Joey Barton was mocked after his post of 2015 who convicted domestic violence was dragged on Tuesday after his guilty judgment.
Barton was found guilty of attacking his wife after “kicking her in the head” during a drunken argument in June 2021.
The former Man City and Newcastle midfielder, 42, left Georgia Barton, 36, with a 'golf ball'-sized lump on her head after she threatened to fight her brother and father, a court heard.
Mrs. Barton said that her husband 'just hit me in the house' during a phone call of 999 and he received a conditional sentence of 12 weeks.
Social media users quickly pointed to a previous post on X from Barton in December 2015.
He wrote: 'How can you touch women several times and blame an incident for a decade earlier. Men who touch women are nothing but s *** houses. '
A user replied: “Since as milk, again.” Another posed: “There is always a tweet.”
Many others shared memes who spotted the hypocrisy of Barton and some just wrote 's *** house', with the help of his own explanation against him in the light of the verdict.
After he was found guilty on Tuesday, Barton quickly went to X to say: 'Really disappointed in the decision of the magistrate today. Especially after a judge 2 and a half years ago, magistrates in Wimbledon ruled in my favor.
“I intend to appeal against this decision to a higher court, the Kroonhof and although this process is underway, that is everything I will say about this.”
In another position he wrote 'Tiocfaidh Ár Lá', who translates into 'Our Day Will Come' – an Irish Republican slogan that was conceived during the problems and was often shouted by IRA and their supporters in court.
As such, the use of the controversial expression also saw him on a large scale criticized on social media.
In February 2022, Mrs Barton wrote to the Crown Prosecution Service to say that she no longer supported the case. The couple is still married. But last year the Supreme Court decided that her husband should still be tried.
The main magistrate Paul Goldspring conviction said he believed that Barton and his wife had lied to the court about what happened that night.
“I believe that the truthfulness of the first account and is supported by other evidence,” he said. 'The account on the phone in the 999 call and to the present officer is true.
“I reject Mrs. Barton's account more than eight months later and repeated her in the witness box.”
The judge said that a later statement from Mrs Barton was raised that she had accidentally sustained the injuries, was “incredible.”
He added that the couple had contradicted himself during their evidence in the process, because “they were not truthful about what happened.”
The conviction ashamed footballer Barton, Mr Goldspring told him: 'You were found guilty of a violation of your wife's attacks.
“The only place where your wife has the right to feel safe and protected is her home, and one person who has the right to feel safe and protected by you, and that is not what happened in this case.”
