TRon Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I guess Alan Shearer is kneejerking too. In short, yes. He's probably not even seen the tackle in replay yet. What was Barton apologising for then? The ref's mistake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it funny that the manager would be kneejerking AGAINST one of his own key players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref's mistake? The tackle was unnecessary, and I can understand the ref giving a red from the position he was standing in, only seeing the back of the challenge. It was still not a red card challenge though from watching the replays, which is why I'm this annoyed with people saying it was when it quite frankly, wasn't.

I agree, but why was Smith allowed to be lucky and Barton not? It comes down to reputation again. Regardless of the challenge, if that was Gerrard he wouldn't have faced red.

What was Barton apologising for then? The ref's mistake? For giving the ref the option? It was the kind of brainless thing we’ve come to expect from Barton, but a red card was very harsh.

PM Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/NewsAndFeatures/2008/Statement_Barton_charge_Sep08.aspx The suspended sanction of six further matches will be automatically invoked in full should Barton be found guilty of any similar charge involving violence or be dismissed from the field of play for violent conduct (but not for serious foul play). Was that serious foul play or violent conduct? It was Serious Foul Play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm not really interested in hearing any more excuses for Barton. There's always some reason he can't take the pitch, if it isn't injury, it's because he's locked up. If he's not locked up he's suspended. Two years and £10m wasted.

Exactly, the bastard has let us down in the past, he let us down today and he will let us down in the future. The dopey twat has a cabbage where his brain should be.
