Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Have I missed something about the original punch from Tevez not being cited?

 

From watching it on Sunday, it looked as though Tevez reacted poorly to a hard (but fair) sliding tackle by Barton near the corner flag (Tevez pulled out from going for the ball), he then shoulder barged Barton as he went past.

 

A minute or two later, Tevez is rolling around on the floor after clashing with Barton.

 

Replay showed Tevez striking Barton with his hand/fist and Barton retaliating with an elbow to the neck/face. The linesman on the far side flagged for the retaliation (he saw that?) but not the initial hit. Why?

 

???

 

tevez is such a despicable cunt on every level isn't he? :lol:

Because the lino was on the other side of the pitch, his view put Tevez as the furthest player from him, Barton obstructing his direct line of sight to Tevez, as with most of these incidents, its the retaliating that gets seen.

 

It takes a second or so for the lino to realise whats going on as he would have been watching for offside first and foremost, its just a luck thing that Tevez didn't get seen and Barton did imo, but Tevez should be charged too.

Tbf, If I was facing the equivalent disciplinary panel for gross misconduct in my profession, I'm sure they'd move it back to accommodate the fact that I fucked off on holiday with prior knowledge said meeting was forthcoming...

Hope he at least takes Tevez out for 3 games, not that the cunt would be bothered, would see it as an extended summer to play golf.

 

Fuker should get a heavy fine for the rip Fergie sign, but he won't.

He shouldn't even be playing in England any more. Mancini is a pussy. Same goes for Balotelli-gate "never playing for Man City again" and in the first possible game he can he puts him on.

 

Whole club is a disgrace, from top to bottom.  All deserve one another, damn shame they've a title to show from being the worlds biggest cockends, fans included.

Ok, so the linesman can be excused his assumption because Barton was 'in his line of sight' (don't think that holds true, like) but why hasn't Tevez been charged afterwards?

 

I don't the replay showed Tevez 'striking' Barton. He was over aggressive in contact, but it wasn't comparable to what Joey did.

 

His initial punch at Barton was worse than the 'elbow jab' that Barton retaliated with, you could tell it stemmed from the earlier challenge as well.

 

 

Don't condone either player, but I understand some of Barton's frustration when Tevez seemingly got away with being the aggressor. (his subsequent overreaction hasn't garnered him any sympathy, like)

Joey Barton has accepted an FA charge against him for violent conduct against Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero.

 

The Queens Park Rangers player has denied a second charge of alleged violent conduct against Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany. The player has requested a personal hearing, the date of which has yet to be set.

 

Both charges against Barton are in relation to Sunday’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

 

Following the player’s dismissal in the 54th minute of the fixture, there followed two incidents involving Aguero and Kompany. As Barton had already been dismissed, both of these incidents fell outside of the jurisdiction of the referee.

I'm glad the crazy bastard wasn't crazy enough to deny kneeing Aguero. Still can't believe he's denying the Kompany incident either regardless of whether he made contact its clear he tried nutting him, as long as the FA don't think that no contact means no violence then he should be punished for that as well.

 

Tevez is no angel in all of this but given the fallout afterwards its no surprise that was missed. Its a pity there is no team citing option really like in rugby, its clear that Tevez provoked I think QPR have the right to complain about this, as we had the right to complain for the Rooney on Colo argument.
