It was nothing really the player had no right to push pardew .
Anyway what about Mourinhos eye poke During a Super Cup match when Mourinho stole up behind Vilanova, who was assistant to Pep Guardiola at the time, and jabbed a finger in his eye. Far more serious in my book.
Vilanova responded by shoving Mourinho away and although both were handed Super Cup bans by the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF), federation president Angel Maria Villar exonerated them as part of a general amnesty.
They were allowed to take their places on the bench for the first leg of the traditional season opener at Barca's Nou Camp stadium
But now because its a Newcastle manager the FA will throw the book at pards.
