Joey Barton apologises in full to Didi Hamann for THAT Twitter spat

Yesterday Didi Hamann hinted at taking some action against Joey Barton for that now infamous Twitter chat. This evening, Joey has apologised in full. Funny that.

It seems Joey Barton has finally seen sense and decided to make a full and frank apology to his former team-mate at Manchester City, Didi Hamann.

As we’re sure you remember, the two lads had an epic Twitter spat on Monday night, with the English man accusing the German of all sorts of unsavoury behaviour.

Yesterday, Hamann said that he was not happy with Barton’s ‘half-hearted’ apology the next morning on Twitter and that he would be speaking to some people. You have to think those people were from the legal profession as this evening Barton has released this statement on his website.

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.

We guess that’s the end of that then.
