Rampent   10 #13 Posted March 2, 2014 Maybe he's just fitting into the geordie lifestyle?lol My brother went to live up there a while back,after about 5 years of being up there,he came down to visit for the weekend,we both had a little to drink and started fighting. But what was amazing,is he started the fight off with a "Geordie kiss" lol. (and he was drinking Newcy brown all night lol)  He was out of order, but it' a storm in a tea cup me thinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Manlinose   10 #14 Posted March 3, 2014 He's got off very lightly, if I'd done that at work, I'd have been dismissed.  the fine is only the punishment by newcastle, he's still got the FA to deal with - probably a ban for a few games - ideally a stadium ban rather than a touchline ban  it wasn't much of a headbutt though - i've had harder kisses  and i can't see newcastle sacking him - they did win after all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chipspice   10 #15 Posted March 3, 2014 I think they mainly fined him based on the "intent" of the action, he has to be seen to be setting a good example to the players and to the fans.  He apologised and Hull accepted the apology. He has been fined so time to just leave it at that rather than all the papers and such dragging it out. A lesson learned for him I think!   A long suffering Hull fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Robbie Loving   10 #16 Posted March 3, 2014 But is it a lesson learnt?  He has previous and this is just another to add touch line bust ups he has had. Furthermore, it's a hollow apology when he still claims he was trying to push the player away using his head.  I'm glad Newcastle have taken some action and hopefully the fa will treble that fine and give him a 5 match touch line ban. He needs to be taught that this behaviour will not be tolerated.  As a side note, agreed with the poster who said he would be sacked if they were in the relegation zone.

boyfriday   21 #18 Posted March 3, 2014 The FA can't sack him so my previous comment stands.  Effectively they can by imposing sanctions on him that curtail his ability to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Think Pardew will get about 10 games because of his previous issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bypassblade   10 #24 Posted March 4, 2014 Its got to be a stadium ban really,i mean a touchline ban is no big deal,just sit in the stands on the phone to your assistant.  By rights he should be sacked, he is supposed to set an example to players and fans if he's always scrapping what hope is there. If it was a one off I'd just ban him, but he's known for his temper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
