Calm down, Joey Barton says it's OK: "Seen Pardew incident. As per usual. Massively over-hyped. Don't let a couple of stupid incidents detract from the job he has done at Newcastle. Especially with what goes on behind the scenes there."
So if Pardew saw red for the head butt (in line with FA regulations) did the Hull player get booked for the initial shove on Pardew? Double standard if not.
"I shouldn't have done that." Said Alan. It's hardly much of a head butt. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs...nt-off-headbutting-hull-player-164843487.html
