailand during a pre-season tour in summer 2005 which saw him sent back to England in disgrace. With the police already involved, it seems only a matter of time before the Football Association launches its own inquiry, with a ban virtually certain should the case against Barton be proved. The 23-year-old's post-match conduct took the gloss of a hard-earned point for City, which halted a run of 10 defeats in their last 11 away games. BBC Sport | Football :laugh: The silly bastard. No doubt FIFA will have to introduce new rules in the game to prevent this kinda thing... they did with removing your shirt - so why not the shorts? :laugh:

Daggers Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 ...and there was me thinking you meant Barton Fox!
john_lcfc Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 did he get a yellow card? unsporting conduct etc
Magictv Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 Barton faces police probe up, for showing Everton fans his arse
Maybes Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 Haha just seen it on motd, he was only have a giggle.
Daggers Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 There was piss all to it...stuff and nonsense
Fez of Mahrez Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 I like the way Nicky Weaver tried to pull his kecks up as if prolonging the arse exposure another 0.13 seconds would overrun into the official time whereby the FA can issue players with a three-match suspension for mooning.
Hullfox Posted 30 September 2006 Posted 30 September 2006 ...and there was me thinking you meant Barton Fox! No, he just talks like an arse.
lcfc_jme Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Not seen it but it sounds quite funny. He'll definitely get banned for it when it's proven, but hats off to the lad, he knows how to have a bit of a laugh.
lookwhaticando Posted 1 October 2006 Author Posted 1 October 2006 I just realized now I missed a great opportunity - instead of calling him a silly bastard, I shoulda called him a silly arse. :laugh: Oh well, what's done is done and all that. Better luck next time, 'lookydo'. Not seen it but it sounds quite funny. He'll definitely get banned for it when it's proven, but hats off to the lad, he knows how to have a bit of a laugh. Well if it's caught on TV - which it clearly was - it will be proven and he'll probably be fined and handed a one match ban. Hilarious though. Perhaps it would seem a lot more in good humour all around if he and Everton didn't have a little history going on...

Not like you to miss opportunities such as those, it quite simply isn't good enough son A one match ban is pretty weak though rearly when you consider the nature of the offence Maybe he should have mooned the Man United fans, that'd have gone down a treat I'm sure Top bloke though for continually winding up the Blue Scousers
Daggers Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 ...instead of calling him a silly bastard, I shoulda called him a silly arse. Yup, give Lookydo enough time and he'll get to the bottom of it by being cheeky. I can't help but worry for Barton's future career plans as I fear he may have rectum.
dandannieldanok Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Great jesture by him before the incident, giving the disabled kid the his shirt!
Thracian Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 What a load of shit!!!.... Could be worse though... Barton turns his back on Police probe.....ouch!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 I guess that's what you call a Blue Moon! Get, coat, etc.
Tommeh Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Great jesture by him before the incident, giving the disabled kid the his shirt! yeah I saw that, very nice gesture
C-man Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 I guess that's what you call a Blue Moon!Get, coat, etc. I heard that joke on MOTD last night. What a legend.
Knighton Matt Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Does anyone remember Fowler 'revealing his buttocks' to the Kop many moons ago
davieG Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Does anyone remember Fowler 'revealing his buttocks' to the Kop many moons ago Yes and some Leicester fans who'd been baiting him all through the game suddenly lost their sense of humour and complained.
Thracian Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Yes and some Leicester fans who'd been baiting him all through the game suddenly lost their sense of humour and complained. The place seems to be filling up with such people these days. There'll be issuing a "this is what you can do" guide shortly. Basically sit down and chew a pie I'd imagine. Oh - and three cheeers at the end. Hip hip ....!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 I heard that joke on MOTD last night. What a legend. Didn't watch it. :pinch:
Daggers Posted 1 October 2006 Posted 1 October 2006 Yes and some Leicester fans who'd been baiting him all through the game suddenly lost their sense of humour and complained. Loss of humour? I wonder if any of them post here over on the LCFC forum
