Barton refused bail again
Newcastle and England midfielder Joey Barton will remain in jail after he was refused bail for a second time on Thursday.
Barton, 25, had already had one bail request turned down by magistrates following his arrest in Liverpool last week when he was charged with common assault and affray.
The former Manchester City star is on bail for two other alleged offences.
There was more bad news for Barton, who appeared via video link from Liverpool's Walton Prison wearing a grey prison-issue jumper and jeans.
During the hearing the assault charge against him was upgraded from a Section 39 common assault to a Section 47 assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
