Didnt Barton get a 12game ban for kicking?
A child biting another at school, I mean it was totally unheard of before this Monday. However, if we are going to blame footballers for the ills of society, I'm waiting on players being sent off the moment they start mouthing and verbally abusing refs, ala Rooney. As far as I'm concerned the F.A. are not fit to govern the game, they are inconsistent in the extreme (Defoe/Suarez, appealing when Rooney kicked out at a player) and it smacks to me of punishing the man rather than the player.

You think that is not linked?
