Ross Barkley

Where's the straightener then ? Ross can't let that go.

I guarantee Ross is less arsed about this than some of the people on here. He's a young lad living in a city, who seems to enjoy a life outside of football. It won't be the first time he's took a punch and it won't be the last.
Happens literally every day.

No offence but he should be. Professional sportsmen dont have a habit of going around getting punched every so often.

I know its extreme but sometimes a punch isnt just a punch, he could have had a broken jaw or fell and smashed his head on something - people have actually died from a single punch.

apparently he'd been chatting up the lads bird but still bit of a shithouse to just talk to him and hit him when he isn't expecting it.

Can't imagine the people Ross hangs around with taking it too well like, meant to be a bit of a rough crowd.

Still think he'll stay though.

I'd hate to be you then! lol

In my defence, she's a big girl.

I've been punched once in my 23 years. And it was on a rugby field. I think you need to try moving in different circles lol

Maybe thats part of the issue.

Wish someone would try and take my mrs off me!!!

Not really, Jelavic has literally got croatian mafia looking after him and he's still a top pro.

Footballers mates are who they are, aslong as they don't get involved with it then theres no issue.

I know mate, can't believe he had the audacity to get himself attacked. Disgraceful behaviour, it really is.

Pipe down with the sarcasm, thanks.

There's nothing wrong with going out for a few shandies in town after a good win, he's entitled to do that, within reason.

I don't buy it that it was a total stranger who punched him though.

Did you punch him back?

 

[zzr45]

I remember being his age and roughly in the same shape.

I also got punched a lot. It goes with the territory.

Lot of sheltered lives playing out here.

I've never been punched!. I think he's got one of them faces.

 

[Donald Twain]

I used to love taking and handing out digs when I was young , great days!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Did you punch him back?

No I got sparked and subbed off lol

Fine mate, let's let Ross off because it's town lad innit, stuff like that just happens. Yeah it does, makes for a boss anecdote to all your mates afterwards but when you're a pro footballer it's stupid. What if circumstances were different and we were going for fourth and he cracks his jaw or skull? Or worse that's a knife? He should understand that when he goes to those places he's got s target on his back. This thread is full of innocuous stuff that has happened to just random blokes 'doing nothing' (although I bet half of you were cracking on to someone's bird) so what does a footballer expect is going to happen if he goes to these places?

Stupid from Ross.

I'm 'letting him off' because I haven't got a clue what happened. Neither have you but you've decided to be judge, jury and executioner.

If he's done something bad then I won't stick up for him, but I've got no evidence that he is. Even he has, cracking him with a sucker punch isn't acceptable. Victim blaming isn't appropriate no matter what the crime.

My point wasn't about whether Ross was to blame or not, just the laughable notion that idiots don't start fights for nothing. We've all seen it or been involved in it, and it can literally be nothing. I ended up in a&e in my uni days after getting sucker punched and hitting my head on a wall. I was walking home and had never seen the lad involved before in my life. If you think it doesn't happen you've lived an incredibly sheltered life.
