He is a bit of a dopey fecker to be fair. He might not have realised he was spitting at Cisse whilst aiming at the floor.

Plus it's just so out of character for him.

What a fecking muppet Evans is...of course he spat at Cisse it's as clear as day so his statement is bollox. Fact is Cisse wouldn't have spat if Evans hadn't.

3 match ban for both but it should be 4 for Evans.
Not that I agree with such reasoning, but what about kick out from Cisse then?

I actually think it was a 'trying to look hard by spitting on the floor to cover up that I'm actually a little scared' act. A reflex action. I don't think it was more than that, to be honest. I said in the other thread: Evans is always spitting.

I think Evans meant to spit very close to him but past him. He's just a crap shot. I think he'll get 3 games? Cisse will get more since he obviously deliberately spat at Evans.

Isn't the kick out by cisse as disgusting? What is he doing waging his boot at Evans?

The kick out that didn't connect that was a reaction to Evans tackle. Meanwhile Evans reacts to the failed kick out with a kick of his own followed by the spit to which Cisse wrongly reacted to.

Still got Evans ahead on the fault stakes in my book.

Agreed. He spat at Cisse but missed it. Lot of red tinted glasses in this thread.

It was only by default he got back in the team anyway, not beyond the realm of possibility we'll never see him play for the first team again.

Wow, I thought this was nothing while watching the match but the video is absolutely damning. Clearly the kick angers Evans and he starts to yell and spits at him before turtling away. Really poor behavior from a senior player. He deserves the punishment which I'm sure will be swift and harsh.

So essentially "But Miss, he started it!".

Both will be found guilt.

6 game ban is utterly insane though, considering Suarez only got 8 for racial abuse, and Terry got 2 less.

6 matches is ridiculous when you compare it against Suarez's racism and biting.

Didn't George Boyd get a mere 3 match ban for spitting against Man City?
Although I thought that was harsh, and a tiny bit of spit came out when he was busy using the f bomb!
Everything is ridiculous when compared to everything else though...

Drug users go to prison, drunk drivers walk free. Footballers earn all the monies, policemen earn none...

Well Cisse started the whole fecking episode so if he hadn´t done that nothing would have happened. No ban for Evans

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't mean to spit on / near him.
Hes still an idiot for spitting within a million miles of him and deserves whatever ban he gets.

Yeah, but I was talking about league games, as Top 4 was topic.
Well he did play against Leicester and outside these last two games he's been atrocious. This ban if it does happen couldn't come at a worse time when he's finally playing better and when he's in a fight for his United career.

It looked to me that evans saw cisse getting up as he was spitting and sort of spat half heartedly to stop it going on him .

Obviously that won't wash with the fa !

6 game ban and maybe another 40 on top because he plays for United

Yes
7? :lol:

So found guilty of racial abuse = 8
Found guilty of spitting near somebody = 7

Whilst I don't condone spitting at people, whether in their face or vaguely near them, thats a bit fecking stupid is it not. I surely can't be the only one that thinks this is all just a bit over the top.

The 8 should be more. I Chelsea's fans are banned from the ground for life for racial abuse why isn't their captain?

7 matches is crazy... but claiming he didnt mean to spit on him is equally as crazy.
