im wondering if the board have acted with haste, cos if he gets a half a season stadium ban (deserved imo) they will wish they had sacked him.
Wow 19 matches! Was a proper s*** soft headbutt aswell, hardly ko'd the mackem b******.
Agree with Hans, think 8 games would be acceptable but if they push into double figures they are on a bit of an overkill.
I'll level with you brett. I cant stand Pardew, I hate him. I'd happily feed him to the crocs.
It does not matter if the headbutt was soft or not, his intention was to plant a headbutt on a fellow professional in that sport.
Its bang out of order and aggressive behaviour.
If someone swung a punch and it connected with Cisse's chin, even if it was soft...You would be demanding that the person throwing that lunch was sent off, suspended and fined.
