From your second favourite website joeybarton.com. Joey offering up an apology for attacking Didi Hamann and agreeing that he went beyond common sense boundaries, we are not sure he has ever been the right side of those particular boundaries. Unfortunately he stops short of apologising for just being Joey Barton.. By the way there are 245,000 results when you search for Joey Barton apology.. that's before this story takes off
On Monday evening tweets exchanged between Dietmar Hamann and I went beyond the boundaries of banter, opinion and common sense.
I accept that my comments were offensive, untrue and related to matters of a personal nature, of which I had no knowledge.
I have apologised to Dietmar personally and now wish to apologise through the same social media channels that I used to make them, as well as my own website.
I appreciate my comments have caused Dietmar and his family some distress and I fully regret that.
I also appreciate that my comments should not have been made, as they could have damaged Dieitmar’s reputation, which should remain intact as a fantastic player and ambassador for German Football, as well as the game in general.
Dietmar and I have now agreed to draw a line under the unfortunate exchange and neither of us will be making any further comments on the subject.
