Joey Barton has a right to be annoyed.
The Burnley midfielder has enjoyed a wonderful season with the Championship winner Burnley, and this evening the club’s players were granted their medals by the Football League at serious knees up by all accounts.
Only there was one slight issue.
A brilliant moment for @BurnleyOfficial and everyone associated, though have they run out of medals?! Reax on #SSNHQ https://t.co/kqH7EenvC1

The club, bizarrely, did not have a medal to give to the former Manchester City midfielder, and he was a bit miffed.
No medal? What's going on? 😃

We smelled a major meltdown from Barton via social media.
He has been an ever-present for the club this season, and one of the key reason they have bounced back from last year’s demotion so quickly.
So what the hell happened? How could you forget a charming loudmouth like Joey?
Well, weirdly, it was all his club’s fault.
But all’s well that ends well.
@BurnleyOfficial No need to apologise. It will all be sorted – now enjoy the party!
