Barton could face FA action
Joey Barton could find himself in trouble with the FA after appearing to punch Morten Gamst Pedersen in Newcastle's 2-1 defeat by Blackburn.[LNB] Barton lashed out at Rovers star Pedersen with a blow to his stomach that caused the Norway international to fall to the ground.[LNB]Referee Michael Jones did not punish Barton after the incident, which could leave the player open to retrospective action from the FA.[LNB]Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce opted not to give his thoughts on the matter after the game, instead leaving the FA to deal with it.[LNB]"I'm not really going to talk about that because I don't want to detract from our victory," he said.[LNB]"Whoever will see it will see it and do whatever needs to be done."[LNB]Pedersen offered a similar view, adding: "You saw the pictures. I don't want to speak much about it now."
