The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I confess to being a little surprised that spitting is seen as thsuch a heinous offence these days. Very unpleasant undoubtedly, but if push came to shove I'd rather be spat at than have my leg broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not expect to ever be spat at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player should be able to play the game without being spat at or having their leg broken. Spitting at another human being is as low as it gets.

Saunders87 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 6 games for spitting, and formino is only looking at 8 for racism. And i agree that 6 games should be handed to someone who does this but if racism is only 8 then 6 does seem harsh in that context. Good news tho that he misses our game.

I can think of a lot of things I would consider worse. Perhaps it's a generational thing - spitting wasn't considered quite so bad when I were a nipper (though I remember it being specifically banned on buses in Cardiff!).

Broken legs rarely happens because of pre meditation, spitting at an opponent is vile and disgusting and is totally pre meditated. 4 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Is it? Why?

Not a generational thing, just shows self respect, good manners and most importantly a good upbringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A broken leg is a risk taken when you play football, and sometimes come about as a freak accident from a perfectly good tackle, like Luke Shaws one last season. Spitting at someone is a deliberate action, and a vile thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's absolutely vile, the lowest of the low. As already mentioned if he's got previous then he should've got an even longer ban imho as he's obviously not learned his lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest that if you were okay with being spat at, that you didn’t do enough to stop it being done to you!! Spitting at someone is definitely right up there with one of the worst things someone could do to another person (it’s a vile & disgusting thing to do) & something I would never accept or would ever lower myself to doing it, I’d say it’s a respect thing & if you have a level of disrespect for someone that you would spit on them, they would of had to of done something ridiculously bad against you, not just of been on the same football pitch as another person!! Spitting at someone is worse than punching someone or something similar as far as I’m concerned. It very rare that someone will set out to break another players leg on a football pitch & if someone does set out to physically injure someone then don’t deserve to be playing that chosen sport. If someone spits at another human, they deserve knocking out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get as angry being sworn or shouted at but if someone spat at/on me I'd lose my shit. It's the one thing that would make me turn to violence.

CotswoldRed Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 It is disgusting.... But it is certainly one of those things that seems to gain the weight of bigger punishment. I'd sooner see cheating get a bigger punishment than spitting, but the punters don't seem to mind cheating so much. 6 games for spitting. You months for cheating please.

I agree that I'd rather be spat at than have a broken leg, but spitting is disgusting and has no place in football. Legs can get broken with no intention and we don't want to make football a non contact sport do we?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's a generational thing - spitting wasn't considered quite so bad when I were a nipper (though I remember it being specifically banned on buses in Cardiff!). Whilst I agree that the heinous act of spitting at a fellow player is far worse than breaking his leg, whether accidentally or otherwise, I must confess I think I would rather wake up the morning following a match to find some gob on my shirt than my leg in a plaster cast. In respect of the highlighted part of your post, I remember clearly when I first came to France that a sign in the guest house I was staying stated clearly: 'No Smoking, No Loud Music, No Spitting'. I was quite shocked that the owner felt it necessary to remind his guests not to spit, but the Chinese, in particular, refer often to 'The Spit God' and consider expelling mucus as being healthy/clearing toxins and, of course, Africans from Yemen to Somalia chew 'Khat', witness the ubiquitous red residue from their spittle.

The people who run football you know Skysports and the like don't mind cheating but they don't like spitting, hence the suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
