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.

"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.

 

:lol: :thup:

 

Deary me.

Spot on basically. 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.

Bollocks is it spot on, we'll never get more passionate managers than Keegan and Sir Bobby, neither got involved in the shit that Pardew does.  What happens in other sports is again total bollocks, people die in boxing, does that mean people getting killed in football is acceptable?  Does is shite.

 

Pardew has acted like a twat and deserves everything coming at him.  I'll also be happy to see the same punishment dished out to players.  Why should anybody be allowed to bring shame on our club?  More importantly, why are so called fans defending the first manager in Premiership football to stick his head on an opposition player and drag the name of our club through mud?

Come on man it's too late and too pointless to be bemoaning about shame on our club.  We are talking about a club owned by Mike Ashley for pity sake.

 

I don't say it with a badge of honour, I haven't felt this apathetic about this club ever.  Struggling to give a s*** any more.  Just not bothered.

Hopefully we'll smash a few teams with 4 or 5 goals and it will prove that we perform better the further away we are from him.

 

More likely we'll lose every game and it will make it look like we're missing a tactical genius during the 90 mins.  :undecided:

Also, if you believe that TSF is Dave Kitson then in his second book there is a fair bit about Pardew. An interesting bit is about the manager crying as he was leaving a club for another club (the assumption is when Pardew moved to West Ham) in front of the players who thought he was a fake.

The man that gouged someones eye on the touchlines is ofcourse going to defend the man that rubbed his forehead on someone.

 

:lol: This is essentially what everyone is getting worked up about, A man rubbing his forehead on someone. I like the wording.

 

People were already worked up about him being a cunt.  This rubbing simply gave them further opportunity to express themselves.

Someone mentioned earlier that if roles were reversed and Meyler headbutted Pardew the fuss wouldn't be as bad! I don't agree on that, I think, fans, media and pundits would find it totally unacceptable and worse than a player on player incident, I think people would be calling for the ban to go beyond "normal" standards.

Yip it would be an opportunity to use the classic phrase sine die

I meant if Pardew pushed Meyler as hard, if Meyler head brushed him first. Would Pardew still looking at a stadium ban for retaliation and being a manager. Was it the way he retaliated or was it the fact that he is a manager and retaliated.

Still can't help but laugh nutted, headbutted, violence etc.. comments. Sorry but its like reading The Sun :lol:

 

But seriously this isn't a laughing matter, I hope Meyler makes a quick and full recovery.

I'm sorry, even though there was the minimal amount of contact he still went in with his head, so it's still a headbut. It's more of the intent that people are in uproar about, just because there was minimal contact doesn't mean it's not wrong. It's like say if you shoot someone and the bullet misses, then that's ok.

It is all a bit hilarious like. I laugh every time it's shown on TV, more for the fact that I still can't believe he actually did it. Ridiculous man.

 

Pushing someone is assault isn't it? I don't remember assault being screamed at Meyler.

 

It is just over the top to me. If you want to be anal then yes he did nut/headbutt him but really we all know it was a nudge with his head and if you had heard about it before seeing it you would be expecting something a lot worse.

 

I am quite looking forward for the thread to be updated saying he will be banned for the rest of the season, I even have pointless hope that it will be updated saying he has been fired. I just wish we still had a Sunderland match left this season because we might have stood a chance.
