In a recent exchange that has captured the attention of both gaming and sports communities, Twitch streamer and YouTuber Morgan “AngryGinge”has responded to the outspoken football figure Joey Barton. This incident arose following Barton’s scathing remarks regarding the Sidemen Charity Match 2025 held at Wembley Stadium. Barton voiced his disapproval of the event, claiming that the stadium should have remained available for the upcoming EFL League Cup final.
Joey Barton has long been a polarizing figure in football, often criticized for his controversial statements. His reputation for making inflammatory comments was further cemented by his latest tirade against the Sidemen players during the charity match, which aimed to raise funds for good causes.
AngryGinge’s Response to Barton’s Rant
In response, AngryGinge took to his Twitch stream to express his frustration with Barton. He addressed the hypocrisy of Barton’s criticisms while recounting his personal experience with the footballer’s son. AngryGinge stated:
“He was calling us every name under the sun. At the end of the day, Joey Barton was slagging us all off but when I went to Misfits, his son asked me for a photo. I don’t think he understands social media. He can sit there, behind a f**king camera, f**king begging it with his greasy little f**king head, right? The guy’s son was begging for a photo, and yet he wants to call us r*tards.”
What Did Barton Say About the Sidemen Charity Match 2025?
Barton has a history of controversial opinions within the football community, and his recent comments about the Sidemen Charity Match 2025 did not go unnoticed. He took to social media, criticizing the decision to host the match close to the EFL League Cup final scheduled for March 16, 2025. His vitriolic remarks extended to specific players, including JJ “KSI,”a notable member of the Sidemen:
“How is Wembley rented out a week before a League Cup Final for the R*tard Bowl? F**king embarrassing. Those clowns shouldn’t be anywhere near the hallowed turf. Especially, the big fat f**ker in a bandana.”
Barton continued his outburst, claiming:
“Game has gone…R*tardo’s everywhere you look. Some of the very worst football I’ve ever seen. El Sp*stico.”

The event successfully raised over £4.7 million (equivalent to approximately $6.1 million), with all proceeds directed towards organizations such as BBC Children in Need, Bright Side, and M7 Education.
