Not sure I totally agree with some of the opinions on this thread!
No question it has been blown out of proportion and it is rather ironic that some pundits who have a history of thuggish behaviour, like Souness and Savage were some of the first to pillory him.
However, Pardew is the manager of the club and must set an example to his staff. He is also 20 years older than the players and as a mature adult should be able to control himself under the slight provocation, of a push, that he was subjected to by a player very much his junior. He also has history for losing the his cool, not a good sign at his age.
I remember 1994 when Duncan Ferguson, a Scot(and eventually a Newcastle player) got 3 months in prison, for head butting John McStay during a game, when he played for Rangers? That stamped out violence in Scottish football.
The FA have ignored the problem, mostly by players, for far too long.
So look out Mr Pardew, they are coming to get you, justifiably or not.
A course in anger management would not go amiss...........................................................You need it!
