Couldn't find this elsewhere but why has he been given an extension to appeal his charge? Why haven't they just charged him we saw it he admitted it on twitter why does he need a hearing he's guilty as charged

Not sure, surely his Twitter comments bring the game into disrepute?
Evil little shit.
Watching his Twitter account has been hilarious in the last 3 days, raw abuse.

He says one of his team told him to take a City player with him. He only speaks to one player, so that player's role should also be investigated and if found guilty, banned too.

you're assuming he's telling the truth...
in joey's world, it's always someone else's fault.

The reason that Joey got longer to file an appeal is so he could actually find a solicitor that would represent him.

Reports suggest he is using his own personal brief Mr Mel Stein.

Even OJ Simpson wouldn't get away with this one.
I think that, as has been mentioned, the powers that be have no option but to investigate his comments baring in mind the precedent set by the Roy Keane affair. This is no different.
So he has 3 red card offences at once, failure to leave the pitch, and presumably this extra charge.
His career as a footballer will be finished. His only option will be to work for Tony Pulis.

I don't even know why he's still allowed to play football, let alone the fact that clubs want him. It just shows, you can take a child out of the war, but you cannot take a Joey Barton out of a Joey Barton.
