London Media Target Newcastle Again!
Last updated : 05 November 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
And today ... after the FA gave Joey Barton a clean bill of health after 'Judgement By TV' on Monday ... The Sun (bless their cotton socks) are still after blood.
The Sun:
"Soccer thug Joey Barton was yesterday accused of calling a black player "big lips" during a bust-up.
"The Newcastle United midfielder — who vowed to be a "role model" after his jail release — was seen by millions on TV having a row with Aston Villa ace Gabriel Agbonlahor, 21.
"Yesterday angry viewers accused him of racially abusing Agbonlahor.
"Viewer Guy Bradley, 37, was outraged after watching a different camera angle of the bust-up on Setanta's Football Matters.
"The restaurateur, of Beaconsfield, Bucks, said: "You can see Barton saying something and it looks like he's saying 'big lips'. If this is true I think he should be out of the game for good." "
And ... can you believe it ... The Sun got in touch with "lip-reading expert Terry Ruane", although nobody in the world of lip-reading has heard of him.
Talk about DESPERATE for a story!
So, if you're a lip-reading expert, handy at sign language, or just someone who likes giving abuse ... the Sun reporter can be contacted by e-mail:
