Evans/Cisse - Spitgate
- Thread starter Yorkeontop
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
They were repeating it over and over. Also they were stopping him doing something which covers further illegalities.
7 games for spitting... wow
If he would have broken his leg, he would probably get half of that.

7 games is way too much. Spitting doesn't get you incarcerated but biting someone, being a racist or headbutting someone might.
How come they get charged at all? The ref "sorted it out". What kind of a grey area are the FA working with here?

7 games 
Thats 3 more then Terry got for racial abuse, and only 1 less then Surarez. Mental.

I honestly don't rate Evans, so it's not terribly disheartening news. Still, it's pretty harsh.
Now watch Evans get 10 because he didn't admit it...
Where the feck did they pluck 7 from anyway?
God knows what Jonny will get, probably 22.5.

It's a long ban just for spitting, you could end someone's career and get less. I don't have anything against lengthy bans but they should at least be proportionate.
6 because of new rules, +.1 for being his second gross misconduct of the season.
They are following FIFA protocol, 6 games for spitting so fair enough. I just don't get how they can prove that it was intentional from Evans. It looks like he'll have no choice but to accept the ban.
Hopefully not that many, we don't want his ban to carry over into his Hull career.
What's the procedure anyway? I mean, if he's firm in his denial about intent to spit? In short, I want independent tribunal. 
George Boyd got 3 games for spitting earlier in the season, didn't he?
That was last season, I believe.
That's this season basically over, then.
What a crap night all round.
What a crap night all round.
He was our best defender yesterday by a country mile.
It will be a 3 game ban, I'm sure of it.
Has the standard ban increased since then?
That was last season. The FA changed it to follow FIFA guidelines at the start of this season.
Ah right. 6 games for that, relative to other bans, is utter nonsense.
Spitting: 75% worse than racism.
I don't think Evans was fully committed to really planting one on Cissee, but I have to say he did spit really close to him and and I'm sure some spray hit him. I guess there's no leeway as to the severity of the spit. I would say 3 matches would be fairer but I don't think the rule is flexible. I don't understand way Cissee wasn't punished for his initial foul. frankly, I thought that the officials made plenty of poor decisions.
I dont want spitters at my club, hard to understand why Evans would do that at that specific time. Deserves punishment.
How not to keep your job at United.
Idiot.

Farcical all round, this. Seven games is beyond silly.
This is beyond absurd... Think about this in Newcastle's perspective: You lose your best striker for basically rest of the season for this. Evans didn't injure himself or even anything close to it. I bet the FA will issue some bullshit "hurt the image of the game" .. memo out of this..
7 games fecking hell. Evans will probably get 6 games then.
I find spitting at someone absolutely vile but 6 games for it is too much

You would have thought he blinded him!!
Is spitting worse than a career threatening reckless challenge which generally gets a 3 match ban?
This season has been a disaster for Evans. He actually looked decent yesterday and now this..
According to Keown spitting is worse then biting someone because....its more deliberate and insulting
You couldn't make it up.

That doesn't mean that I have to rate him.
It terms of the example set to the general public yes, definitely. Mistimed tackles and injuries are unfortunately part of the game. Releasing body fluids in the general direction of a fellow professional is disgusting, and has nothing to do with competitive edge.
Even if Evans didn't mean to spit at him, I would argue that it's his responsibility to take more care not to spit at someone.
come on take you red glasses off, OK so he did not spit ON him , but he clearly spat AT him , there is no defence for his action , he knows he spat and should just admit it and take hin ban, sadly in all this the worst offender is the only one with balls to admit he was wrong.
Totally agree, I would of decked Evans. He knew what he was doing and is chatting poo. Cisse wouldn't have spat at him if Evans didn't spit first.
He is kind of right, you bite in something or someone because you find a tasty, it's flattering; and you can't control your taste, it can't be deliberate.According to Keown spitting is worse then biting someone because....its more deliberate and insulting
You couldn't make it up.
7 games is farcical. 3 seems about right with Evans getting 4, given he started it and has basically lied, where as at least Cisse came out with statement condemning what he did.
Double that to 20 because he plays for us.Now watch Evans get 10 because he didn't admit it...
What if he only dribbled, that's acceptable on a football pitch
He was on the field against Leicester, right ?You do realise my post was not mean't to be taken seriously?
