NEWCASTLE midfielder Joey Barton has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association over his assault on Ousmane Dabo 15 months ago.

The 25-year-old was given a four-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, on July 1 after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm on his former Manchester City team-mate during a training session in May last year.

The new charge from the FA comes as a result of that hearing at Manchester Crown Court after football's governing body received all the relevant documentation from the case.

Barton has until August 13 to respond to the charge.

LMFAO - I think thats poetic justice in this case:D, so based on past charges, he faces half the season out.

How many games did Cantona get for the Kung fu kick 12 games or so right?

Barton said "The first day's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in, hand you your uniform and force you to pose for the photographer while loads of fat, tattooed, skinheads shout abuse at you. That's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye.
Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it. That's when it hits home. That's when you realise you've signed for Newcastle."

He has also been axed by Nike - this was worth £40K a year - or 5 days salary from his day job.

Joey Barton could be hit with a 15-match ban by the Football Association after he was charged with violent conduct for his training ground attack on Ousmane Dabo last year. (Various)

I think I am going to forgive Barton - There I've said it
He's served his time. He will get punished for the Dabo incident.

(Not that I am sure I personally have anything to forgive)

Joey Barton is now being sued by the teenager that he was convicted of assaulting in Liverpool. The teenager did receive compensation at the time but now claims it wasn't enough. Poor Joey. Everyone wants their slice.
