QPR boss Hughes ponders Twitter ban for Barton

QPR boss Mark Hughes may move to ban Joey Barton from Twitter.

Hughes is set to ban Joey Barton from Twitter after the Attorney General's decision to look at the midfielder's comments on John Terry.

Barton, who has nearly 1.2million followers on Twitter, appeared to ­question Terry's ­forthcoming defence in his tweets.

Hughes has previously been supportive of Barton's use of the social networking site.

Only on Friday the Welshman reiterated he had no problem with his player's tweeting.

But the QPR boss said on Saturday: "I will wait to see if that is confirmed and if it is confirmed there is a different conversation that needs to be had. We'll see."
