<p>Joey Barton admitted he was &quot;reckless and stupid&quot; after being stripped of the QPR captaincy and fined six weeks wages for his sending off against Manchester City on the final day of the Barclays Premier League season.</p><p>The 29-year-old was hit with a 12-match ban and fined £75,000 by the FA last month after being dismissed for elbowing Carlos Tevez, then kicking out at Sergio Aguero as he left the pitch before aiming a headbutt in the direction of Vincent Kompany. Following their own internal investigation, QPR have now imposed further sanctions on the controversial midfielder.</p><p>Barton apologised in a statement on the club's official website, which he later expanded on in a series of Twitter posts, he said: &quot;I was reckless and deserved every punishment I received. Money comes and goes, it's not important to me. Losing the captaincy and missing 12 games is what really hurts.&quot;</p><p>Copyright (c) PA Sport 2012, All Rights Reserved.</p>
