Sort of. Don't know why Cisse got banned for 1 more game than Evans got.Is anyone else more annoyed at the Cisse's ban than the Evans one?
It was because he's already been banned this season.Sort of. Don't know why Cisse got banned for 1 more game than Evans got.

Because he was banned in December for elbowing Evertons Coleman.Sort of. Don't know why Cisse got banned for 1 more game than Evans got.
Oh I see, felt like I missed something in this.It was because he's already been banned this season.
Err not really my train of thought. He got the extra game because he had already been suspended this season.Sort of. Don't know why Cisse got banned for 1 more game than Evans got.
That sucks. Now I feel annoyed about this, too.Err not really my train of thought. He got the extra game because he had already been suspended this season.
I think Cisse could have had a more positive impact on our season than Evans.
The games Cisse misses include Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Apparently we are "ON A COLLISION COURSE" with the FA. Louise Taylor is really bad at writing/making sense.Van Gaal will know the loss of Evans, a key component of his often less than convincing defence, is hardly going to enhance Manchester United’s Champions League ambitions. If the Dutchman is unlikely to be left quite as publicly apoplectic as Sir Alex Ferguson might have been in similar circumstances, Van Gaal’s sense of grievance about the FA’s fast-track system of justice should not be underestimated. If United fail to finish the campaign in the top four and miss out on involvement in next season’s Champions League, the repercussions of Wednesday night’s confrontation can expect to be cited, repeatedly, in mitigation.
I saw it live, saw the replays, looked at the gif again, I still don't think he was spitting at Cisse, although the action of spitting near him is pretty bad, and he will probably be punished if they charge Cisse. He spat out of instinct as he was getting up, like most footballers do. He wasn't thinking, but he also wasn't intentionally being nasty.
Would much prefer to be racially abused than spat on. Hell, I'd laugh and join in of someone was taking the piss out if me for being an Aussie, but if someone spat on me I would rage.What that we would rather be verbally abused than spat at? I think everywhere apart from on this forum would agree with that, I personally think its bonkers, and simply ignorance of people not realizing how serious spitting can actually be! Words are words, they are horrible but dont compare to physical violence.
Depends on the level of racism.Would much prefer to be racially abused than spat on. Hell, I'd laugh and join in of someone was taking the piss out if me for being an Aussie, but if someone spat on me I would rage.
I really don't think I could take it seriously.Depends on the level of racism.
Me too mate, but for white races racism isn't a serious problem because we are barely on the end of racism abuse and we don't have a history of hundreds of years being oppressed (which still continues on lower forms) by people of an another race. So, I guess there is a change on who is the victim of racial abuse.Would much prefer to be racially abused than spat on.

That article must be a WUM, a key component of our defence .Manchester United are on a collision course with the Football Association after the governing body refused to accept Jonny Evans’s denial that he spat at Newcastle United’s Papiss Cissé.

No it seems a lot on here would rather be spat on!That's why it's silly is someone ask you that question, same with me, and I guess great majority of RedCafe.
This is true some races will feel it more than others and may not be able to just laugh it off. I have still yet to meet anyone in reality though who would rather be spat on than abused verbally though.Me too mate, but for white races racism isn't a serious problem because we are barely on the end of racism abuse and we don't have a history of hundreds of years being oppressed (which still continues on lower forms) by people of an another race.

I suppose you could just do a John Terry and do both.No it seems a lot on here would rather be spat on!
Genuine question to those surprised that it's a longer ban than Terry got, what would you find more offensive, someone spitting on you or someone calling you a racially based name?
I dont think you are, to me its basic common sense.I'd rather be called the n word, than someone to spit at me. If someone used a racial slur against me, which has happened many a time, I would just call them back something else, but to have some one spit on me, Jesus, someone is gonna be knocked out in five minutes. I may be in the minority with this (no pun intended) but no way would I rather words over actual spit in my face, with that said, I'd rather both than someone breaking my leg.
It depends dosen't it? I mean, out and about in the street, I would rather be called a racial slur. I've been fairly fortunate in life that I've never really been subjected to that much racism... there's been a few names here and there, some reverse racism too, but generally I just laugh it off as complete morons being complete morons. However, there was once - when I was like 13/14, I was down South with family in a quite nice (and, albeit very non-ethic place) - and some guy spat on my back. I didn't realise it at the time, but when it got pointed out to me - I pieced it together with some guy and girl who walked passed me and kept turning and laughing - and, long story short, that is an "attack" that made me feel worse then anything else I've experienced - so much so that I never talk about it when I'm involved in a conversation about racism - I generally just like to pretend it never happened.Genuine question to those surprised that it's a longer ban than Terry got, what would you find more offensive, someone spitting on you or someone calling you a racially based name?
Fantastic post, well said.It depends dosen't it? I mean, out and about in the street, I would rather be called a racial slur.

BUT, the thing is - at a place of work, which is a safe environment, and where you're meant to be amongst peers - I would much, much rather be spat on then being subjected to racist abuse. Which might sound in complete contrast to the above paragraph - but, in my mind, if someone at work was racist to me, that would be singling me out as inferior/different, in an environment where I expect to be respected as equal... where as spitting at me would just be a generic (yet, incredibly gross attack) that they could do to anyone... and, after a while, I could possibly put down to a heat of the moment thing, as opposed to racism, which is indicative of a state of mind.
Just my two cents though.
Everything except actual gates.Does literally everything get the -gate suffix nowadays?

Have you played sport? It's a natural reaction, 99% of the time, the players don't know they are doing it.Given the length of the bans imposed on both players, it might be a good idea if managers banned their players from spitting at all during matches. If you don't spit, there's no ambiguity about where you were, or were not, "aiming".
Personally, I think spitting anywhere in public is disgusting. The same goes for the practice of holding one nostril shut and blowing snot out of the other.
Yes.Have you played sport? It's a natural reaction, 99% of the time, the players don't know they are doing it.
What else do you expect them to do with the build of of phlegm/mucus that accumulates as you play high intensity sport? Run to the sideline for a hanky?Given the length of the bans imposed on both players, it might be a good idea if managers banned their players from spitting at all during matches.

It's easy being brave down a phone line, he wouldn't have dared say it in the studio with Maysie and Norman Whiteside there. Big man.Piers Morgan needs to be fired off the planet.
I'd disagree with that. The extent of spitting in the game is a relatively modern phenomena ie if it was so natural it would have always occured. A lot of the time it's completely unnecessary in my opinion.Have you played sport? It's a natural reaction, 99% of the time, the players don't know they are doing it.
Or in the direction of our Australian brethren. Has it tried plying his trade there yet?Piers Morgan needs to be fired off the planet.
An art perfected by our own Choccy McClair if I'm not mistaken.Given the length of the bans imposed on both players, it might be a good idea if managers banned their players from spitting at all during matches. If you don't spit, there's no ambiguity about where you were, or were not, "aiming".

No, its a habit, and a disgusting one at that. Can you imagine if basketball and indoor sports courts were covered in spit? They dont do it there because they could slip on it and its more visible. They need to swallow, not spit.Have you played sport? It's a natural reaction, 99% of the time, the players don't know they are doing it.
