The guy's a total idiot. He is now facing one hell of a ban as the FA have charged him with 2 counts of violent conduct, and that's on top of the red card. The thing is I could understand him being mad with Tevez, he was obviously looking to get Barton done, but what Barton did after the red card was just insane. The idiot also didn't help himself with his tweets after the match.
"After the match Barton tweeted: 'Can do nothing but apologise to the players and the fans. Still don't think its a sending off. Tried to take 1 of their players with me. Still not my proudest moment but who gives a f***, we are safe..........and that is all that matters.
'The head was never gone at any stage, once I'd been sent off, one of our players suggested I should try to take 1 of theirs with me... Never worked but god loves a trier. #reallynotbother #wearesafe"
