KaKa Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mourinho loves Pards: http://www.cleansheetsallround.co.uk/15794/mourinho-spoke-alan-pardew-headbutt? Wasn't exactly friendly when we were in for Lukaku (if you believe Parnocchiodew). He doesn't rate him, and so didn't want to send an asset of his to work under him.

BottledDog Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 "I have watched from Canada with bemusement the hand-wringing over Alan Pardew's Glasgow handshake. No matter what the hacks at Big Paper claim, Meyler did not 'brush past' Pardew, but pushed him. If this were an ice hockey game, Pardew's response would be considered mandatory. As we raised his name on a banner to the rafters, he would be quickly making a line change [it's a substitution - Fiver Ed] to put a gentleman, defined as the 'enforcer', on the ice to further explain to Mr Meyler that the next time he should find a more polite way to approach the head coach. Ahhhh … finally got that off my chest. Howay the Lads. Hats off to you, Pards" - Allan Barless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Same in Rugby basically. Shaking hands with someone 5 minutes after punching them in the face. It's rare in football I grant you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well football is a strange sport, on the one hand any sort of physical contact or aggression is treated like this, and on the other it's the only sport where players are allowed to eff and jeff at the officials every 5 seconds, i've even seen players touching them, pulling their arms etc. It is a silly game.

oldtype Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 On the opposite end of the spectrum there's NBA basketball, where you could be sent off for swearing. Imagine every player who screams "fuck off!" at the official getting a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Let's bring violence into football because it happens in other sports, Muppets. This is not what I'm saying. I mean that a little bit of perspective about what can happen in heated circumstances between sportspeople can be useful. Ironically football has managed the worst of both worlds... total absence of respect, quite a lot of cheating and a massive overreaction to physical confrontations.

A couple of online papers I have read have photos in order of how the incident unfolded, for those that didn`t see it. Thing is they start the photos with Pardew randomly head rubbing Meyler, no photo of Meyler pushing/winding a 52yr old man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Meyler has definitely got off lightly, although Pardew's eventual action was obviously worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he feels that if he doesn't add that caveat he'll be lynched Honestly Ian you should just stay out of this thread.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nah, I do think Pardew's reaction was worse, more aggressive or whatever. Just not worth the incredible outrage. I'm well past the point of expecting to persuade anyone oldtype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's worse because Meyler pushed Pardew out of his way as he was standing in his path as he hurtled towards him with speed, where as Pardew headbutted him, or rubbed his forehead on him (the fucking creep). Meyler's push was unnecessarily aggressive, because he's a daft cunt, but at the very worst it's a yellow card offense on and off the pitch. Pardew's was obvious violent misconduct.

I wonder if it was the other way round, Meyler rubs Pardew`s sweaty brow for him and Pardew pushes him back a few steps, would there be the same outrage. Is the outrage the action or the fact he got involved ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If Pardew pushed Meyler and Meyler headbutted Pardew there would be nowhere near the amount of outrage, I'd imagine not anyway Meyler would get a minumum 3 match ban and Pardew would get a few game's touchline ban at worst I'd imagine. He didn't push him though, he walked up and headbutted him/looked at him funny/whatever you going to play it down as next. EDIT: Outrage aimed at Pardew anyway, I think Meyler would get slated.

STM Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I dont get the whole, "if I did that at work, I would get sacked" line. Not because it isnt true, of course it is but because footballers do it all the time, rugby and ice hockey players do much worse to each other. Or is it because he is a manager, that its worse? If so why? They are both involved in a sport, they are both adults, both fully involved in the passion of the game. So why is it that a player gets a slap on the wrist for such behaviour yet a manager should be sacked? Its bullshit if you ask me. Also if Pardew gets a lengthy ban, so should any player who does the same thing. He'll get 8 or something where as a player would get 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a manager should know better, but then so should a player. Usually head-on-head aggro is ignored unless someone raises a hand or one party hurls themselves to the floor dramatically.
