Re: Spitting
As I posted on the other thread why should the ban be any longer than say Dele Alli's foul on Kevin De Bruyne.conyoviejo wrote:At opponents.. Time the FA dished out season long bans for this disgusting behaviour..even longer if they are green lumpy ones ..
Seems trying to break a leg is just part of the game perhaps!

Re: Spitting
My favourite spit was the one that landed on Ted McMinn at Wembley. Absolutely disgusting but Ted milked it and the red card helped us win the play off final. Phlemtastic.

Re: Spitting
It might be disgusting, but to my mind it’s no worse than throwing a punch or a kick at an opponent. A three match ban is appropriate.

Re: Spitting
He played for Derby against us in the FA Cup in 1992 and gave Ian Measham the runaround. Steve Davis was interviewed after the game and asked about McMinn's performance. Davis said that he was a cheat. I bet he didn't think he'd be a team mate two years later.tim_noone wrote:Good old tin man...don't make em like that anymore!
On the subject of spitting at an opponent. It's a bad as it gets for me and the long bans are appropriate.

Before the no mans land in the Longside was created and it was just railings anyone who was daft enough to stand next to it finished the match looking as though they had just had a sleepover in a slug farm whilst smeared in essence of lettuce.

Re: Spitting
Spitting is truly disgusting and if you consider the consequences of possibly spreading hepatitis and all manor of nasty diseases it`s far worse than any foul. At least kicking someone up in the air is all part and parcel of the game.

Re: Spitting
If someone either hit me or kicked me, I could walk away from it and not react. However
if someone spit in my face I would not hold back and I would (and have) lash out, without a
moments hesitation.
I think it's the most disgusting habit and has no place in society, let alone on the sports field.

Re: Spitting
Play a contact sport and it is not unreasonable to expect that, at some stage, you will pick up injuries which will vary in degree from slight sprains right through to broken bones, it is all part of the game, however, spitting at an opponent has no place in the game at all and should be treated as an assault.NRC wrote:I'm with Beamish on this - it's a question of degree. be spat on or get a broken leg..... hmmm....

Re: Spitting
I never mentioned anyone deliberately trying to injure other players because, unfortunately, this does happen in all contact sports and should be dealt with by those in charge. Spitting at someone is a deliberate act and is no more part and parcel of football than trying to deliberately injure someone, as such it should be dealt with most severely by those in charge.Spijed wrote:Ashingtonclaret46, I presume you and others think leaving a player unconscious like Ben Thatcher did with Pedro Mendes is part and parcel of the game?

Most players will recover from injury, however, this may not always be the case when someone spits --there is no way of knowing what they may have wrong with them and may well have transmitted to their opponent.

On a positive note, it was good to hear David Moyes come straight out and condemn his actions.

Although it may seem harsh compared to the tackle which got a booking at Cardiff yesterday there is no place in sport for spitting and if a 6 match ban is the punishment needed to help eradicate it from the game then all well and good. If it doesn't, then make it 12!
Re: Spitting
6 match ban is mandatory minimum I believe, think they should move it to 10 as a minimum for this disgusting behavior, back tackle mistimed is min 3 match ban which shows IMO that spitting is viewed as worse than bad fouls and quite rightly so.
I like DM attitude on this and home his club give him a hefty fine and dock his wages for the 6 games, am sure some of his teammates must also be disgusted in him.
I can see people being spit at just reacting out of pure instinct and sometimes think they must have a lot of restraint in there make up, obviously they would suffer to so I guess refraining from retaliation is the ultimate was to pay him back.
