Rubbish. You keep telling yourself that it won't make it true! Have you seen what Barton did today? Clear red card. Absolutely pathetic! Again, you're talking rubbish. Replays clearly show he elbowed Tevez in the face. Also, just because he got elbowed in the face doesn't mean he can't take the freekick.
He swings the elbow but I don't think any of the angles ive seen are conclusive as to exactly where or how much contact was made. Certainly no lasting damage and they barely mentioned tevez left hook!
Just seen it on MOTD. Whatever that twat Tevez did, Barton was vicious and cowardly with the elbow and kick on Aguerro. The look on his face was pure ugly malevolence. Ashamed he plays for us, hopefully never again. Flyer, you are entitled to your opinion, but I'd like to see your response if an opposing player behaved like that.
Barton should have been sent off and i hope we get rid asap! And Cerny you keep digging your hole deeper and deeper. You really are a vile piece of scum! Can you possibly explain how in any way he has evened things up with getting sent off??!! Please explain that i dare you to! Won't be surprised if you can't give a sensible and logical explanation. WUM !!
It is beyond clear that Barron moved his head towards Johnsons also what he did before that to Whitbred was stupid.
Ive got it freeze framed in HD, its nowhere near his head. At worst its the top of the chest where the v neck of the shirt is.
And are you saying that it would only count as an offence if Tevez had been pole-axed or had ended up with 17 stitches? Intent counts for a lot. Play acting aside it was a red card every day of the week.
His behaviour was bad but wed all say he was clever if he got one of their sent off. I dont like him and dont want him playing for us but i think hes been hard done by and got red cards purely on his reputation, especially the norwich one where there was literally nothing in it. zero movement at all.
Ooookay then. Even if you're right about that, and you're not, does an elbow to the chest merit a red card?
No, theres different levels. You want things in black and white. Would you give a red card for any arm to face contact from the arm when going for headers? By the letter of the law they could all be red cards.
Both players went head to head and your player fell away clutching it like hed been nutted. An embarrassing acting job.
