j j m 6,479 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 seems a bit harsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulnix 426 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Length maybe harsh but he did bet on his own team losing ( although he wasn't in the squad on those occasions ) this ban in line with others caught, the rules are clear and no grey area so no excuses and while I agree on a total ban surely a player betting on a team they have no influence on ( a non league player betting on a world cup game for example ) isn't as bad as a horror tackle where you could very likely break a leg and end someones career ? A player who gets a straight red card for a dangerous tackle and the will in all likely hood just get a couple of games ban, abuse the ref and probably only get a yellow at most, it's an exaggeration maybe but get caught betting on Afganistain Vs Usbekistan and you may get a season or four off.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,620 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 seems a bit harsh It dose, he did admit he had a problem though with evidence to, so maybe they just had to knowing he has a problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,926 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Punishment is maybe a bit harsh but his reputation as a total fanny goes before him so not surprised he got hammered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I personally think he has made a rod for his own back over the years and the fa have taken this chance to bury him This have probably cost him a last million or so from a final deal, total idiot Saying that I believe it kind of sums up Barton's career with an ignominious end Truly wasted his talents over the years , could have and should have been an England regular Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j j m 6,479 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 never a great fan of him,but i still think that sentence was a bit harsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
