So sounds like a fine, a 3 match or more ban for Dembele, and that's about it. Looks like Lamela got away with stepping on Fibreglass's hand
Yep lamela got away with it. Like I said before.. there is absolutely no way the FA can prove intent.
It seems Lamela got away with it. :lamelashock:
They'll try and get Dembele done for 4/5 games it seems by the wording of the FA announcement.

That was straight out of River-Boca, that move.
So Fabregas was just flopping around like a fish because he's a shitc**t then....
Fitting he's played for Woolwich and Chavski.
I think they've stopped that tactic.
Dam it that would have been good.
Although this seems to contradict what I thought.

We shouldn't appeal as much as I love dembele what he did was just plain wrong man up accept and move on
Would it be worth it? iirc they add to the suspension for frivolous appeals.
I'd have thought we should give it a try then. What's the harm?
Edit: apart from extending the ban, naturally. Surely having Dembele against Southampton in our current position is easily worth losing him for a match/two matches extra next season.

I'd rather the games at the end of the season get taken into account than him serving a full five at the start of next season
For me it depends on the ban, 3 game ok but but it wasnt a biting incident or a punch, it was more similar to the Torres incident which he escaped punishment.
If it end up 10 game or whatever that would be completely disproportional.
He could get a 5 match ban turned into a 10. I agree with Paddy - take what's coming. He could ask for a hearing to point out Costa wasn't injured in any way. It clearly looked worse than it was.
I'd rather he play the rest of this season. Next year I am sure we will have one or more two powerful central midfielders more, our currently cover isn't suited.
Here's the players that "shamed football" according to the ever-lovely Daily Mail out having lunch today...
I can't see Toby in that picture.
