Joey Barton out for nearly a 1/3 of the season /merged/

[vblockranger]

Bit excessive if you ask me.

4 matches for second red & 3 for kick on Aguero would of sufficed.

Another kick in the boll0cks for QPR from the FA no doubt.

Media pressure/inept Fa ===== absurd decisions

They obviously don't teach sarcasm very well in primary school then.

Joke's on the FA....We got Diakite and Faurlin playing together! (Hopefully)

Seems a little harsh but not unexpected!

That's virtually one third of next season but to my mind still not enough.Should have been more like 12 months than 12 games.Given his past reputation,the importance of the game at the Etihad with an audience of hundreds of millions (perhaps that's why he chose to do what he did), what it does to the image of QPR, and the fact that his actions could well have sent us down (which must have crossed even his pea brain when he did the walk of shame),I'll personally be glad to see the back of him if TF/MH can get shot of him.

Keep HIM! (Liverpool kept suarez) - Dont put him on the squad list till January - Act as new signing!! Surely and easy move - Maybe fine him half of his wages? 6 weeks worth?

[West Acton]

Suppose the option is to leave him out the 25man squad until Jan or does Hughes decide he can do without him two months but is worth having in squad for the two months before Jan he can play

[Factamondo]

id actually give him time off on an anger management programe and make him go around the borough providing a community service...

Joey Barton out for nearly a 1/3 of the season....

12 match ban!

What a div! Hope he is not paid for that duration!

Real let down to the club and fans.

I would get rid.

Out for nearly a third of the season before he starts accumulating more red and yellow cards. Could end up out for half a season!

FA hand Barton 12-match ban

The FA have handed Joey Barton a 12-match ban and fined him £75,000 for his red card and subsequent actions in Queens Park Rangers' 3-2 defeat against Manchester City.

The 29-year-old midfielder was sent off for elbowing Carlos Tevez but later appeared to kick out at Sergio Aguero and attempted to head butt Vincent Kompany.
