NORWICH’S BRADLEY JOHNSON has hit back at QPR midfielder Joey Barton, after the star accused him of “conning” the referee in yesterday’s game between their respective clubs.
Barton was sent off, after appearing to headbutt Johnson, however the QPR midfielder took to Twitter to express his outrage at the decision.
And Johnson hit back in the argument yesterday evening, as he revealed a sign, which read: ‘Barton your breath stinks,’ while appearing on live TV during yesterday’s darts final.
Barton is also likely to face disciplinary action from the FA following his comments, while his manager Neil Warnock could also be punished, after he claimed that “the assistant referee guessed” to determine the outcome of the controversial incident.

The QPR midfielder can now list Johnson to his long list of enemies, which also includes Karl Henry, the powers that be at Newcastle and most bizarrely of all, Ed Miliband.
