He he, reaction got. Apologies. I was simply pointing out that bardsley's reaction may have had an alternative motive. Chill though, just my opinion.
nobody knows at the minute he has been charged but have to see if we appeal to the charges "Bardsley has until 6pm on Wednesday 14th September to respond to the charge."
It will be a straight red so will miss the next 3 games - I think Bart PS - why can't the BELLEND Mags just f*ck right off. TO$$ERS the lot o them.
3 game ban? That means Ricco at left-back for the next 3 games, **** sake man hes a forward player playing in defence. I like Richardson but it is Bruce's fault he will now be stuck in that position as we failed AGAIN to buy a left back.
As he isn't John Terry, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard or Alan Shearer (this is nowhere near as bad as Shearer kicking Lennon in the HEAD) etc. he will get a ban - The FA wouldn't touch any of those players. His foot (IMO) comes down too quickly to be completely accidental - although, as has been said above, worse has gone completely unpunished in the premier league for the bigger teams Could be 4 games as well as he has already been sent off this season for Coloccini rolling about like he'd been shot if you remember.

When it comes to the crunch (no pun intended), if Bardsley's challenge went unnoticed by the FA, he might start your next game thinking "Oh I got away with sticking my foot in Mata's kidneys, I'll carry on doing that", then end up putting some player, inevitably with a lot more talent than Phil himself, out of action for a long time. Now ask yourself this, should Nemanja Vidic get an automatic 3 match ban for bringing down Fernando Torres on his way towards the goal (hypothetically of course!) but Larsson get away scott-free for a deliberate handball on the line, or Cattermole (Stoke last season?)? Larsson prevents a goal, end of. Vidic prevents a goal scoring opportunity... why haven't the FA looked at that deliberate form of cheating? Because it is non-violent, even though it could have earned/saved a certain club enough points to survive in the division. Safety, along with respect is the only matters ever discussed at the FA, so don't be too surprised to see your players' actions dragged up after the dust settles so that the FA can pretend they're doing something right once in a while.
From my understanding, he will miss Stoke, Norwich and West Brom and possibly arsenal (4 match ban due to previous red card....)
Oh are you referring to the incident where you could almost see Colos leg bend due to the force of the tackle. Tell you what, il meet you on the pitch wel reenact and we will see whether you are getting up straight away or whether you start rolling about " like you've been shot "
But Coloccini never had to leave the pitch and never even needed the trainer - must have been such a bad tackle (I have broken my leg twice playing football - second time I walked away from it as it was just a little painful and I thought it was just a little bruise - I didn't roll about like I'd been shot and I can imagine it probably hurt a lot more than the challenge by Bardsley on Coloccini) Coloccini got up immediately after Bardsley got his second yellow - whilst it was a foul it was along the ground and accidental (unlike the stamp on mata - I'm certainly not defending this) only a fraction of a second late and Cabaye had already got away with much worse, over the top of the ball, earlier in the game.
What the hell is up with Bardsley lately? I never thought of him as a player to act like this, but in this season so far he's been the culprit in one red card, a few very rough bits of play and now this violent conduct stamp. Only been 4 bloody games.
When they showed the tackle in slow motion it is pretty obvious that it must have hurt Colo. Very often when you get kicked, the impact hurts like hell, but only for a short while and you can "run it off". The fact that Colo did not have a broken leg does not detract from the fact that you can see his leg bend with the severity of the impact. It was a ****ty tackle and I am amazed that you are even trying to defend it.
