found that this is a similiar topic to Rock^star's, so
moderators can close if you want.
however, for me, I am puzzled at the anger inside Barton.
For those who played this game either professional or school wise,
when you playing in your team training, do you go to such
extreme?
For me, normally, we always keep a bit so that we trained but we
don't injure.
Like tackling, we make it a point that we win it without injuring
the player.
cause in the end, it is still one team.
I recalled Souness in his managerial days also crash with Yorke
over tackling incidents. Is it just ego?? Is there a need?
Like Barton, he has an excellent guru in Pearce. Pearce was an
unforgiving defender in his prime but you never hear such rubbish
like attacking own players.
Perhaps the strain of EPL or just the Barton's Character?
Another good example is Lee Bowyer..
