Pardew's ban

[canuckblue]

I remember Mancini having a go at Moyes and Moyes handling him well, which is why Mancini was charged and Moyes was not.

But it wasn't like Moyes squared up to the schoolyard bully, more like the schoolyard ponce. My gran would have taken Mancini and she's been dead for seven years.

The way i see it footballers are immature and reckless. they can do things in the heat of the moment and for a lot of them they have to grow up far too quickly if they are first team footballers whilst at the same time wanting to live the life of riley with their new found wealth.

Point i am trying to make is that footballers will do stupid things and they incur punishments because of it. They know what is acceptable so they can expect to be made an example of if they do anything stupid. Managers are meant to be the father of the team, the leader, the authority. What sort of message does it give the players when the manager is doing these stupid things? How can Pardew for example tell his team not to go and hit someone when he is guilty of the same offence?

I completely understand the general 'i am wrong' arguments, i just think that the F.A should have laid down the law with Pardew as it sets a dangerous benchmark for future conduct of managers.

I agree with the sentiment mate, I would say however players attacking officials is a worse offense thats all, imagine the number of whoppers playing sunday league thinking its common place to attack a ref, and just a heat of the moment thing

Player does it, red card and a 3 match ban. Don't see why it's worse especially coz he hardly full on nutted him.

If a fan does what Pardew did, he'd be arrested for assault.

There's no difference between the manager and a fan as both are spectators to a contact sport, not competitors in it.

He's lucky to not be banned from management for what he did. What he got is far too lenient.

Then Meyler should have pressed charges.

Maybe he didn't because it really wasn't that bad.

I actually think meylers push probably hurt more.

They won't sack Pardew because he's still got about 357 years left on his contract. The compo would bankrupt them.

He should be made to stay in a piss dungeon during his stadium ban
