some of the over-reactions here are embaracing, was stupid of him but people are going on like he's just raped the queen or summat.

 

That's the front page story in the NOTW this Sunday apparently.

Look, he clearly strikes Pedersen in the chest. The ball's not even in play, never mind elsewhere.

 

If the referee had seen it he'd have been sent off (and Coloccini was very lucky to stay on as well after raising his hands btw), it's as simple as that.

 

On Five Live just now they said that the FA are going to show the referee the video and see what action he would have taken if he saw it. It can't be anything other than a straight red card for violent conduct, which carries a three-match ban.

 

Whatever you think of Pedersen as a player or person, to suggest he's in any way to blame for this is farcical.

 

To the letter of the law, you're probably correct. A bit like if a bloke murdered someone he caught shagging his missus, technically it's no defence.

Barton was undoubtedly to blame, but it's pretty clear that Pedersen went out of his way to provoke the incident and then make the biggest deal possible out of it, like the sneaky little shit he is.

Aye. It happened at Nolan's house party.

Spur of the moment frustration as he wants to win so much. He will be gutted he has done it but should benefit from a rest and come back raring to go.

Routledge should seize his chance because he looked good for us and was axed quite quickly after a couple of wayward games.

He has the ability to nail down the right wing spot if he can reproduce his early form.

On a pinball machine filled with cocaine whilst lighting up a doobie.

Like everyone else I wish Joey would count to ten before acting sometimes, but peversely theres something refreshing about the way his misdemeanours occur. They're always pretty out in the open and straightforward, unlike many in the game who's crimes are conducted in a sly cheating manner while always making a meal of anything directed back at them.

Honestly sick of the hysteria from some people.

 

Joeys been a naughty boy, will get a punishment from the club and FA, end of.

 

People need to get over this notion that footballers should be role models.

 

The football pitch is a competitive place and things like this happen in all competitive sports , at all levels.

More because MGP isn't Joey Barton.

If someone else had done it,for starters the press wouldn't have highlighted it.

 

I think they would. He's thrown a punch man, howay. If someone throws a punch in a game, the MOTD editors don't just go "oh it's only player X, don't show it".
