He's been charged its Violent Conduct. Hearing set for 24th April, which is Wednesday.

Wonder what sanctions normally apply?

3 or 4 game ban perhaps?

Or factoring in it's Suarez, 30 or 40 game ban perhaps?

I'd merge all of everything if I could.


I think 8 game ban.

The FA’s contention that the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient in these circumstances.

Who's saying that?

[McDermotX]

A minimum 8 games I reckon.

Probably double figures.

8 sounds like a punishment they would hand out to someone they really, really want to nail, and that certainly sounds like the FA and Suarez.
But a mitigated punishment could be acceptable, considering Luis' quick apology, club's fine, Ivanovic's accepting of apology......................and if there is a genuine acceptance by media influences on the FA that he'd didn't murder someone on the pitch.
Not likely, but there's always a reversal of the immediate hysteria with outlandish incidents.

Double figures is reserved for completely over the top assaults, such as Pepe against Getafe.
Who, BTW, is still at that club. Just saying like.

Di Canio got 11 for pushing Paul Alcock.

What did Barton get for his challenge on Aguero ?

[Alex]

10 games I think.

[Leyton388]

Loads of gob****es on the radio saying we should sell him. How about **** off?

[Chazza]

What did Barton get for his challenge on Aguero ?

12.

Sorry, couldn't be bothered to read the last 10 pages I'd missed since last night.

So by the sound of it they haven't in any way pre-judged the outcome, or for that matter taken any notice of the precedent (of sorts) set by Defoe's yellow card for the same offence.
