BCFC11 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Banned by the F.A for 4 games for ‘biting’ Joe Allen. This after JA has said Johnson never bit him yes you argue that the intent was there but it’s the going back and allowing the FA to punish people aslong as the match officials haven’t seen it that annoys the shit out of me tbh. The sooner they change it and are allowed to punish people via video evidence regardless if the officials have seen it or not the better, for example every week there are players diving all over the place, trying to gain an advantage and if seen they are awarded with a poxy yellow card end of story, it should be a 3 game ban minimum, it’s cheating, it’s the only way to stamp it out. Yet the FA give 4 game bans to Johnson despite his opponent defending him saying it didn’t happen, don’t even get me started on how they came to a decision to ban Diedhiou. The FA need a complete overhaul of their disciplinary procedures as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Bailey Wright at Fulham? I think the reason is that most outfits have very little to do, so when anything comes along they get stuck into it. To prove they are doing something.

AppyDAZE Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 So, Johnson out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When the river runs Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Did he bite him or just bite his shirt ? The video evidence I saw was just of Johnson with Allen's shirt in his mouth. his probably looked worse than it actually was and in the heat of battle with all the pushing and shoving if he only gets a mouthful of shirt , then I think the ban is harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Replay showed him with allens shirt in his mouth. Surely the intention was there? If he hadn't of got a ban there would of been similar uproar. Whilst i agree the FA are a load of bollocks when it comes to these type of things, this time (imo) they were in a none win situation.

BRISTOL86 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Absolutely should be banned. Just because he didn’t do it properly doesn’t mean he should escape punishment, intent was clear. Surprised it’s only 4 games to be honest, makes FDs ban all the more ridiculous. I don’t condone spitting but clear intent to cause someone significant harm should carry a bigger punishment.
