Guest magpie99 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 TBH, I cannot understand everyones fascination with him, particularly, our own fans. For the amount of money we paid for him, we got little in return from him other than a couple of reasonable performances in the latter weeks of the championship season and a dozen or so decent displays last season. Unfortunately, I think Joey has "run his race" in this country and I wouldnt be surprised to hear in the next couple pf years, that he has been jailed in some middle eastern country like UAE or Qatar for lamping some arab taxi driver, having been employed by some also ran offering him a big last pay day. Goodbye Joey, you wont be missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 My dad interviewed him for his work today (he's making a programme on home advantage). They had a bit of chit chat before the interview and Barton was supposedly very nice and friendly. Said that he's expecting a 10-15 game ban for his shenanigans against city. He's claiming that Tevez hit him in the face and retaliated, knows it was wrong but is absolutely baffled at why the Tevez initial punch is being overlooked. He also kneed Aguero on his way off because he pushed him while it was all kicking off. He claims that he never tried to headbutt Kompany, he says Lescott was pushing his head and he was just trying to release it from his grasp, the logic he used was 'you can see that Lescott is pushing me towards Kompany because his hand follows my head all the way to Kompany's head, if he wasn't pushing my head towards Kompany's then his hand would have lost contact immediatley after i tried to pull my head away'. Not very suprising or interesting i know but whatevs trevs Typical excuse that everyone else to be blamed except himself. That's his biggest problem actually.

If that is indeed the sanction, then really can't see QPR letting him hang around. In any case, he's certain to lose the captaincy. That would be ridiculous like, should be less than what Suarez got.

Err, why? Because what Barton did was stupid but no worse than what the likes of Bowyer/Dyer did and countless other violent incidents. Should be more than 3 games since he did it twice, but I think it's far more important that a message is sent out over racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree that Suarez should have got longer than he did, Barton committed three seperate acts of violent conduct to go along with the one he was already sent off for this season. If the FA follow through with their own rules, it should be 15 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 15 seems over the top at first, but when you look at it as 3 separate bans for 3 separate incidents they're simply going by the book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton struck Tevez, kneed Augero unprovoked and from behind, then tried to headbutt Kompany who was merely trying to diffuse the situation. The cunt should be banned for 20 games.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Football's bans for violence are excessive in general in my opinion. Unless you intentionally injure someone or have an actual brawl on the pitch, there is no need for suspensions to be more than a few matches. The idea where violent conduct is automatically three matches is mad as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i agree with nearly of this mate, if you thought Kompany was moving forward in a diffusing kind of manner you must be mental. He was aggressive and quite right to be too, just sticking up for his own players. 20 games isn't long enough though, 200 would better for me like.

Taking it too literally mate, i just meant Joey getting his come uppance, not Kompany giving Joey his 'trying to take one with him' as you pointed out. Mind you, Joey punched flat out wouldn't really have given him his 'trying to take one with him' moment in the way he meant it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
