barton = inbred ill educated violent moron of a *word censored*.

The scumbag wanker got what he deserved but im sure he'll appeal it and get it knocked down to 6 games

[GranadaJoe]

I'm delighted. I hate Barton, hate Hughes, hate the owners of QPR and thereby hate QPR. They chose to buy the cigar-stubbing, innocent bystander-assaulting, teamate-injuring, all-round prick. He didn't want to go to QPR (what with him being the best midfielder in the country) but they offered him so much money that he chose to compromise and join that load of shit. The sound of chickens coming home to roost is music to my ears.

And as for those 'I don't care about his character, we should sign him' posters on this site (of which there were many), they too should receive a long ban from commenting on any player.

I think 12 games is ridiculously harsh if I am being honest, no one was injured and it was all handbags and some quality diving and acting by city players, I am not a Barton fan but I despise tevez and what he represents a lot more.

each was a red so the scouse see you next tuesday got what he deserved...maybe he can spend more time with his son now and educate him how not to be like his dad

When Shawcross and Taylor get 3 game bans it is harsh.We all agree Barton is a but when has he ever put a player out of the game for a whole season

Dont remember the press calling for Stoke to sack Shawcross

But hadn't you heard that those two are "not that type of player"

[donaldo]

My point is how can Barton get 12 games when none of the City players had a scratch on them and the two who broke our players legs,Eduardo and Ramsey which vitually finished one of their careers and in Ramsey's case he may never be the same player again got 3 game bans.

Agreed but that means Shawcross and Taylor got off lightly as opposed to Barton getting treated badly. They should have got at least the same as Barton and Barton deserves everything he got

So he used to be good I don't remember that game.

No they shouldnt have got the same as Barton because Bartons offences dont compare with leg breaking tackles.What Shawcross and Taylor did was threaten a players career.Barton did nothing of the sort.As i said Barton is a but not a leg breaking

[Vinny1967]

No doubt he's but I agree that some of the leg breaking tackles we have seen should have been punished more.

Didn't Cantona and Di Canio get lesser bans for what they did, and as for Shearer on Lennon.

An easy target for the FA I think.
