Fucking hell, the way people are going on you'd think he'd killed someone. Ok he punched another player, something he absolutely should not have done, but we know he's got a screw loose and he's not the first player to do something daft ona football pitch.

Cantona, Keane, Shearer, Zidane, Rooney, Beckham - the list is endless.

Watched it again on the news today (god they're going overboard on it)

 

Barton must have the strongest punch in the world looking at how MGP went down and the lack of back swing from Barton

 

It was the Bruce Lee one-inch punch, apparently Barton trained with Sensei Lee before he became a footballer. Little known fact that.

Barton deserved the ban, maybe next time someone runs into him with a shoulder he can go down like a sack of potatos. What bBarton did was wrong and he has been banned and apologized, lets hope the media lets it go , like that will happen.

 

I don't think Barton does that sort of stuff, even when Henry was commiting repeated GBH on him at Wolves he just got on with things.

Had the roles been reversed then I'm sure Pedersen (has he been on the Apprentice yet ? - He's got all the right attributes) would have been rolling around on the floor, as it seemed big macho Blackburn have been told to play act at every opportunity.

In this league maybe we (regretably) need to be a littler "cuter". As I said earlier problem with Barton is his misdemeanours are just so out in the open - mind for a 3 match ban he might as well have landed Pedersen a real haymaker instead.

It isn’t fashionable to rate Joey Barton as a footballer, but this season the Newcastle midfielder has been good enough for England.

 

Of course, Barton will never get the chance to add to the one cap he won for his country almost four years ago because he’s got a rap sheet as big as Mike Ashley’s bank balance and has done jail time.

 

He also upset one or two of the big egos that still remain in the England dressing room the last time he was on international duty.

 

Now I’m not one of those bleeding hearts prepared to justify Barton’s behaviour by blaming a broken home or an underprivileged upbringing.

 

He was given enough “second chances” before finally landing a six-month stretch for battering someone in a McDonalds. Classy that.

 

And any suggestion that, at the age of 28, Barton has matured into a reformed character was shattered by his sneaky punch on Gamst Morten Pedersen.

 

But let’s not blow Barton’s latest crime against football out of proportion.

 

He didn’t hurt Pedersen. There was never any chance he would hurt Pedersen.

 

I can only assume the Backburn midfielder went down like a bag of cement out of utter shock.

 

And what Barton did certainly wasn’t anywhere near as dangerous as the stamp that Tottenham’s Tom Huddlestone got away with this week.

 

The two incidents highlight perfectly the hypocrisy of the FA’s disciplinary system.

 

Barton was caught bang to rights when he thumped Pedersen in the chest.

 

And so was Huddlestone when he raked his studs into the groin of Johan Elmander.

 

But one of them is viewed as a mindless thug with a penchant for violence, while the other is regarded as a gentle giant who just doesn’t do that kind of thing.

 

The red mist came down on Huddlestone last Saturday just like it did with Barton on Wednesday night.

 

Anyone who thinks that incidents like these are judged in isolation should remember Alan Shearer’s stamp on Neil Lennon a few years ago and Steven Gerrard’s elbow on Michael Brown last season.

 

When Barton is sat with his feet up this weekend and sees Huddlestone playing against Blackburn, I wonder if once again he’ll be feeling that the whole world is against him.

yup. and lets not forget the double leg breaking of ben arfa, with nothing being done by the FA when De Jong's own international coach said it was out of order.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned as I havent really read all of this thread but did anyone else notice Pederson winding up our team something rotten in the first half?

 

We won a free kick and Shola was trying to get the ball but Pederson kept dribbling away from him like a right cunt. That amongst other things probably wound Joey up.

Should have punched him in the nose IMO

Barton may be slightly better than the odd player in the England team but the fucker is toxic so Fabio is not going to pick him. 

 

Where as AC has certain isssues but he is lot better at some things he does than others so he will get picked.

The thing with Andy Carroll is he has never done anything bad on-field. While Barton leaves most of it off-field he has a tendency to show his bad side on the field too which gets bad press for him.

 

But he's not a dirty player, he doesn't lunge into tackles he's not doing that regularly as some players such as Henry, Cattermole, Huddlestone, even Fabregas sometimes is a dirty cunt. 

 

But he has to be smarter he knows he's going to be watched every second of every game he plays. It was stupid, he apologized now lets put this in the past and concentrate on Fulham at home.
