The FA are a disgrace!!

[taarabt7]

They ban Barton for 12 games for kicking Aguero and hitting Tevez, but Luis Suarez was only banned for 8 games for racially abusing Patrice Evra. They make me sick

[mork]

Terry gets to lift champ league trouphy even though he kicked someone in the back in the semi.

I think you'll find Barton has been done for three separate offences , all violent conduct, where as Suarez was just 1 offence and he pleaded guilty straight away..

Walked off ok though didn't he?

The F.A

Yet again they demonstrate their inept behaviour.

It seems for every idiot footballer out there (whether they are indulging in diving, racisim, violence) that there is another one working for the F.A and that they all see to want to throw the rule book at Q.P.R

They tried it with the Faurlin incident, they are backwards in terms of goal-line technology and seem to condone diving as an integral part of the game.

I for one do not support Joey's actions, even though they were a retaliation (where is Tevez's punishment for instigating the incident). He took the bate and wasn't too clever at doing it discretely. How we have linesman that can spot that and cannot see Clint Hill's goal I'll never know, but there you go.

I hate thugs like the next civilised person and Joey can be that at times, but that is not who he is. He is guilty of just saying what he thinks and doing what he thinks as well. Wouldn't we all like to do it. Trouble is most don't have the plum tomatoes to do it.

QPR do not fire Joey. The loan idea touted sounds like a good idea.

[winalotto]

Like i said Barton has been done for three offences thats why its 12 games

[taarabt7]

Barton didn't even headbutt Kompany, but knowing the FA, they would of said that the 'intent' was there. How pathetic! If this was John Terry, they would ban him for maybe 4 or 5 games maximum

[Shania]

It´s a scandal really!!

[Will M]

Barton bought it on himself.

Having said that, the FA are hypocrites after getting Rooney's ban at the Euros reduced. FFS what Rooney did was way worse than Joey's lovetaps.

I'm also pretty bemused Tevez has somehow escaped unscathed. Poison dwarf abandoned his team for half a season. Yet all is forgiven?

[silvercue]

Sorry - but Joey has lots of previous, more than anyone I can think of - including assualting fellow players and team mates, is warned weekly about his outbursts on Twitter and has been condemned by every part of the UK (and other countries) media..... he is a thug, an idiot and an embarrassment.

I would like to see him way out of the club - he performed like he couldn't give a t0ss until he got booed off (don't give me Wolves away) - which reinforces the idea he wasn't putting a shift in before that.

surely physical violence is on a par or worse than racist comments?

Were you like me brought up with the sticks and stones saying ?
I think physical violence should be worse

[QPRWEBBIE]

hopefully the courts will see the standard set by the FA and will throw the book at Terry
