    Ched Evans and Joey Barton: The pot calling the kettle black

    LMFAO:

    Ched Evans: Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton says striker to leave over 'discipline'

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55380807

The idiom is glossed in the original sources as being used by a person who is guilty of the very thing of which they accuse another and is thus an example of psychological projection,[1] or hypocrisy
