I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong, but both the linesman and the ref didn't see him do anything wrong and sent him off for the wrong reasons imoBarcon said:pudge said:The ref didn't blow for any fouls at any point, he was even looking in the direction of the 'headbutt' and didn't see anything to merit a whistle, i think Bradley Johnson's acting got Joey Barton sent off.Barcon said:Maybe he didn't get the red for the head (non existant) but, maybe he got it for the three other off the ball fouls leading up to it.

Maybe, but you find a video of that whole little episode and then tell me he didn't do anything wrong. I agree that it wasn't a head but, but the lino is the guy that brought something to the refs attention, what he told the ref.. I don't know, but he should have gone before the head "rub" happened.

Fair enough, i was referring to the headbutt when i posted thatBarcon said:pudge said:He didn't do anything
This is what I was reffering to mate. P.S I agree, it was not a headbut, and he shouldn't have got a card for it.
