Christmas Tree 4457 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 he was crap last night like. back to the old barton I thought his set pieces were generally poor but he had a canny game. It's hard when your chasing a match after 2 mins against a 10 man defence so a lot of his first half work was a bit rushed by trying to force things but he was comfortably our best midfielder for me. His game is also the sort of game that looks worse if others in the team are having such an off night as they did last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7122 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I'm not that atsed tbh. I don't think it's necessarily evidence that he's back to his old self. It was just an incident in a football match. I bet he's regretting it more than anyone today. Lets not go daft about it eh. This. Had it been any other player, there wouldn't have been half the fuss. I think the point is that it wouldn't be any other player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit one dimensional (good footballer but not pacy or powerful) and so are the team. If the majority aren't on top of their game we lack the spark to unlock sides, especially at home.

Guest alex Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I find it nauseating how people like Lee Dixon make it out to be a disgrace yet defend some of the horrendous tackles you see as 'part and parcel' of the game. They're far worse imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41354 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It's ok to elbow and forearm smash the fuck out of Carroll without even a comment from the media, but Barton puts a tickler on Pederson and it's an outrage. It's fucking bollocks is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4266 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 As I've said before, if I had access to Sky's video archive and a few days, I reckon I could expose the shit that players like Rooney, Gerrard and most recently Fabregas get away with without a word on a regular basis. It's not even just Barton - Babayaro got done a couple of times for off the ball things which I don't mind as long as everyone faces the same sanctions. I'd put last night down to him being wound up by facing Allardyce - though I accept he still has a "dark side" under the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what boils my piss. It'll be interesting at the end of the season to tally up the injuries caused to other players by De Jong, that cunt from Stoke, and Barton. I'm willing to bet Barton will be bottom of the list. Then cross reference it to FA fines. What Barton did last night was cretinous, I'm not defending that in the least. But for fucks sake, if he gets a retro red fir it I'll be volcanic. De Jong didn't even get yellow for snapping Hatem in half did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21324 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 it's obvious he's going to get a ban like. you can't punch people in the ribs during a match in front of all those cameras and expect to get away with it. shame really as barton has been in good form this season and we haven't seen that side to his game for a while.

They're far worse imo. Does my head in the way they defend the leg breaking tackles which this season are happening several times a week, yet bang on about stuff like this. What Barton did was stupid and petulent, he deserved a red and a ban but it won't hurt or injure anyone and anybody but a footballer wouldn't even flinch at it, i'd imagine most people have jokingly hit their mates harder than that.

David Kelly 1205 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Was a stupid thing to do and he will rightly get banned. But's that's all there is too it. It wasn't dangerous and it couldn't have injured anyone (let alone killed them!) but it's going to leave us without a player who's been one of our best so far for three games which is annoying. Get it over with and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6279 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I dont know what set him off but after Karl Henry tried to maim him without a flinch, I thought he had turned the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Karl Henry situation was different. Very physical and the referee was relatively on top of it (okay he didn't send him off like he should've but we were given quite a few decisions) whereas this looks like Pedersen said something and Barton acted like an arse.

shackbleep 0 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Lee Ryder reckons it's a storm in a teacup. I've seen worse in the reduced aisle in Tesco than Barton v Pedersen Don't agree with him - had it been the other way around I reckon he'd have been going off on one.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Daft to suggest it was nowt. He gave him a vicious dig. I can't see how Pederson said anything, with Barton jogging past like that. Could only have been reacting to the light brush he gave him....which is fucking mental really.
