Joey Barton Ban

[stripeyshark]

So, Joey Barton get's a 12-match ban for his antics at Manchester City.
A bit harsh?

On a more positive note, he'll be out till November so he should be fully available for the Olympics squad...

Feel free to add any videos or pics of the incident or any other "worse" incidents!

I think 12 matches is very harsh!

Cantona should have been knighted and give the freedom of Croydon!

Also, is he just banned from Premier League action, leaving the door open for us to sign him on loan in the Football League?...

I don't think anyone would have expected it to be more than this. 8-12 games seems about right. I was hoping he wouldn't have a team to be banned playing for, but never mind. Vile scum.

I do think it is very harsh. I like Barton, he is a loose cannon but i would still have him

 

[GYM]

3-4 matches for each offence then. Lol sounds about right!

 

[bigcabboy]

Exactly. And his defence for the second two were that he tried to get a City player sent off. Not so f***ing clever now eh Joey.

Does that include the 4 match ban for the straight red, or is it just for the kick and headbutt?

Re Cantona
From memory didn't Utd try to get ahead of the system, by internally banning him for 10, thinking the FA would say ok, fair enough.

Instead the FA said, you're not making us look toothless, and slapped a further X games, on top.

The whole thing put together: the Tevez elbow, the Aguero kick and the Kompany headbutt.

It includes it.
