Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been left out of the team's pre-season tour of America after the US Embassy refused to grant him a visa.
In 2008 he was jailed after admitting assault in Liverpool city centre.
In the same year he was given a suspended sentence for an assault on a team-mate at Manchester City.
Barton, 28, said that he regretted not being able to go, but did not expect to be treated more favourably than anyone in a similar situation.
Newcastle are due to depart for the US on Sunday, with matches scheduled against Sporting Kansas, Orlando City and Columbus Crew.
Barton will travel to Holland with the club's reserve team, which will play Hollandia, FC Utrecht and Almere City.
The midfielder said: "Unfortunately, I was denied my visa due to my past.
"I regret not being able to travel with the club on this trip, but at the same time, I don't expect to be treated any differently or more favourably than anyone else in a similar situation.
"All I can do is continue to improve as a person, which is what I intend to do."
He added: "Again, apologies to all the NUFC supporters, as well as the fast-growing legions of football supporters, in the United States who I was looking forward to meeting.
"I will see you in the future."
He later commented on his Twitter page: "Visa story is correct, they told me am not allowed in until I have 5yrs without any trouble. 3yrs down, 2yrs to go."
Another post read: "Totally hypocrisy considering what they get up to, but rules are rules."
A third post read: "I can't be bothered dwelling on negatives, this is my last post about the visa situation."

He's a twat. Fúck him. He tries to pretend he's a changed person but he's a horrible scouse prick from a horrible scouse family. He'll end up in some shíte again sooner or later. He is scum.

It was an accident I heard. He slipped and landed on the axe.

It was an insurance scam gone wrong. His own fault really.
As for Joseph he's an average player who would slightly improve us.

He meant top floor flat, bless him. Anyway, Barton. I might be mellowing but he doesn't really bother me. There's bigger cúnts in the football world unfortunately. |

Almere is the Skelmersdale of the Netherlands and there isn't a single decent hotel in the entire area. Just thought I'd let you know.

There are a few quite decent hotels in Almere - to which even I would recommend to people:- Apollo Hotel - very upmarket 4* and expensive Hotel chain Finn Hotel - very much along the lines of NH hotels Anno Hotel - very much like a family run 3* hotel Van Der Valk Hotel (ok its more Almere Haven than Almere Stad) a 4* hotel Bastion Hotel - a top range 3* hotel (on the edge of the new Almere Poort area of the city) But yes I agree that Almere is like a Skem or the Milton Keynes (as I say) of Holland - good for families with plenty of parks, open areas, beaches and a decent shopping centre, but useless for singles who like going out in amsterdam as no night time buses (except saturday nights) and last train during the week is 00:35 weekends 01:35, otherwise its about €90 by taxi - in other words its perfect for Joey Barton!!!!!! |

In the middle of the industrial estate, and next to the main road, right? |

Is there such a thing as a "top range 3 star"?

Diana,
I am surprised - I would have thought even you would realise that there are differing levels within the star ratings system.

In the middle of nothing, next to the main road as I recall. Didn't know that they've built a Van Der Valk close by though. Might stay there next time - I quite like them. |
