Violent Offender suspension handed down
By: j | September 5th, 2008In a surprise move, The FA, has announced that the violent offender has only been suspended for a further six matches for his vicious attack on teammate Ousmane Dabo with a further six matches suspended to the end of the 2009-2010, contingent upon him not being convicted again of another violent encounter.
A statement from the independent Regulatory Commission Chairman Maurice Armstrong said: “Much has been written about Mr Barton over recent months. The Regulatory Commission had the benefit of taking all appropriate information into consideration. The Commission members considered principally the serious attack by Mr Barton that clearly cannot be accepted.
“The members also had to take into consideration the sanctions imposed by the courts and the pro-active support Mr Barton has received from Newcastle United FC and other professional bodies.
“The Commission members wanted to punish the offence appropriately but give Mr Barton an opportunity to ensure his professional conduct does not falter again and ensure he is fully aware of the consequences should he make another serious error of judgement.”
Whilst many thought they were going to do the intelligent thing and show the public the mettle they are made of with a fifteen match deduction, the FA, decided to teach the youth a brand-new message to the children watching the game. This says more then all the public service announcements you can put together and the action of a gutless governing body.
