Just watched the headbutt, literally cms in front of the official?!
And a proper one, not the Rashford brush of heads.

In England, his afternoon's work would probably get him some sort of 6-10 game ban combined.

Elbow + Headbutt + Spitting : the perfect combo :lol: 10 games incoming and it will be well deserved.

How can you not react after that and punch him in the head? Well done to that guy.

Deserved two reds in today's game, first for elbow and then for spitting. Hopefully he'll get around ten games, anything below that would be criminal. What a cnut.

Was that two yellows or a yellow then a straight red? The referee deserves some time on the sidelines too if he thought any of that was yellow card worthy.

Costa received a yellow before the spit, and then a straight red for the spit. He should have had two straight reds.

What a total wanker. Deserves everything he gets. Spitting is one of the lowest places you can go. Deserves a long ban.

To add more drama to this situation, the victim Federico di Francesco (who actively provoked the gullible Costa), is the son of the title challenging Roma manager Eusebio.

Terrible, should get a huge ban not just for that but the whole incident. Be funny if Neville brings it up tomorrow in the studio next to Carragher :D

Ridiculous. He should be banned for a very long time. Disgusting behavior.

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. It would be on every news outlet front and back pages for the rest of the week. Is it the same over there? Any Italians comments on the backlash on that?

Looking at that footage, the elbow, the headbutt and the spitting, should be at least an 8 game ban.
