Fop 1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 “Alan said he wasn’t, called him shit and Joey replied that he was a shit manager with shit tactics. Pretty hard to argue against that at this minute in time tbh Ferguson's record was nearly as bad in his first 5 games in charge at ManUre, easier games too.

Craig 6307 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was sat in the Main Stand just above where our fans were and it was absolutely clear cut even from where I was that he should have been sent off. What the TV didn't show was how far and with what determination he ran towards Alonso. He'd been having a spat with him all game - was pretty obvious to me that something like this was going to happen. Sad thing was, up until that point he was probably our best player. I don't see how that's a reason to send somebody off. Then again I suppose it is if you're Joey Barton. His aim was never for the ball - it was a fucking awful tackle and IMO, totally indefensible. He quite clearly got the ball though. Not surprising seeing as he took the whole of Alonso too. It's one of the most blatent red cards I've ever seen.

It was a two footed lunge though (not to be confused with a two foot clunge). Its just a real shame for everyone, he is our best midfielder by a mile.

Guest alex Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Was it any worse than Smith's tackle in the same game? Not saying it wasn't dangerous but you see stuff just as bad result in a yellow all the time. The ref couldn't wait to send him off, mainly on his rep imo. As I said earlier though he should have got the ball and the man one-footed and, therefore, 'legally'. Edited May 5, 2009 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second glance it was clumsy. The only person responsible for his reputation is Barton himself. As you allude to, had he gone in with one foot he'd probably have got away with it but IMO he went in with the intent to do exactly what he did. Referee had no option.

IMO he did have an option but due to the fact it was Joey Barton he sent him off. I like how it's also been overlooked about Alonso's little drama on the stretcher too. Although we're both never going to agree on this so I'll leave it as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Agreed about Alonso like.. pretty certain he'd have got off the stretcher and walked up the steps in the tunnel. Biggest disappointment is that Alonso was probably 'primed' to wind Barton up - and he fell for it. If, as Shearer alluded to, he was told to keep his nose clean then he's a bigger idiot than he's given credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Onion 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Effectively confirms the stories about a spat. Bad enough he gets himself sent off but then he decides to turn on Shearer instead of taking his bollocking. Prick. And once again another negative story involving us will be all over the media. This club man, and what a shambles of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was reminded about something I saw last Monday night. I was in the ground early and watching the team warming up. The players were dong their usual 'one-touch keep ball' and Barton had a rush of blood going to challenge Martins. Could easily have ended up getting Martins injured and the Nigerian was far from happy. In a fucking warm up ffs!!!!! What a complete and utter tit.

Craig 6307 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The club that gave him a chance two years ago to put his troubled past behind him and move on. The club that stood by him despite him getting pissed up in the middle of his home town and beating some kid shitless. The club that kept him on the books despite him doing time in prison. The club that offered him the opportunity to be seen as the saviour of the season. He's chucked it all back in their faces - no wonder they've had enough. As BO says, the sending off is bad. The spat with Shearer and obvious squealing to the tabloids in inexcusible. Enjoy playing for Cardiff, won't you Joey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N17 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 In fairness, I don't think the tackle was malicious. The look on his face told a very big story. He looked totally gutted that he let the fans down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
