Alan Pardew: Newcastle United boss banned for seven games

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been handed a seven-game ban by the Football Association for his headbutt on Hull's David Meyler.
He was involved in an incident with the midfielder in the 72nd minute of his side's 4-1 win on 1 March.
An independent regulatory commission ruled the first three matches imposed are a stadium ban with the remaining four a touchline ban.
Pardew, 52, was also fined £60,000 and warned as to his future conduct.

It does seem fair, but if I was spotted in a fracas with an opposition supporter I may get a 3 year Stadium Ban.

I genuinely dont see what all the fuss was about. It was hardly a full blown head butt. The media just made the incident far worse than it really was.

Seems right. 'I've been nutted harder than that trying to get off with a bird and going the wrong way' is still the best analysis I've heard.

Seems about right to me. It was all a bit pathetic.

I totally agree. However the comment above about if a fan was seen to do the same thing is very true. The likelihood is that there may be some kind of criminal sanction in addition to a much longer stadium ban.

That doesn't really sit right with me either.

If this had been his first brush with the authorities in his position as manager, a 7 game ban etc etc would be about right.

As it it is not......a very , very lenient punishment.

No doubt Pardew would also pass a 'Fit and Proper' person to manage a football club, if the FA had such a requirement.
