Just the FA from memory , but did the FA not just endorse the ban that United themselves gave Eric or did they make it longer.FFS, Cantona got nine months for striking a fan in a one-off incident. But was that entirely the FA or did UEFA/FIFA get involved too?
Muscat was a coward a pretend hardman always trying to "Do" people from side on and behind with his two footed tackles! He was not a tough guy IMO!Would love to have seen Kevin Muscat up against Barton
Agree with that. Hard men wouldn't be seen dead doing some of the things he's done. He's just a cowardly thug using his profession to get away with doing things that would get him a hiding if he tried it in real life.Muscat was a coward a pretend hardman always trying to "Do" people from side on and behind with his two footed tackles!

Terry>Suarez>Tevez>Barton on the cuntishness scaleA third of a season.A very adequate ban to the biggest cnut in English football
I think QPR should sack him. He's an absolute liability and any club that takes him on is foolish. He's a dressing room destroyer.A third of a season.A very adequate ban to the biggest cnut in English football
Would they not have to pay out his contract if they sold him?! It'd be one hell of a financial hit! No idea whether they could find him in breach of his contract being banned for so longI think QPR should sack him. He's an absolute liability and any club that takes him on is foolish. He's a dressing room destroyer.
Exactly! He's got the club over a barrel unless they can sue him for breach of contract and terminate it without paying his potential earningsYeah, he's on something like £70k p/w and has at least a couple of years left, so you'd be looking at something like £8m to pay him off as he hasn't done enough to be sacked without compensation.
The clubs that agree to ridiculous contracts that seem to be to the advantage of the player need looking at...surely Barton has done enough to lose his very lucrative contract.Would they not have to pay out his contract if they sold him?!

Not enough? he pretty much did the same thing John Terry did to Sanchez.12 games not enough imo
The thug should be kicked out of Football
Yep. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for any club that decides to sign him though, much less hand him the armband.Yeah, he's on something like £70k p/w and has at least a couple of years left, so you'd be looking at something like £8m to pay him off as he hasn't done enough to be sacked without compensation.
Violent conduct sending off - 3 matchesNot enough? he pretty much did the same thing John Terry did to Sanchez.
12 games is plenty.
Made it longer, United banned Eric for 6 monthsJust the FA from memory , but did the FA not just endorse the ban that United themselves gave Eric or did they make it longer.
Don't remember any violent conduct on KompanyViolent conduct sending off - 3 matches
Second ban of the season - 1 match
Violent conduct on Aguero - 4 matches
Violent conduct on Company - 4 matches
I think you have to look at the individual concernedNot enough? he pretty much did the same thing John Terry did to Sanchez.
12 games is plenty.
That would be unfair though.I think you have to look at the individual concerned
But how many times have we heard the same record with Barton "I've changed my ways, I'm a better man"That would be unfair though.
I think a 12 game ban for what he did is hefty and if that doesn't teach him a lesson, nothing will.
He nodded in his direction, but missed.Don't remember any violent conduct on Kompany
No, he's no angel, but don't compare his wrongdoings at the Etihad to Eric's kung-fu kick on a supporter.Eric got a 8 month ban (yes he did wrong) but Barton's no angel is he.
Seems reasonable to me."Barton accepted the charge of violent conduct against Aguero but denied the second breach of violent conduct against Kompany. The independent regulatory commission, however, found this second charge proved.
"Barton is already serving a four-match suspension for his dismissal in the match, which consists of three matches for violent conduct plus one match as this was the player's second dismissal of the season.
"The two further breaches for violent conduct ordered he be suspended for eight matches to run consecutively to the four matches, taking the total suspension to 12 matches."
Cheers I could not remmeberMade it longer, United banned Eric for 6 months
It looked like he tryied to head butt him , but it looked more like a nod towards him.Don't remember any violent conduct on Kompany
A contract works both ways. Their job is to manage so you can't sack 'em without paying up if they've done that even the results are poor.It's the same when a shit manager gets sacked...why the feck should the club have to pay them for the remaining years of their contract.
