I really hope the wee prick gets a good doing over in inside..
Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been jailed for assault and affray.
Barton, 25, was arrested in Liverpool on 27 December 2007 after he was involved in a confrontation outside a McDonald's restaurant in the city.
The midfielder, of Foxbank Close, Widnes, admitted the charges last month but reporting restrictions were only lifted on Tuesday.
He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court where Judge Henry Globe QC sentenced him to jail for six months.
The judge told him it was a "violent and cowardly act".
A spokesman for Newcastle United said the club was "considering" the verdict.
A statement read: "Newcastle United notes the sentence passed to Joey Barton at Liverpool Crown Court today. "The club is considering the verdict and will be making no further comment at this moment."
