Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hope they all get banned!
Hughes is beginning to sound like a pr!ck. Its always someone else's fault, isn't it?
Defending the indefensible, as he's doing, is only going to make controlling his ego machines even more diffiocult when he has to.

| National Hero "I seem to recall Brian Clough clipping someone around the ear, and he was lauded as a national hero," said Mark Hughes after Craig Bellamy's moronic cuff round the chops of an equally moronic invading fan on Sunday. Absolutely true. Brian Clough did indeed cuff a fan round the head after a Nottingham Forest game against QPR in 1989. However, the national hero bit wasn't quite accurate - Clough was fined £5,000 and banned from the touchline for the remainder of that season. Also, Clough swung a fist at one of a large number of pitch invaders who were skipping freely across the turf, while Bellamy slapped a man already being held down by four stewards. Whatever, it does give us an excuse to repeat possibly the finest headline from the time; 'The S**t Hits The Fan' . |

In all seriouness, I don't blame Bellamy here. If some bald headed Manc twat wants to run onto the pitch and disrupt play he should get anything that comes his way.

He should have kept his hands to himself. The steward already had him, three united players were there too, then Bellamy walks up and acts the big man.
The guy's a dick.

| Manchester City will not discipline Craig Bellamy after an altercation with a fan in Sunday's 4-3 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The police and the Football Association are both looking at the incident. Asked if the club would take any action against Bellamy, City's assistant boss Mark Bowen told BBC Radio 5 live: "No. I don't think there is any need to. "My take is that he thought the fella might spit in his face or something," added Bowen. "He came very close and moved towards him. Craig, with an open hand, just pushed the fella away."  City manager Mark Hughes has also defended Bellamy's actions, saying: "I did not see it but the guy should not have been on the pitch. That is not acceptable." Greater Manchester Police have charged the supporter for entering the playing area "without lawful authority". In a hotly-contested derby battle, the Blues came from behind on three occasions with Bellamy scoring two magnificent goals, including an equaliser to make it 3-3 in the 90th minute. "Brian Clough clipped someone's ear," added Hughes. "He was lauded a national hero. Maybe it'll be the same with Craig but I doubt it." Earlier, an FA spokesman said: "We are investigating the incident and we will be looking at the referee's match report." Disciplinary officials have already seen TV footage of the incident and the FA is likely to make a decision on whether to charge Bellamy later this week. Former Manchester United defender David May believes the emotions of the situation had an influence on Bellamy's reaction to the fan. He told BBC Radio 5 live: "It was silly but I suppose to a certain extent it was understandable. "When anyone comes on to the pitch it's worrying but maybe he shouldn't have slapped the fan, he should have walked away and let the steward get on with it. "Players have to be professional but I think the whole occasion got to him - he had got City back into it at 3-3 and his emotions were running high. "But you can't go round slapping fans. It's the wrong thing to do." The Manchester United fan who came on to the pitch after Michael Owen's late goal is set to appear in court later this month. A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "A man has been charged following an incident at the end of the match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford. "Jake Joseph Clarke, 21, is charged with going onto a playing area without lawful authority or excuse and will appear before Trafford Magistrates' Court on September 30." |

This is great news, as the more Man City keep offering pathetic excuses for their players mad behaviour on the pitch, the more it ensures they think they can get away with it and make sure we can all laugh our tits off when more players are suspended later in the season.

| MANCHESTER City ace Craig Bellamy was branded a "vicious thug" last night by the pitch invader he allegedly thumped after Sunday's 4-3 derby loss to United. Bellamy, 30, lashed out at Jake Clarke as stewards dragged the United fan off the field. Clarke, 21, was last night charged with running on to the pitch and faces a life ban from Old Trafford. He told The Sun: "I was a bit of an idiot but it doesn't excuse what Bellamy did. "He's a vicious thug. He ran up and shouted, 'Get off the pitch'. Next thing I know he's given me a backhander. He's a sore loser." Roofer Jake, of Chorley, Lancs, claimed he had been trying to hug his United heroes after "adrenaline took over". Meanwhile, it emerged that Blackburn star El Hadji Diouf suffered racial abuse 24 hours before allegedly telling an Everton ball-boy: "F*** off white boy." Diouf, 28, went to watch his old side Bolton play Stoke when boozy Potters fans allegedly kicked and spat at his car. |
Bellamy is a twat of the Bartonesque order but he was spot on here.
He should stfu.
More importantly, Diouf :bow:

