Joey Barton receives 12 match ban

Suarez got of lightly but Barton's punishment was fair.

Agree with this. Barton is a complete tool, left his team in the lurch and possibly gifted the title to Man City. Would be good to see him and Kompany in a ring

4 for the Tevez incident (and how Tevez hasn't been retrospectively done I don't know) 4 for Augero, and then 4 cause loads of people saw it on the Telly.

The only annoying thing about the 12 match ban is that the mouthy little shit will still be picking up his £90k a week.

I'd have thought under the circumstances the club could sack him.

He's been let off lightly. If it had been separate games he'd have served another 5 and 6 games for the Aguero/Kompany stuff which would have made it 15. And as he later stated it was a deliberate attempt to get one of the City players to get themselves sent off, I'd have thrown another 5 in.

Talking of bans, what's happened to John Terry's?

But for an incompetent ref at the Stoke v Bolton game, he could have cost QPR £50million+

I know most of us would be sacked if we got even close to doing that.

As a primary school teacher, it's nice to see everyone practising how to add to 12.
