FA and Joey Barton

[Redkop]

Banned Barton to miss six matches

 

He got off light IMO....

[ManxRed]

He always does. He's English though, so that's OK.

[Guest spk]

think is b******s myself. it was over two f***ing years ago. if the fa want to put on a show flexing their muscles they should t*** united for their tapping up, not s**** like this.

[Gunga Din]

it happened on the training ground and i dont think the FA was right to do what they have done. it should have ben left to the police, because as far as i'm aware the FA has no jurisdiction over the training ground.

 

He is a horrible little b*****d but the FA were wrong here IMO

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

hasn't he already been punished for this anyway? By the bizzies?

If I stubbed a fag out on one of my colleagues, I'm fairly sure I'd be prosecuted, fired and called up before a disciplinary tribunal.

Well I'm a solicitor and I reckon the Solicitor's Disciplinary Tribunal would call me in and consider striking me off the role.

 

If there is a regulatory system in place for a trade, I reckon they'd all have something to say about this. Particularly if its so high profile.

THE FA

 

Football Rules

The Football Association is responsible for ensuring that the international Laws of the Game are applied on the field, and that the rules and regulations concerned with running football in England are observed by officials, clubs and players off the pitch as well as on it.

This is not a breach of regulations, it's a breach of the criminal law. As Wayne said, it's got nothing to do with the FA, except perhaps in helping the police with their enquiries. Barton should also be banned from football - worldwide - permanently. If the FA can't do that then it needs someone who can.

Depends how the regulations are defined/construed for Barton attacking on the 'training pitch'

 

I absolutely agree he should be banned from football - worldwide - permanently. He is just a nasty little thug!

[John am Rhein]

Whatever the regulations are, the law takes precedence over them - whether the FA or FIFA like it or not.

which proves me point. this is about a criminal case, not a rules and regulations issue, therefore ithas nothing to do with the FA. IMO off course.

[Redkop]

If the FA brought proceedings against Barton before the police did... the way I read the Rules and Regulations... the FA can carry on after the case has been dealt with by the police.
