Ashley17 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The persistent "if I did that at work" argument really doesn't make any sense. Clearly different jobs have different standards and footballers don't play by the same rules as the rest of us. He's the manager. The very hierarchy that exist in work mean that a manager has more power and would therefore get a more severe punishment for an indescretion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 There's a big difference in the manager doing it and a player doing it. Hence why this is the 1st time I've known/seen it to happen in the professional part of the English game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think the fine is fair and the FA ban will ultimately probably be fair. Should stop him behaving like a teenager in future games. At the same time it's still been massively over exaggerated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't mean a player shouldn't be punished for his actions and made accountable though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Anyone who thinks he should be sacked PURELY for this incident is a fucking moron. I would add anyone who thinks he should be sacked is including their personal feelings over his management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Shouldn't Remy also have been sacked then? He probably should have but that was never going to happen and we might even have a contract without clauses in it because of it being a loan. Fair play if you're consistent with it. Personally I don't really think it's doable because people would be getting sacked all the time, Guthrie for booting Fagan and Shearer for kicking the shit out of Lennon's face are two more that spring to mind. I'd be happy if the club had used it as a reason to bin him but it's a mountain out of a molehill in my opinion. If Bruce for instance had done it I would have found it significantly more funny than outrageous. http://i.imgur.com/qEKVMeb.gif 'Pushed him with my head marra' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtained Wasp Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Find it funny that Pardew gets an entire segment of ranting dedicated to him while when Shelvey did the exact same to Debuchy not a word was uttered. Not to mention Shelvey wasn't even booked if memory serves. Not defending him btw, he deserves any punishment that comes his way purely for being a slimeball bellend. But the ott reaction and double standard of similar incidents is bordering on idiotic. A manager headbutting a player is light years away from 2 players going at it. Being unable to see this is well across the border into idiotic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Didn't Pulis once attack one of his own players in the changing room? Not to mention the Laws/Bonetti incident. Fair enough these were behind closed doors, but bloody hell. All the outrage over this strikes me as a bit pathetic really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It was stupid, brainless and unnecessary but anyone who considers that a head butt (assuming that's what used to be called a nut) has led a fairly sheltered life. Football coverage does tend to be a bit hysterical when it comes to pushing and shoving incidents nowadays, but Savage and the BBC are taking it to new levels of silliness.

mickthemagpie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Reserve team manager gets sacked for less, Pardew gets £100k fine! Extenuating circumstances i suppose, the cunt was a Mackem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is bred on hype. In my defence I'm both hungover and drunk, it's hard to speak in anything more creative than cliches! It's probably why I tend to ignore the media to be honest. I watched MOTD this week, normally I've got it video'd and skip through all analysis and interviews. Load of old shite, apart from the action itself.

Curtained Wasp Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It's not about how s*** his headbutt was FFS. It's about the action and the intent behind it when countenanced against his role in society. It's utterly unacceptable and all derision is completely justified. Alan Pardew is an idiot and not fit to be manager of Newcastle United, but we've known that for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
