I never said he was the devil. He's a petulant child and would deserve a sacking, if football wasn't, rather absurdly, a law unto itself (actually proven re-John Terry).
And yes, SAF should have been facing much greater sanctions than he did... How hard is it to grasp?! I don't think it has any place in sport, and should not be treated with a childish or passive attitude... A manager striking, aggressively/attacking/ pushing/ threatening a ref/player/another manager/a fan should be given severe sanctions, especially for repeat offences, which makes your whole "heat of the moment" thing bullknackers.
Sir Bob did not head-twerk him, did he? No.
If the straw I'm clutching at is asking for the manager of Newcastle United to have some respectability, professionalism, and not be facing FA sanctions every few matches, then what the hell analogy may we use for you defending him?
He deserves a ban and a fine, same as a player would get. Maybe a little bit more financially given he is the manager. Basically he should be treat in line with common practice in football. Stop getting your knickers in a twist over minor incidents. We won 4-1. The tactical genius behind it is a bit of rascal, everyone loves a rascal don't they?
