SHOULD WE GET TOUGHER ON YOB BEHAVIOUR?

Tuesday May 20,2008

NEWCASTLE midfielder Joey Barton was today jailed for six months at after admitting charges of assault and affray in relation to a confrontation outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Liverpool last year.

The former Manchester City captain was arrested in Liverpool city centre on the 27th December.

The 25-year-old admitted the charges last month and was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court today.

Should footballers be setting a better example to youngsters?

Is the sentence too lenient?

Should Newcastle make an example of Barton and get rid of him?

Have YOUR say!
