shefcanary 2,392 Posted January 2, 2012 Joey7BartonJoseph Barton I''d be 1st to apologise if I''d reacted. Cannot apologise as I know I''ve not head butted anyone. Disappointed for the lads and the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted January 2, 2012 Not sure it was a red would like to see a better angle for it. But I have no time for Barton so couldn''t give a toss. He will have plenty of time on his hands to tweet over the next 3 matches now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirsty Lizard 3,158 Posted January 2, 2012 Contrast what he says today with what he said after the incident with Gervinho when he was playing for Newcastle at the beginning of the season. Laughable!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,392 Posted January 2, 2012 QPR''s Joey Barton on Twitter: "Well feel for the officials, they''ve been conned. Admitted to me at HT they never saw it. I was pulled back 1st, then kicked 2nd!"What a lot of bollocks, he and Johnson tried to slow each other down, Barton reacted and pushed his forehead into Johnson''s face - not strictly a full powered Glasgae kiss, but the intent was there. He is an intelligent guy, but his neural wires are obviously screwed somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted January 2, 2012 Spot on Sheff ........ he knew exactly what he was doing. He just thought he could take it that far and get away withit.As to the guff about what the officials said I would take that we a HUGE pinch of salt. Officials are highly unlikely to comment in that way. More so, given that Colin has stated that Barton was sent off for a headbutt - as seen by the linesman.As to what the ref actually saw, the live stream showed the refereee facing directly in their direction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shack Attack 0 Posted January 2, 2012 I''ve got an idea. As the majority of us will have seen this though a grainy internet feed or at the ground some sixty yards away from the incident why don''t we wait until we get a decent view on MOTD before we pass judgement?

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted January 2, 2012 The funny thing is that everyone from press to QPR fans will say that the decision cost them but us City fans know that we would have won the game even if the card hadn''t appeared. QPR haven''t won at home for two months and we''ve come very close to winning our last two away matches. When you consider that we beat them at Carrow Road this season and last and that we could have turned a draw into a victory if Wes hadn''t missed his penalty at Loftus Road last time round a win for Norwich was always likely red cards or not.

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted January 2, 2012 I quite like this guy Andrew Pinnington on twitter, who said: "Joey barton: remember gervinho? let''s say sympathy for you will be minimal. " Another QPR fan was also complaining that Joey was only sent off because of his reputation. Well, that''ll teach you to buy players with a reputation for picking up red cards then. In much the same way we struggle to get freekicks for fouls on Holt because of his reputation. It always comes back to bite you in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjb 11 Posted January 2, 2012 http://theoriginalwinger.com/2012-01-02-video-qpr-vs-norwich-city-highlights-premiership/3I must admit Johnson probably over reacted but by doing so alerted the ref that something had happened which meant he had to talk to the lines man.

shefcanary 2,392 Posted January 2, 2012 C''mon, he''s just had someones forehead pushed into his face and his nose has got hit, at least he didn''t do the dying swan, he did what decent person would have done, checked that there was no blood (blood during a match and you have to get it sorted). Once he saw there wasn''t he actually ran back into position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
