Hughesy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Still can't work why some people think what Meyler did was acceptable. MOTD were talking as if there was no provocation at all. It doesn't excuse what Pardew did but Meyler's conduct was in itself appalling. What he did wasn't ok, but Pardew instigated by putting himself infront of Meyler, what was he expecting. End of the day his team was up 3-1 and he headshoved a player. He's a manager, he's supposed to manage his squad not act like a spoiled brat. Well no - Pardew didn't move into the line of the ball. He just didn't get out of the way. That doesn't give Meyler the right to push Pardew out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Meyler needed to push Pardew out of the way as he was standing there like a melon, but there was no need to do so as aggressively as he did. He's a fucking prick an all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both, Pardew should have got out of the way and Meyler shouldn't have pushed him. The technical area isn't to allow managers to get in the way of the game, it's to allow them to give instructions only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Meyler's always been a complete arsehole but funnily enough there's only one manager who has seen fit to headbutt him. Just our sheer bad luck that it was our whiter than white manager who would never otherwise act like a complete cunt on the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just goes to show how much certain people will defend the bloke. He can literally do anything and be in the right. Who has defended him? Errr... No, seen it many times. It was fuck all. Can't believe anyone thinks otherwise. Fuck me, never hire me as your defence solicitor - Obviously these players (and our moronic manager) should know better but it still seems so pathetic. Pardew deserves all he gets because he knows the rules It was a very stupid thing to do As I said, what Pardew did was wrong and very stupid in the same way Remy was We all know a player or manager just can't do that so deserve the consequences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 No one is excusing Meyler, he rightly got a yellow card for his push, but he was provoked by Pardew being an ass and blocking the ball when they were 3-1 down. Still that's no excuse for Pardew to go full radge! Headbutt or headpush doesn't matter it was with intent and aggression, why do people not get that? No ones saying he assaulted him or full on tried to wipe him out head first, it was the action and intent behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just goes to show how much certain people will defend the bloke. He can literally do anything and be in the right. Has anyone said what he did was right? Probably not but plenty are playing it down and making it look as if we're being picked on for no reason. Exactly. If it was just a one off heat of the moment thing maybe you could excuse it, but how many times has he been in front of the tv cameras within the last few months offering grovelling apologies for his disgraceful behaviour? The bloke is a liability and even his fans in the media seem to be running out of patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Bloke is a fucking idiot to do what he did...whatever the fuck it was. I don't want someone managing my club who is going to do that, particularly when it follows abject cup failure, successive derby day degradation and ineffective coaching. Whether it was a headbutt in the Glasgow kiss sense doesn't really matter. It's indefensible. He knows the sensationalist nature of the media and yet seems all too happy to do shite like that; whatever his grovelling afterward. Sick of the fucking circus that surrounds him and his bullshit ego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm surprised to learn that Ian thinks there has been an overreaction to the Pardew headbutt incident. Thankfully he posted his opinion - otherwise I might never have known. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Perfectly normal for a manager to try and headbutt an opposition player. See it week in, week out, can't understand why people are even discussing it as an issue. He's been given a formal warning and a £100,000 fine so it's clearly not a big deal at all.

I have said he is in the wrong. 2. I am only questioning the ridiculous reaction to the incident. A player shouldn't do it, a manager definitely shouldn't do it but some (especially the media) are acting like Pardew has broken Meyler's nose. He did the pathetic "I'm going to headbutt you" gesture which I never understand because they don't actually headbutt the player but get the same punishment they would if they had. Just to clarify (again), Pardew is in the wrong but common sense would have been the whole thing sorted out with the ref/4th official saying "Come on lads, stop being dickheads!" and it would have been done and dusted without the hysteria.
