Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse banned for spitting

The Football Association has banned Manchester United's Jonny Evans for six games and Newcastle's Papiss Cisse for seven matches for spitting.
Evans, 27, had denied the charge which related to an incident with Cisse in Manchester United's 1-0 win over the Magpies on Wednesday.
"Mr Evans denied the charge but it was found proven," said an FA statement.
Cisse, 29, accepted the charge and has been suspended for an extra game as he has already received a ban this season.

More than a deliberate elbow to the head? Jedinak should have had a similar punishment. It doesn't make any sense.

Cisse yes, Evans though no as not the type of player who would do this in my view

Nuts, isn't it.

100% agree.

But he did do it.

Whether or not he's the 'type of player who would do this' is irrelevant.

But Cisse IS the sort of player you'd expect to spit at an opponent? Care to elaborate any further?

Racist.

 

[Beach Hut]

Racist.

Really, I was talking about form and what type of player they are but as usual and true to form you read it another way

As others have said would you care to elaborate? Evans did spit at Cisse. What 'type of player' is Evans? What 'type of player' is Cisse? What 'type of player' spits?

At least there is some consistency here, a six match ban for spitting at another player. There are plenty of players, including Jedinak, who regularly get away with using their elbows and escape without punishment.

It is odd though that presumably Cisse could have chinned Evans and would have received less of a ban than spitting at him. And if the ref had seen either of the incidents presumably the FA would have done F All?

Form? What form is that?

Has he spat at a player before? If anything he has come out of this situation better as he admitted it and said sorry.

Absolutely absurd punishment. Spitting although unpleasant and should be discouraged but it never hurt anybody or threatened an injury to end their career. Should have been 3 games maximum as per a straight red card.

All players spit.

All kids copy them.

Trouble is some don't spit on the floor.

Still a disgusting habit.

Apparently spitting spreads TB so does hurt people!

Is that a fact or one of those in a most bizarre case it could encourage TB.

I'm surprised that Cisse got the extra game ban. Evans instigated it and denied it, where as Cisse manned up and apologised for the retaliation.

His extra game ban was a result of it not being his first offence this season.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Good, they were both a disgrace.

TB, Hepatitus and other diseases.

Cheers, I must remember to make an effort to read more than the first sentence.
