12 matches is ridiculous...I'm a huge Joey Barton fan, so maybe I'm biased. But, he didn't actually hurt anyone and Tevez definitely wasn't innocent in the disagreement (where's his ban?). Once again, the FA picking on a Scouser....go figure.

I'm guessing the length has to do with his post-red actions and his twitter comments.

I agree, suspension should be 4 or 5 games.

He Admitted to trying to injure one of the opposing team After already receiving a red for an elbow to the face, and you think a normal ban is ok? Also history can not be ignored in these situations.

Ok, 6 games... I missed the head butt. I still think 12 is excessive...

no shite. i didn't read that article so i don't know if it showed the breakdown of his suspension, but here it is:

quote:

"Barton is already serving a four-match suspension for his dismissal in the match, which consists of three matches for violent conduct plus one match as this was the player's second dismissal of the season. The two further breaches for violent conduct ordered he be suspended for eight matches to run consecutively to the four matches, taking the total suspension to 12 matches."
