Hanshithispantz Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's a weird one. I'm completely opposed to the idea of banning players tbh, I think it's pointless in most circumstances. Spitting would be up there though, it's definitely a level above most things you see on a football pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 WTF Buzzare I think. It's not nice like but it's nowhere near racism, and I'd say less severe than deliberate violent conduct, especially when taken into account it was in retaliation to a spit.

midds Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The comparison to Terry's ban for racism is ridiculous. One of the bans was way out of proportion and it isn't Cisse's, all of the criticism should be directed at the FA for only banning him for 4 games, that's the joke ban. Cisse can't really complain, it's abhorrent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Bollocks this like, what's becoming clear is that anything the media jumps on gets picked up and acted upon quickly and harshly by the FA whereas other stuff slips off the radar. Which is completely ridiculous when you consider that most people in the media aren't in the least bit unbiased or without an agenda of their own. What has happened to referees over a number of years has made its way into retrospective punishment - decisions not being made based on the crime at hand but rather for the fear of consequences in the media. The worky ticket managers and ex-players of big clubs fuel that of course, and it ends up with more of these things going their way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part aye, I'm not really sure how far I'd go like but it would be a massive reduction from what it is, where we have a ridiculous tier system leading to things like this. I'd keep them for certain things, racism, extreme violence, reckless and dangerous challenges etc. 5 yellow cards and you miss a game type of stuff though definitely needs to go imo.

Guest Gino14 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have no problem with a ban for spitting, but for me the standard three games is enough. You can do an absolute leg breaker on someone and it's three games. I just don't believe that spitting is worse. I've heard some utter nonsense since last night about "Worst thing in the game" and "Worst thing you can do on a pitch." I even heard a corker from Alan McInally that he'd rather be injured than be spat on. Give me a choice and I'll take a cloth and wipe the spit off rather than be injured. I think I'd probably take it over even a slight bruise. It's disgusting but the damage is almost nil, so to me the lunacy over it from pundits is silly. Love Evans trying to deny it when he's even spat at Riviere earlier in the game. Oh he's just continually spitting at the floor, but right next to people where it has to fly past them to get onto the floor. He should be getting 10 games just for being so tragically dishonest.

Cisse can't really complain, it's abhorrent. I disagree and I don't see how it's ridiculous. It highlights the stupidity of their decision making which is the point. You think 7 games for spitting is fine, I reckon it's fucking idiotic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking to improve the behaviour/conduct of the players on the park then the only punishment that's going to work would be losing points. Your club "can't control it's players"? no problem, lose 3 points. Your captain bites someone? no problem, lose 5 points. Your players have dived 3 times? no problem, lose 2 points. Guarantee that all of the above would stop if the potential punishment hurt the club in the league table. Behaviour and conduct of the players would improve overnight.

Dokko Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I personally don't think Evans spat at him, his face said it all for me, he was so focused on the physical coming together he doesn't even notice Cisse spitting back. Then when he finally listens to Cisse about the spitting the WTF? face looked very convincing. Should be on stage if not. If you can be guilty of spitting near someone without thought then he's guilty. Cisse is certainly guilty for reacting like he always does, OTT and very snide however 7 games is ridiculous as people have pointed out, especially when you look at Terry & Suarez. No common sense left in the game, FA showing how stupid they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If the ref had seen it and given him a red card I believe he'd have got a four game ban, so why the extra three? 6 game ban for spitting is Fifa worldwide mandated sanction for spitting offences, +1 for being a dick previously.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Fines are meaningless, bans are the only thing that really hurt player and club. Certain clubs are hurt much more than others when a player misses games, and certain things happen in the spur of the moment when things get heated with no thought of the consequence in mind. If it isn't dangerous play/racism etc then it can be handled with a fine or a small ban, at the minute it's out of control though imo. I don't think giving Cisse a 7 match ban is going to prevent anyone from spitting anymore than a 2 match ban would, he's just being banned excessively because they've created some ridiculous tier system where certain things deemed diabolical get the book thrown at them. There's no real sense behind it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
