Douglas Costa - The Spitter

[MrEleson]

This is probably in line with how berserk Pepe went against Getafe back in 2009 and he was banned for like 10 games. In fact, this could even be worse as he not only spat on the guy but on the guy's mouth...

Can't even watch the replays of it without feeling a bit sick.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

How are the press and pundits in Italy about such a thing. In England the media, pundits seem to push for harsh penalties for such a things. Is it the same over there? Any Italians comments on the backlash on that?

Seen as foreplay over there.

Joke. What a dirty bastard. Wouldn't have had a problem with the other guy chinning him.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Right in the gob. Ugh.

Should be a lengthy ban for that. It's revolting.

Weird that the guy didn't wipe his face straight away.

 

[ZlatMan]

I remember Johnny Evans and Papiss Cisse get 6 games each for spitting. I wonder if Costa will get more.

 

[duffer]

Not sure how I'd react to someone doing that to me. Super disgusting.

 

[red4ever 79]

Not sure how I'd react to someone doing that to me. Super disgusting.

My reaction would come after the game, away from prying eyes. Seems to be a lot of tw@ts from Brazil lately, Neymar, Alves and Costa

 

[broccoli]

Let's not be too quick judging Costa here. Who knows what the other guy said/did to him. Some insults can get very personal sometimes. If i was black and another player called me a monkey or something I'd probably break his nose on the spot instead of spitting though.

 

[vangagal]

Carragher has find a follower worldwide. Congrats spatman.

 

[Acole9]

I read it as Diego Costa

So did I .

Again another assuming it's a racist comment because he is black. Which you guys would crawl back in your f*kin holes with your pre historic judgements

 

[buckooo1978]

one of the things I hate about football

that Sassulo player should be well within his rights to make a boy of Costa in the tunnel and give him a right few digs

unfortunately you have to be a victim or you'll get a ban yourself - the game is far too sanitised in some situations

absolutely disgusting from Costa

 

[Raees]

Is this usual for Douglas Costa? never associated him with that type of conduct.

 

[broccoli]

Again another assuming it's a racist comment because he is black. Which you guys would crawl back in your f*kin holes with your pre historic judgements

You have to be an hypocrite or very social unaware if you don't consider a racist remark as most probably insult on a black player. He's not particularly ugly nor fat so can't see how else he would get so pissed.

Fist to face is the only answer, I can tolerate a lot but if anyone ever spits at me never mind in my mouth then they’d be on the floor before they knew what hit them.

 

[spwd]

Dirty bastard!

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

In the interest of balance I'd like to hear what was said to cause that reaction, but regardless it's disgusting.

I hope Neville brings it up with Carragher tomorrow on MNF.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Zen like reaction, I would take aswing if someone spits in my mouth.

 

[IrishGlen]

The other bloke done well not to react in a fit of rage after that

This.

I don’t mean to come across as a keyboard warrior or condoning violence however in a competitive sporting environment with adrenaline pumping, it’s very surprising the other player didn’t react!

Don’t suppose this could be an UEFA ban rather than domestic and Costa could potentially miss the UCL tie(s)?

Go have a lie down then come back.

You are not handling it particularly well.

 

[Moriarty]

Not sure how I'd react to someone doing that to me. Super disgusting.

A smack in the mouth would be mine. Anyone that gobs in someone's face deserves a good shoeing.

 

[King.of.Red]

Still amazed how that guy was still able to control himself. Me, I will punch costa face even if I will be suspended/fined.

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

Yeah, I'd floor him. 5 game ban probably, no more, given the disgraceful level of disgusting provocation and you'd essentially be a **** figure among fans of all teams.

You are making a fool out of yourself. Di Francesco made a fascist gesture in 2016. Clearly there’s reason to speculate:

??

Of course not..

 

[adexkola]

Should be banned for a good amount of games. Wonder what provoked that though.

 

[kouroux]

Did the other player swallow it ?

Isn't saliva sterile... ish?

 

[Parry Gallister]

Isn't saliva sterile... ish?

Nah, that's piss, spit is full of germs, the human mouth is filth.

 

[JPRouve]

Nah, that's piss, spit is full of germs, the human mouth is filth.

Urine isn't sterile.

 

[TheReligion]

Disgraceful and assault.

10 game minimum.

 

[Hammerfell]

Weird that the guy didn't wipe his face straight away.

It went in his mouth, wiping his face isn't going to do much.

 

[MrEleson]

Isn't saliva sterile... ish?

Saliva can carry infectious viruses that cause glandular fever. Also, poor hygiene makes it less sterile. What if D.Costa doesn't brush his teeth for all we know? He seems brainless enough.

 

[Klopper76]

He threw an elbow in someone’s face after the spit. I think he lost it.

Huge ban incoming surely?

 

[IrishRedDevil]

In his statement on Instagram he says sorry to the Juve fans but doesn’t even say sorry to the player he spat on.

 

[Sayros]

Again another assuming it's a racist comment because he is black. Which you guys would crawl back in your f*kin holes with your pre historic judgements

Hey, it’s the guy who gets offended at suspicion of racism. Surely he doesn’t feel targeted himself, does he?

Get real, it’s far from the realm of impossibility that racism may be involved, especially in Serie A.

 

[enigmista]

ah the old racist question because he is black question. Love it. How about he reacted like that because he is a tw@t

It wouldn't be surprising if that was the reason.

 

[Parry Gallister]

I'd better stop going to those parties then
