I agree with all that............but Tevez is a cheating, diving little ****er!! It was the injustice of it all that sent Barton over the edge, although it was completely unforgivable to lose it like that!!
I have said it from day one Barton is a very very poor player and showed his real self Couldn't be better he exposed himself to millions and we still stayed up
Whatever the reason......WHATEVER.....he was our captain, it was the most important game of most of his colleagues careers and for the club in recent years, and his behaviour was simply unforgivable.
Whatever happened between Barton and Tevez pales into insignificance when Barton followed up kicking one player and head butting another .He should have been banned from soccer years ago he is just a complete and utter headcase!!
Chill out peeps, we've stayed up. Let the dust settle and Hughes will make whatever decision he feels is best.
no truth it was just JB going for 2nd red filmed against him this season. I completely understand his reaction
Just checking, but can the FA dock points for repeated indiscipline? The day has gone too well (Barton aside) and I'm just waiting for a reality check. It was a typical contrast between Barton who uses his competitiveness and commitment in the wrong way to Mackie, who has the same assets but uses them so positively, scoring.
Badly allowed himself to show how I'll disciplined he can be! Tevez is a nasty piece of work, and a big shame to see him get a medal this season!!
Well I'm happy to say Mackie was voted by me as player of the year and his goal justifies it for me but let's get rid of Barton immediately what he done today there is no excuse even though cameras prove Tervez did strike st
The knee into Aguero after the red card, must surely have been an act bringing our club into disrepute. Question is whether that's punishable by an internal fine or termination of contract. Personally, I'm sorry Barton has this side to him, but he's proved to me that he can't control himself, and he'll be a continuing liability particularly when the chips are down and he and the team are under pressure ie we can't rely on him when we need him most
Agree with the above, he is not captain material, he does not lead by example, he is not capable of this. HE MUST GO.
Barton has let everyone at the club down and taken the gloss of an amazing match. Couldn't believe that he kicked out after being sent off. It could have so much different, but thankfully it isn't.
