Pardew at it again

[Pigeonho]

Agee with both sides. It was a nothing of an incident in one way, but in another you can't have managers going around doing that. A very silly thing to do.

Stop WUMing.

He's right though.

Strange because I normally agree with your posts, but on this I believe you're wholly wrong. You can't have managers committing common assault on opposition players in the course of a game and not expect extremely robust sanctions - quite properly too.

I've already said he'll get at least a 10-game ban for it and in the rarefied context of football that is about right.

This is obviously an extreme case because it involves a manager (and he'll rightly get the book thrown at him), but I'm just getting a bit tired of hearing incidents like this described as headbutts.

What word would you be happier with?

I'm happy, for the purposes of this exercise, for 'love-tap' to constitute a single word ;-)

Wow people are such pussies these days. That was a little tap. Nothing to see here.

Been fined £100k and looks to get a lengthy ban so obviously there is something to see here. I'm so sick of the faux hard men who every time theres one of these incidents say "was just a tap" etc. The facts are there are rules for managers and he broke those by nutting a player. Doesn't matter if it was a tap or a Zidane headbutt the intent was there and the **** has previous and will rightly have the book thrown at him.

It was a love tap. Way soccer Saturday and you lot make out it was the hardest headbutt of all time. Of course he has been fined because it's football and football is full of pansies. If that happened in ice hockey nobody would even remember it happened.

Is that you Rodney?

However its described and whatever it was the guy has anger management issues that need attending to if he wants to continue in his role. - events on the pitch and fellow managers like Maureen will just play on this now, Think of Sven and now Pellers - those two for starters seem to epitomise an "am I bovvered" approach to this sort of thing which has to be applauded

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Do that in a place of work then you or I would be sacked on the spot and possibly arrested. Fact. The guy is a not a hard man. He acts like this in places where others would not retaliate. Lets see him try it on the street. His quick apologies are almost as damning as his actions. His ability to rationalise and apologise for his actions so quickly after losing it suggest this is habitual behaviour.

Hope the FA find a way of revoking his licence for coaching for gross misconduct and gets sacked, gets bad cat aids while working as a rent boy in the gutters of his beloved that their Lahndon and dies a painful shit riddled death.

Ha ha, I'm not sure there is a word for it!

But it's only in the context of football that this gets described as a headbutt. It was the embarrassing, childish actions of a gobby wanker who regularly displays a complete lack of self control and he deserves all he gets as a result, but it was hardly the full-on Glasgow kiss that Stelling and Merson would have us believe.

I wish I had Rodneys bank balance.

Savage took he was acting like it was a full on assault. I think Big Dunc will be laughing his burglar-bashing cock off at this furore.
