AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah, at least Cisse has come out looking like the better man. Disappointed that the press haven't made it clearer that Evans was the instigator mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Embarrassing from Scholes to call it a reflex to spit. Turn your head away from your opponent on the ground and do it, unless Evans is a simpleton? He knew what he was doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The spitting on the floor in football is generally a little ott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 To be honest I never understand why it is acceptable for a footballer to spit on the floor. Is there a physiological justification for this? The kids of today are copying the likes of Ronaldo. Have you ever played football? In fairness - I've never really understood the need. As I'm sure most people have here, I've played a lot of football over the years and never quite understood the need to spit during a match. Its just a release of fluid. And for some, just a (bad) habit. To say it shouldn’t be 'acceptable' is ridiculous. Why should the voluntary release of any bodily fluid be 'acceptable' during a match? Can't say it took superhuman effort to control my various orifices during 5 a side or park football over the years. It depends on the person, when exercising and football in particular I get a lot of build up and have to release it, others don't, it's similar to sweat levels, some people sweat more during exercise, others don't. In saying that though there is no need to actually spit at someone like Evans clearly did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Aye I've never needed to spit during sport, always used there was also a macho aspect to it. It doesn't really bother me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't have a problem with the six game ban for spitting, seven with a previous sending off. The fact that people can end careers and escape punishment however, I do have a problem with. And the fact that Evans will get off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's a common thing to feel the need to spit during heavy excercise, I've always had it. That thick saliva building up is because your body loses water. Then there are players who have a spitting tic. Shearer had a bit of that going on, Zlatan too.

Dinho lad Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Cisse is certainly guilty for reacting like he always does, OTT and very snide Eh, isn't the elbow earlier on this season the first time he's acted like anything other than an absolute saint since he arrived at NUFC?

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's not like basketball players have to spit on the court all the time . I generally don't mind spitting when playing football on grass but spitting while playing on artificial turf really disgusts me. Basketball players are constantly hydrating, though. Exactly, and in situations where there isn't water immediately available people are spitting in the nearest bin if playing inside or through the fence/out of bounds if playing outside. It is a natural thing to do. ------------ http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/08/mendes250806_400x600.jpg Flying elbow leading to convulsions=six games initially, 8 after extensive appeal process. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/audio/video/2013/4/22/1366636821149/Luis-Su-rez-bites-Otman-B-005.jpg Seven match ban-actually biting a person in the neck. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/09/21/article-0-151476F7000005DC-860_468x400.jpg Alleged Racism-Eight matches http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/22/article-2312710-196BEDE1000005DC-871_634x514.jpg Second biting offence within three years=ten match ban. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01584/ANTON_1584617a.jpg Much more clear cut racism than Suarez done by England's captain=four match ban, the same you receive for a late tackle. I don't have anything against Thatcher, Terry, or Suarez, but the penalties are disproportionate. Spitting is terrible but not actually going to harm anyone. It is something I've only done once in my life, and don't plan to do again, but you see how it can happen in a tense match AFTER someone has already spit on you.

Kanj Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The FA and FIFA and nearly all football organizations have disgraceful process for banning players. Their punishments are not befitting of the "crime" what-so-ever. Bodily harm (esp if the tackle was wreckless or intentional), Racism - those are things that need to be taken out of the game. Those punishments need to be harsh and long, financial as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
