Did I hear that Vincelot was fined 2 weeks wages for his punch against Burnley or did I dream it ? Cannot find mention of it on here.
Maybe that says a lot about your own personal attitude, Husty. Vincelot punched someone off the ball (allegedly), he shot his team in the foot. 2 week fine? Deserved. Barnes deserved the same, they both cost us a chance of winning that game. If they have a problem with that, that won't be the only problem they have.
It was more a little dig than a punch. If that's a red most games will be 8 / 9 players per team b the end. Hope / sure he wouldn't have been fined.
Discipline is important in the dressing room though, you can't have your players getting themselves sent off after 5 minutes.

He didn't deserve to get sent off. The Burnley bench and an interfearing 4th official got him sent off. Save fines for when they're really deserved, such as most of Murray's reds he got for us lol
What, because I think both players should recieve the same penalty, even though one incident went unpunished on the pitch whilst one was caught?
He did enough to get sent off. The line has to be drawn somewhere, personally, I would suggest that fining a player for getting sent off after 5 minutes isn't too unreasonable. If he kicks off, maybe he's the wrong sort of personality or character for the dressing room. There's a lack of discipline at this club at the moment.
Don't know the incident you're referring to, but I'm sure it happened.

We got 2 men sent off, Vincelot should be punished I agree, then Tarricco gets yellowed for dissent (stupid) then Burnley score, and then he slaps the nearest Burnley player on the cheek, which could easily have been a second yellow and us down to 8 men. All I'm saying, is that if we are going to punish Vincelot with a fine, we SURELY have to give Tarricco the same punishment, the fact Vincelot got a red for his and Tarricco got away with it shouldn't make a difference, do you agree?
I agree with you there is a discipline issue, but it comes from the management, Poyet and Tarricco do not have the right attitude and it rubs off on the players.

blimey i nearly agree with u re Tarricco...i must go lay down
no way did barnes deserve the same...so can't disagree more with u on that
He left us with 9 men, whatever you think of the incident, he got sent off. He basically cost us a reasonable chance of winning the match.
Aww, I was looking forward to you blindly dissagreeing with me, thankfully you just had to stick that nearly in there, so i'll continue feeling smug.
eh....he wasn't responsible for that nutter of a referee sending him off...the way that ref was going he would hav booked u for farting...so therefore not responsible ....''whatever i think of the incident''...is relevant..or i wudnt think he wasn't responsible..lol
How dare you accuse me of farting. I sit in the East!
