These things happen from time to time in the thick of battle among players. What Cantona did to that Crystal Palace fan (even though he deserved it) and what Keane did to Haland were much, much worse. A lot of people in this thread are calling Deeney a thug based on this. I don't remember anyone calling Ibrahimovich a thug when he grabbed Simon Kjaer's throat against Fenerbahce. Lets not even bring Deeney's past into this

My whole family should be banned from 5 family gatherings! When I was a kid I was a "bit" round so my whole family used to torture my cheeks whenever they saw me.
I've looked at the tackle a couple of times and cannot see anything obvious, suspect it is something that happened earlier and that was the first time they came together again.
Yeah the facial gestures do seem surprising like forced bravado, doubt it was planned.
Think they should both be summoned to the FA for a roasting about bringing the game into disrepute.
Agree with the ban. Makes football look bad. He clearly lost it there and would've probably tried to do some damage if it weren't for the cameras.
The 'laughing' doesn't change anything. People do that in a scuffle as if to show it's not affected them.

No going to prison, made him turn his life around.
He looks like he's trying to Oberyn the feckers head at one point 
Love the sociopathic grin too!
Love the sociopathic grin too!Lots of other people don't need the threat of prison to convince them they shouldn't be thugs.
Ban him for 5 games. We've got Watford away in a few weeks.
When I saw this on MOTD, I actually burst out laughing because both of them are smiling/laughing. He should get a ban, imagine if it had been a Utd player. I have always thought Deeney comes across as a massive ----LOL at the guy claiming it was planned.
A guy still had to get his jaw broken for that to happen. I wonder how he feels when he hears Deeney say something like that.
Its such a weird confrontation like they are enjoying it and everyone else is going mad
I liked the crazy look.
If he gets banned it's a joke what did he actually do
fecking hate football these days.
Allen is a little cretin too acting hard man like little ol scrappy jack or delli Alli. Sean around acting hard and never any consequence. Fair play to deeney even though I don't particularly like him he didn't really do anything here except stand his ground against a little weasel

There is a beauty to Deeney's approach.
Superman could never be that ugly. His face is a literal trainwreck.Always reminds me of.
He always reminded me of Sloth..
That gif is from Goonies (final scene where the pirate ship sinks) and totally about Sloth..
I laughed out loud.
thought thread title said deeney and alien incident ...
bit disappointed really

Would you rather he came out and said he'd do exactly the same given the chance?
Yes and lots of people go to jail, learn nothing from it and carry on as they were. People do stupid stuff. Can't hold one incident over their heads for the entirety of their lives.
Won't somebody think of the children!
4 pages on this? Pffft

Excellent news.
Didn’t Joe Allen say it’s not a big deal?
Saw the incident today. Allen strikes me as a wimp. Deeney looked a bit mental there.
Bit surprised they didn't both get a red at the time. Seen plenty of players sent off for less.
Grabbing someones face should be a 3 match ban.
This is about as tame an example of it as there'll be but its still a weird invasion of space and theres no sporting reason to mitigate why you would.
Allen reacted well and probably deserves credit. If it was Aguerro he'd be dieing on the floor as if his jaw had been torn off.

Troy "Cajones" Deeney
Michael Oliver was the referee. On his flawed scale of issuing punishments, Deeney attempting to throttle Allen warranted a yellow card, Joe Hart head butting him warranted no punishment, whilst Di Maria tugging his shirt warranted a red card. Not just Deeney who is a cnut, Oliver is one too.
Just a 3 match ban for this thug. Getting off lightly.
Surprised, thought when they get a yellow then there’s nothing that could be done about it
Should have been a red.
Banned for three games.
Banned for three.. Available for our visit to Watford...
When players from both sides starting to pile in, Oliver just stood about 10 yards away and watched the melee, he only moved in to show yellow cards when it was practically all over. Neither him or his assistants felt the need to move in and break it up, they just waited for the players to sort it out themselves.
They should do that more often. Let them get on with it then punish them after. Half the time the players only kick off because they know that the ref will step in and save them.
