Bristol Rovers refusing to suspend him.
Granted him a few days off to "spend with his family" ironically.

Jesus, that statement is cowardly. If they want to come out and support him, why not just say it?

Once he's been convicted he'll hopefully be locked up with the rest of his family

Almost as if because his wife didn't report it herself then it's absolutely fine. I know it's the legal terminology for such a case but "victimless crime" it most certainly isn't.
Cowardly from the club & cowardly from him.

I think a fair segment of their support will be against this.

Making the news for all the right reasons again

Joey Barton escapes punishment after comparing Bristol Rovers' performances to Holocaust

Absolute scumbag. His brother is the one who killed that poor young lad in liverpool because of the colour of his skin. Cannot stand him at all

Bizarre no punishment for Barton when Clarke Harris was banned for comments made years ago

Obviously a complete scumbag.

What I find odd is that Rovers are sticking by him. The man got them relegated and now they’re just ambling around L2, he isn’t up to the job and this is a perfect opportunity to get rid.

Has no place in football, about time people stopped giving him positions and the media in column inches. Will be locked up for something serious soon, scumbag family.

I agree he is a scumbag and deserves to be locked up, but he has turned Bristol Rovers from relegation fodder into promotion hopefuls in the space of a few months.

It’s disgusting. The football authorities need to make an example of individuals like this and ensure they can’t be involved in the game when they commit crimes or this nature. Other sports do it. I see no reason why football should be any different.

Wasn’t it Luke Thomas he slated before and went viral?

It was yep and said he'd tried to terminate the loan which makes signing him in the summer even more of a strange decision.

His scoring record hasn’t improved with age unfortunately, 12 career goals

5 of them for us. Since he left, 5 in 118. Shame, always thought he'd be a decent champ level player.

Utterly classless as usual from Barton. Singling out a player so seriously as that & actually blaming him alone for the defeat. Let's not forget that Luke has battled some pretty serious mental health issues to even be back playing which he appears to take a dig at too by calling him "feeble minded".

Oh & btw, this is the goal Luke Thomas is supposedly completely to blame for...

If you were to blame somebody you'd ask 'Hunt' why he committed himself like that

Not sure if he signed him, but he also ousted Zain Westbrooke.

He did, Westbrooke’s subsequent career shows he wasn’t too far off the mark with that one though
Fair enough, but wasn’t he linked with a few Championship clubs at one point or was that just agent talk?

Now sacked by Rovers with them in 16th. Not sure if it's because of results or the fact he's a massive wanker.

Probably both. Hopefully the end of him in football but suspect someone will give him another go.
