Flip Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Mings banned for 2 more games than Zlatan. Bournemouth are appealing - rightly so IMO. I don't see how it's rightly so. Mings clearly deserves a heavier ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not allowed to touch the EPL's biggest draws, intentionally or not. Imagine the disgusting message it would send to players considering contesting challenges with a Hazard or an Aguero. Know your place, lowly Bournemouth scum.

joeyt Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I still think he's trying to get back in position and hurdle the players on the floor but Rooney starts to get up so his flight is altered and he ends up standing on Ibrahimovic's head. If the referee had done his job Ibrahimovic wouldn't have been on the pitch after shoving Mings to the floor way before the incidents took place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's a poor attempt if it was deliberate, no force in the stamp at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I refuse to believe he intentionally stamped on a mans head like. They should ban him for life if they can prove that shit, otherwise let him off. This 5-game ban is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things are avoidable but unintentional. These things that aren't avoided usually goes punished. O rdo you think all tackles branded red cards are intentional? To me it looks like Mings stamps on his head on purpose. He doesn't try to avoid the situation which for me should result in a ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Surely if he wanted to purposefully stand on his head he'd have his eyes fixed on Ibrahimovic's head and not on the ball? I agree with Hans in that you have to be a pretty calculated individual to purposefully stand on someone's head when they're on the floor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think he didn't care whether he stamped on his head or not, rather than it being intentional. Reckless play or whatever. 5 game ban seems harsh but I would have understood maybe 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Whilst I don't think he intentionally stamped on his head, I think he was aware a collision was going to take place and took no action to avoid it when he easily could have, so he's fully deserving of a ban. The five games is disputable though as Ibra clearly intended on causing Mings some damage, which I think is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
