Joey Barton's Punishment

KeyserSoze · 5th September 2008, 15:27

Newcastle's Joey Barton has been banned for six games, with another six suspended, by the Football Association for assaulting team-mate Ousmane Dabo.

Barton, 26, had previously admitted the charge of violent conduct and was fined £25,000 at the personal hearing.

In July, Barton received a four-month suspended prison sentence for the assault, which occurred in May 2007, when the pair were at Manchester City.

Former Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan, who quit on Thursday, faxed his support.

Since the training ground assault on Dabo, who now plays for Lazio, Barton has been jailed for a drunken attack on revellers in Liverpool city centre.

Barton was released from prison in July after serving 74 days of his sentence for attacking a teenager.

A statement from the independent regulatory commission Chairman Maurice Armstrong said: "Much has been written about Mr Barton over recent months.

"The regulatory commission had the benefit of taking all appropriate information into consideration.

"The commission members considered principally the serious attack by Mr Barton that clearly cannot be accepted.

"The members also had to take into consideration the sanctions imposed by the courts and the pro-active support Mr Barton has received from Newcastle United and other professional bodies.

"The commission members wanted to punish the offence appropriately but give Mr Barton an opportunity to ensure his professional conduct does not falter again and ensure he is fully aware of the consequences should he make another serious error of judgment."

twat of the highest order.

I would have had him put down - the only humane thing to do in his case

Ole_Gunnar · 5th September 2008, 15:36

To be fair I'm not sure how what Eric did to the idiot in the stand is all that different to what Bartons' been doing on and off the pitch. I'm not sure that six games is fair...

x42bn6 · 5th September 2008, 15:37

No punishment will satisfy everyone. Except a life-ban, but then I'd then wonder what Barton would do with his life...

moonhead · 5th September 2008, 15:57

They should put him and his brother in a cell with a pick-axe and see who emerges alive...

Raven_Blade · 5th September 2008, 16:01

Maybe he should retire from football early?

Tumbling-Dice · 5th September 2008, 16:02

Cantona gets 9 months, Barton gets 6 matches. Hmmm.

Wes · 5th September 2008, 16:07

suspenda the sentence?

where's Don Corlene when you need him?

noodlehair · 5th September 2008, 16:08

Funny that football is a poofs game compared to Rugby, yet if you commited the same offence on a Rugby pitch, or training ground, you'd go to jail, be put on report, and be lucky if you're allowed to play again.

Dicipline rules in football are so fecking backwards it's unreal.

Well, he has been punished for training ground accident. Assault at training ground is a bit different from an assault that occurs during the game.

plus the two offences cant even be compared in severity - Barton knocked his own team mate unconcious and then continued to batter him while he lay on the ground

We always get screwed over when punishments are dished out - I remember Rio got worse punishment than other players that had actually failed drugs tests

He's right though. It is a bit different, because Cantona didn't punch the guy up when he wasn't conscious...

Marching · 5th September 2008, 16:26

Barton's next court appearence? What do you get for driving in a no car lane?

Dr. Dwayne · 5th September 2008, 16:32

Damn right.

I'd be happy for newspapers to print that his shit stinks and he has a small dick if it meant he were permanently banned from the football pitch.

Fergies Formula · 5th September 2008, 16:42

he also put a cigar out in a ressys eye

Tibs · 5th September 2008, 16:49

He should be in jail!!

duffer · 5th September 2008, 16:51

Didn't Barton just get out of prison for this?

He got into prison for assault in public in Liverpool.

This is the Ousmane Dabo case.

No, he was in prison because he drunkenly beat the living shit out of someone outside a nightclub in Liverpool.

This is for when he battered his teammate into unconsciousness on the training ground.

Sultan · 5th September 2008, 17:03

Disgrace!

A season away from football would have been the correct punishment.

You get a three match ban for sweet nothings on occasions.

ecantona7 · 5th September 2008, 17:07

6 matches is a joke. This is the equivalent of 2 red cards.

Are they going to charge the guy who took the picture as well?

Six games is a joke though.
