Band for 6 matches with six suspended, Kevin Keegan faxed his support http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/7599647.stm Though it should have been 12 Link to comment
I Dream of Electric Sheep Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If you conceder Eric Cantona got band from football for 9 months for his kung fu style attack. Barton six games, with another six suspended seems a bit light weight. Personally I think Barton should conceder himself extremely lucky to only have to serve a 6 mach ban. Link to comment
sheep_shagger Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 There are many ways to look at the punishment. It may appear to be light but because it happened behind closed doors at training it is first and foremost a club matter. The club punished him. Secondly it is a police matter if Dabo pressed charges. He did and Barton was punished. Only after all that is it possibly an FA matter so i think the punishment in this case is justified and common sense has prevailed. If something like this had happened on the pitch infront of thousands of people and possibly a tv audience, the punishment from the police and the FA would have been significantly greater. Hopefully this is the last we see of Barton in this light but unfortunately i think it wont be long before he is back in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment

minijc Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Bit harsh, hopefully he learns his lesson though and comes back a stronger and better player. Link to comment
