Pardew uses his head

So of course nobody will copy Pardew at Sunday league an other levels of football? Of course they will, but they can apologise afterwards and express regret, and say they should have sat down! Pardew says he will have a session of self-therapy, and that he needs to have a good old word with himself and the fuss will die down.

He has previous. However on that occasion it was a match official and they're fair game aren't they Alan?

Heat of the game? Newcastle were cruising it at the time. Pardew must have been feeling under enormous pressure when he did it, I mean 3-1 up away at Hull, surely he must have felt his job was on the line poor man!

After all the Hull player must have done something to deserve it, having the cheek to want to retrieve the ball and get on with the game for gawdsake! And that self same player was not showing due deference to Pardew when in his presence, isn't that a reasonable excuse to headbutt the player and remind him he is a pleb compared to Alan Pardew?

Now all of a sudden Alan is getting grief because of his reasonable, justified and restrained behaviour, somehow it turns out Pardew is to blame! How can that be fair?

Political correctness gone mad I tell you.
