When will he learn to just keep quiet?

His comments before the appeal probably helped sway the panel into upholding the ban and now he's going off on one again giving the FA more reason to extend his ban further.

On the upside it will give him a bit more free time to spend with his new son. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Quite agree. If he suggests that he wants to sue the a ref who makes a bad decision the authorities are hardly likely to give him ammunition by overturning the ref's decision in this case!! He just can't keep his mouth shut can he. A bit like Warnock really. I must admit that I quite like the bloke and agree with a lot of what he says such as refs being useless and big clubs and players get all the decisions given their way. As Poll said you can't send off good old Lamps can you. Unfortunately when Warnock goes into detail he opens his mouth before putting his brain in gear. Johnson went to ground - no he didn't!! Joey wouldn't have reacted that way - he already had against Arsenal!! Joey is targeted by refs because of his reputation - that is why other clubs have got rid of him so remind us Neil which numpty brought him to QPR? I really think that this time Barton and Warnock have talked themselves into a lot of trouble although the authorities will probably also have a go at Johnson over that stupid photograph.
 
Can someone tell me what Johnson does after the incident? Does he appeal to the ref? Holt talks to the ref (don't know what about) and Bennett saw the incident appealing to the ref then tackled Barton.
 
Wasn't Barton involved in an incident when he was at Newcastle last season and he got an Arsenal player sent off who should not have been sent off? The words Kettle, pot and black spring to mind. As for acting lessons, he acts like an idiot anyway so doesn't need any lessons, and the only "Con" is Joey himself as he's spent time behind bars

Johnson doesn't even appeal, he keeps playing. Holt, like me, clearly assumed that the ref was going to yellow card Bennett for the tackle (which he probably should have done). Then the ref marches over to Barton for the red
 
I think Johnson's reaction is key to what happened. If he did cheat, and intended to he would be one of the first to complain to the ref.
