Joey Barton compares two female commentators to Fred & Rose West.

I knew that Joey Barton had behavioral problems, but this is unique even for him.:joker:

What do you guys think about the whole thing TIBB?

Love Joey. A great role model of free speech.

I agree with him too.

You don't need a Jimmy Saville corporation BBC link. I can just post you Joey's tweet straight from the horses mouth.

Follow Joey on Twitter

I'll give him credit for creativity, not many people would come up with that particular insult.

I feel the same on the darts. I have nothing personal against the girls that present it, but the reality is, they don't have a clue what they're talking about. And viewers don't deserve that.

I never had a problem when Helen Chamberlain used to present it, because she had a clue what she was talking about. She is a female. So it's nothing to do with Misogyny.

It's to do with what's right.

Have you ever seen Lorraine Kelly and Rose West in the same room?

ITV attempting to stop free speech. Is no-one allowed to say anything these days?

All he is saying is they are crap commentators, and there are a lot of crap commentators about these days

Joey the worldly, Barton. His opinion is all that matters in the world of football.

I've long stopped being surprised at what Joey comes out with.

I think he'd be a hoot on a night out once he started expressing his opinions.

Somehow though, I've always kind of liked him.

I know what you mean !!

I get Roy Keane vibes from him although he was obviously never in Keane’s league playing-wise .

Barton did have decent technique though and was probably as evil / nasty as RoyK on the pitch ….


I hated RoyK as a player as I hated ManU but I love him now as a pundit .

who honestly gives a fig what Joey Barton thinks about anything :laugh:

This issue of female pundits just will not go away. These geezers just cannot stay off the subject. Like they've got nothing better to comment on. From Keegan to Joey Barton :facepalm:

If you take a sport like Basketball. Not many question that Cheryl Miller or Doris Burke are qualified to commentate. Same with Tennis, no one questions that Martina Navratilova can comment on men's tennis. For some reason with football its different and these guys just cannot stay off the subject.

If Joey expressed himself a little differently Id be totally agreeing about Eni Aluko. She's rubbish and on TV far too often but comparing her to a serial killer? Joey knew exactly what he was doing sending that tweet. He'll compare female pundits to Hitler next. ITs all a bit over the top

people basically say stupid **** all the time, and i would imagine JB more than most, but bringing attention to idiots like him just feeds him more

The thing above Martina Navratilova is that we all saw her playing tennis at the very highest level .. she was totally dominant for years and am amazing athlete .. none of us have ever seen these female pundits playing football and any available clips of them are completely underwhelming

That's very true. And lets face it, look at all the criticism the male pundits and commentators get. It's part and parcel of the game. Joey Barton's choice of comparison was ridiculous, but tbh at least 50% (men and women) on commentary are useless.

I agree but have to point out that Soccer Saturday currently contains among its list of pundits - Kris Boyd, Jobi MacAuff and Jamie Mackie. McANuff has played one season in the Premier league for Reading, Mackie has played one season in the top tier for QPR and Boyd has never played in the English top tier

My point on this matter has always been that they're are many unqualified pundits among the men too so why are female pundits talked about so often.

Good points ..

I’d actually prefer if we had guys for our games and let the women work on women’s football.

There’s no excuse now as there’s tons of women’s football on telly

Tbf he is associating them with serial killers.:laugh:

Tbh I do like Joey Barton as well.

Tbh there's a few ****ed up Celebrities that I actually don't mind.:joker:

he isn't calling them serial killers, he is just saying they are crap commentators, and funnily enough, he is allowed to say that :laugh:

He should have maybe found a better comparison then

He is comparing them to serial killers though.

And yes he has the right to say that if he wants to, but people do have the right to not like the comparison that he has made.

people should get a life and not look to be outraged by every nonentity on twitter/x :laugh:

Joey's twitter has been on fire for the past few days.

He admits he got his original tweet wrong and has updated it.

Loving a bit of Joey Barton twitter right now.

"19 goals in 40 games, you do the maths, that's almost a goal a game"

I agree that worse happens in the world than what Joey Barton has said about these women, and I do support his right to say what he wants to say about them.

However I can't blame anyone if they don't like what he has said, it's not like he has said or done something harmless (like the Tekken 8 developers) and then gets ridiculous complaints from some people over nothing.

That is a funny Tweet tbf.:laugh:

And to reply to Brooksy's tweet, I don't want diversity, I honestly don't.

I want people that are talented in their field, regardless of what demographic that they're apart of (unless it's a Serial Killer or Paedophilia) but basically just try to hire talented people.

This is Lucy Ward in her playing days apparently

Tbf she'd easily get in the Birmingham City starting 11 with a performance that good.

I think that you might be interested in what Joey Barton had to say in this video about female commentators, it's a long video though, so be warned.:joker:

I only had time to watch a few minutes and it’s difficult to argue with his first few points though it’s unlikely that he’ll ever be taken seriously due to all the crazy things he’s done throughout his career

Interesting to see that just about everyone with Barton !!


I would have thought it would have been the opposite given more or less everyone hates him

Personally I don't have issues with women Pundits or Commentators.

I do agree with some of his points about modern day Footballers being too scared to show an actual personality because of cancel culture.

And I do agree with him that the UK takes on American issues as if they're our issues as well, when we need to realize that America is a very unique place in the world.
