I'm a long standing Barnsley supporter - I'm neither stupid nor am I going to '**** off.' I want Barton prosecuted - - nothing more to say to you!
No changes for tomorrow's match - hopefully the unsettling events of last week wont impinge on the team performance or manager. I wonder what impact if any the alleged assault will have had on Stendels thinking/plans for his future.
To be fair, none of us are in possession of the facts and as horrible a lovely person as joey barton is, he should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, like everyone else. So far, everything beyond the official statements is complete hearsay.
He's got to be bloody confident that there is no conclusive or admissable video evidence for him to be so vehemently denying everything. Or he's gonna look a bit silly. Guessing he knows that somehow there isn't enough evidence?
Standard response to deny and claim innocence, he is hardly going to incriminate himself knowing that porridge is the likely outcome.
