An FA statement read: "Joey Barton has been suspended from football and all football activity for 18-months with immediate effect after he admitted an FA misconduct charge in relation to betting.

Soccer>Baseball. Barton gets 18 months and Pete Rose gets a lifetime.

Joey's statement
Shocked that he has excuse after excuse.
quote:

on the few occasions where I placed a bet on my own team to lose, I was not involved in the match day squad for any of those games. I did not play. I was not even on the bench. I had no more ability to influence the outcome than had I been betting on darts, snooker, or a cricket match in the West Indies. I should add that on some of those occasions, my placing of the bet on my own team to lose was an expression of my anger and frustration at not being picked or being unable to play. I understand people will think that is childish and selfish and I cannot disagree with that.

I would argue that makes baseball better. Betting against your own team is pathetic. Of course, soccer is corrupt as frick, but I want him and anyone involved in match fixing or point shaving to be banned for life.

Joey Barton - betting on football. Betting against own team, whilst NOT playing - 18 month career ending ban

Ian Black - betting on football. Betting against own team, whilst playing for them - 3 match ban (7 suspended)

Pete Rose bout to frick shite up... at least he bet on the Reds to win, allegedly.

Not sure that's really an excuse... It's almost like "yeah I did it, fight me."

At his age this is basically forcing him to retire.
