We lost our daughter just over 14 years ago and life has never been the same since.

So sorry to hear that your family has been through this, I cannot even begin to imagine how awful this must be, and where people find the strength to carry on. Best wishes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if I was Joey Barton and my missus, pissed or not, fabricated an assault which subsequently put me through a Court appearance and the nationwide negative press that comes with it, she wouldn’t be my missus for very long. There is another old saying that may be relevant in this case… ‘the truth comes out when your drunk’. I was just pointing out that everybody is quick to assume that they know everything about a situation, when they weren't there. With regards to her lifestyle being at risk, I doubt that, I think JB has been shrewd with the money he's earned, and a good lawyer would probably get her 60%. They've been together for a long time, and I would imagine that it might well be a tempestuous relationship at times, especially with alcohol in the mix. I guess she does what she thinks is best for herself and the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i said ‘lifestyle’ I was more referring to their whole family life as opposed to wealth...just couldn’t think how to word it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can tell you from experience that losing a child can really - unsurprisingly- **** with your head, and it becomes very easy to lash out- both physically and metaphorically - at times you normally wouldn't.

Fair point you make and as stated above he may be better off away from the side of the pitch when they play at Wembley incase things don't go for Port Vale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is a great healer but one never forgets. It's just further away. The older I get, the more I miss Dad and Mum. I've been happily married again for twenty years after first wife died, yet still think about her most days.

No problem not making it more pi**sd off that one of your ex managers allegedly headbutted our captain but shouldn't really be surprised as you like employing thugs. Hahahaha it is most definitely is a made up number. As everyone on here knows I am 110% against Barton because of his actions but one thing I will not have is a Swindon fan going on about DC being a thug?!??!! Anyone who watched it saw there was no headbutt and the “allegedly” in your sentence confirms that even you know it yourself. As mentioned already DC has gone through something that fortunately most of us will never have to. It’s out of character for him but don’t go creating a scenario to suit your own agenda because your team weren’t good enough over 46 games and then an extra two legs to get promoted. Every week you come on here and sound more and more like your own description of a Rovers fan. Boasting about attendances and away followings. Congratulations on having a higher home gate than us for the first time in years. Congratulations on yet again not having a higher away following despite the numerous weeks on here I read you claiming you were taking 3500 everywhere you were going. Maybe if Garner spent more time looking at how he set you lot up in that second leg as opposed to blaming an “unwatered pitch” you’d have been in the final. propa wallop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
