Well bugger me sideways Joey Barton always seems like such a laid back kinda lad. It's hard to imagine what could have provoked him in such a way! #hedstartafightinanemptyroom

So Joey Barton has "allegedly" assaulted the Barnsley manager in the tunnel today. Had a fan "allegedly" gone anywhere near an opposition player or fan he'd be jailed and banned from even watching football for 10 years. Bet he gets a fine and 2 match touchline ban

There was also reaction on Barnsley’s club statement…
If it's true Stendel should press charges & Barton should be sacked and banned from football for life.

Lads, if you're confirming an incident, it's no longer alleged

He should be jailed if that was a fan they would be arrested and jailed straight away

He’ll get sack for that