| Craig Bellamy and Gary Neville will not face improper conduct charges from the Football Association over their behaviour in Sunday's Manchester derby. Instead Manchester City striker Bellamy and Manchester United defender Neville have been warned over their behaviour. Bellamy appeared to shove a fan in the face after the supporter went on to the pitch, while Neville ran towards City's fans after United's dramatic 4-3 win. Neville was a non-playing substitute in a match decided by a Michael Owen goal. Three years ago Neville received a £5,000 FA fine and was warned over his future conduct after he celebrated in front of Liverpool's fans after United secured a late winner over their rivals at Old Trafford. "In relation to Craig Bellamy the match referee has confirmed that he would not have sent the player off had he seen the incident with the fan at the time," said the FA statement. "Gary Neville has been reminded of his responsibilities following his actions after Manchester United's final goal deep into injury time." United have also avoided any disciplinary action after City substitute Javier Garrido was struck on the head by a coin thrown from the home section of the stadium at half-time. It is likely that former United hero Carlos Tevez had been the target as he was standing near Garrido when the coin was thrown. The Argentine, who moved across to Eastlands in the summer, was booed throughout the match by some of the home supporters. "The FA fully expects the club to use all available means to identify and deal with the culprit appropriately and, along with the fan who entered the field of play, look to issue bans on attending future matches." In the aftermath of Sunday's derby, City boss Mark Hughes and his assistant Mark Bowen jumped to the defence of Bellamy, insisting that the striker would not be punished by the club. "The guy made an aggressive move," said Hughes. "Craig just put a defensive hand out to push him away. Bowen added: "My take is that he thought the fella might spit in his face or something." The police are looking at the Bellamy incident, while the supporter has been by Greater Manchester Police for entering the playing area "without lawful authority". In a hotly-contested derby battle, City came from behind on three occasions, with Bellamy scoring two magnificent goals, including an equaliser to make it 3-3 in the 90th minute. City striker Emmanuel Adebayor is already facing an FA improper conduct charge after running the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal supporters after scoring against his former team. The Manchester United fan who came on to the pitch after Owen's late goal is set to appear in court later this month. A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "A man has been charged following an incident at the end of the match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford. "Jake Joseph Clarke, 21, is charged with going onto a playing area without lawful authority or excuse and will appear before Trafford Magistrates' Court on September 30." Meanwhile Hughes and assistant boss Bowen admitted some kind of independent time-keeper might solve the problems that erupted during Sunday's derby clash. "I am not particularly advocating this but maybe if you had a different system where someone else took over the time-keeping, it might help," added Bowen. |
The guy punches a fan in the gob and gets away with it - hopefully there will be a court case pending to cause the club some more drama.

A fan steps onto the pitch & lunges towards a players - then anything goes IMO. There's even certain Steven Seagal moves I'd still defend players for making no matter how many stewards are holding him back.
Good on Bellamy - the thug achieved the impossible in his quotes & made himself come across as an even bigger prick.

Not sure you can deport someone to Wales though. You'd need someone to pay the £6 at the toll.

| A FOOTBALL fan shoved in the face by Manchester City star Craig Bellamy after he ran on to a pitch was banned from attending matches for three years today. Jake Clarke, 21, from Chorley, Lancs, admitted entering the playing area at Old Trafford during Manchester United's 4-3 victory over City. Bellamy confronted the Utd supporter after the solo pitch invasion, which came at the end of a highly-charged game on September 20. The bricklayer, who had to be restrained by four stewards, told officers he "got overexcited" and "just wanted to celebrate with the players" after Michael Owen scored a last-gasp winner. Clarke, who has previous convictions for cannabis possession and common assault, told Trafford Magistrates' Court that he "deeply regrets" his behaviour. He said: "I'm gutted about what I have done. I know it was a stupid action. I just wanted to celebrate." The court heard Clarke was leaving the ground when Owen scored deep into injury time, and the fan was pushed towards the pitch before he decided to enter it. Steve Woodman, prosecuting, showed CCTV footage of the incident, and said that Manchester United are considering imposing their own ban on the football fan. Their rivals, Manchester City, could have equalised if it had not been for Clarke, Mr Woodman suggested. He said: "The defendant's actions could well have caused a full scale pitch invasion. It will have been viewed by millions across the world. "It was a very tense, very high profile match. The game went right down to the wire. "The City players were trying to get back to the centre circle to respond to the late goal. "City may well have been able to push on and score the equaliser." Cops are not investigating Bellamy over the incident but he is thought to have received a warning from the Football Association, Mr Woodman said. Ian Huggan, defending, said that football is a large part of Clarke's life and he attends around 40 games a season. He admitted: "This was a foolish mistake by Mr Clarke. It has caused a lot of concern and anxiety for the people involved." But he asked the court not to impose a ban on his client, saying: "Is it right that this defendant is made subject to a banning order when the player who took the action is just given a warning?" If Bellamy had not got involved the incident would have been dealt with "very quietly" and would have "gone away", Mr Huggan said. He pointed out that other football fans who have invaded pitches have been given cautions rather than bans. But Anne Marie Evans, chair of the Magistrate's bench, decided to bar Clarke from all football matches for three years, and imposed a fine of £305. She said: "Your explanation was that you wanted to celebrate. This does not give you any right to run on to the pitch. Your actions could have resulted in disorder and possible violence." Speaking outside court, Mr Huggan said Clarke is "extremely disappointed" by the decision. He added: "He is now going to take the time to give consideration to that decision and the options available to him." |
