Golactico Posted 14 May, 2012 Share Posted 14 May, 2012 I see that the papers today are saying that Joey Barton faces a ban of 'up to' 9 games for his antics yesterday. By my reckoning, he displayed 3 separate instances of violent conduct: Elbow to Tevez, attack on Aguero and attempted head butt on Kompany. Unless the Premier league are running some sort of 'commit one offence, get two free' offer, surely his ban will be a bare minimum of10 games? 3 for each incident and one for it being his second red of the season. Throw in his continued aggressiveness when leaving the pitch and a disrepute charge for his subsequent idiotic Twitter comments and I think he'll be laughing if he only gets 9 games.

This Charming Man Posted 14 May, 2012 Share Posted 14 May, 2012 I imagine QPR will terminate his contract. Can't see Hughes tolerating behaviour like that. Can't see any Premiership teams wanting to take a gamble on him if that did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I get it? Funnily enough, from my Facebook feed - about 10 of my scouse mates have it linked. Still, since we're assigning labels based on the accident of birth, you must be a scumbag as you grew up on the Flower Roads estate. As must I.

fanimal Posted 14 May, 2012 Share Posted 14 May, 2012 What did Prutton get for his 'assault' and subsequent behaviour? Precedent? And how he has the gall to have a go at Shearer is beyond me, as a footballer he is not fit to clean his boots. lets face it if he couldnt play football he would be in jail like several others of his ilk. And as we know from SRL not all scousers are thugs so leave off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I could see any sign of that on the match of the day replays. There was a shot from the dugout that showed Tevez taking some sort of a swing at him, so I'd expect him to have to face a violent conduct charge as well. If the FA take each incident in isolation, Barton should be looking at at least 10 games on the sidelines. 4 for the red card (3 + 1 as it's his second of the season), another 3 for booting Aguero and another 3 for headbutting/attempting to headbutt Kompany. If the disciplinary panel were feeling particularly in the mood to throw several books at him, they might even add another game or two for failing to leave the pitch promptly and/or attempting to get involved in a spat with Balotelli as he was ushered away.

Didn't see that shot. Tevez should be banned too then. As to Barton's likely ban -- will they add more for bringing the game into disrepute for his twitter comments about trying deliberately to get a City player to retaliate?
