Gershwin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I see he actually broke his leg! Surely the FA will throw the book at him...no attempt to play the ball, blatantly meant to hurt him. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hull_city/7617057.stm The new Joey Barton?

heartsfc_fan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Newcastle seem to have a nack for having trouble makers at the club: In the past Bellamy Alan Smith sometimes has an attitude problem on the pitch BARTON Guthrie Mike Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Interesting article in which it is referred to as a "tackle", a "challenge" and an "incident". Ashley says he can no longer take his family for fear of "assault" and that, I believe, is the word which best fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboSean Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 He went to do him once, missed, then made sure he got him the second time. Not sure what Fagan did to him, but he was definately after him. A fair suspension would be for Guthrie to miss all the games Fagan does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Szyslak Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 There's a certain poetic justice that this comes almost exactly a year after that unpleasant little tw@t Fagan thought he got away with this off the ball stamp on a Liverpool player, only to get done later on video evidence with an extra match thrown in for making a frivolous appeal. What goes around comes around, Fagan. At least Guthrie was honest/stupid enough to give you a good old fashioned boot (or two) in full view of the officials rather than trying to get away with a nasty stamp while the ref wasn't looking.

While generally I feel football "incidents" should be dealt with in-house, I think Guthrie should be charged with AOABH by the Police. He had a go at Fagan in the lead-up to what IMO was a vicious, premeditated assault and he will be hard pushed to claim it was an accident.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Being generous calling it a tackle. However, for some reason I;ve always intensley disliked Craig Fagan. Both in real life and, bizarrely, in Football Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Haas anyone seen Birminghams Nafti's tackle against Doncaster on Sat - an absolute shocker and 10 times worse than Guthrie. You're right, horrendous two footed flying lunge, just good fortune that the Donny player saw it coming and had both feet off the deck, otherwise that would have been a cert broken leg.

Captain Canada Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The FA need to really clamp down on this sort of stuff - If I was in charge, assaults like Guthries and deliberate stamps would get an automatic 10 match ban and fined a hefty amount such as ?100,000. That would soon stop people doing it and trying to end fellow footballer's careers with hotheaded attempts at tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommythejambo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 To be fair I haven't seen the challenge in question but from the report it sounds like he got a bit frustrated and lunged in. Bit OTT calling him the 'new Joey Barton' he hasn't leathered any teenagers during a night on the lash yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
