YEP saying that Saiz (subject to any appeal) has got a mandatory six match ban for spitting Now I find spitting at someone a disgusting an awful thing to do and I do not want to appear to be condoning it in any way at all, but it does seem odd that a red card for violent conduct -a punch, an elbow a leg breaking foul- gets a 3 game ban and spitting gets double that
TO those out there who say they would prefer to be punched than spat at I would suggest you have never been punched !Yes spitting at someone is horrible and nasty but generally a quick wipe of the face (or in this case his shirt) and it is is sorted. A punch to the face and it could be a black eye or stitches and a permanent scar etc Whatever, the rules are there and I doubt we will appeal (there are stories that Saiz was tripped as he went back to the centre circle and /or he was elbowed and therefore the spit was retaliation) and I don't think we would win an appeal We now need two things - one Pablo to come to the party week in week out, and two Saiz to learn from it davePS it looks like the left back from Belgian is sorted (subject to medical) and the Japanese lad will get a work permit, but is still, somewhat surprisingly, going out on loan in Spain- to me if he can play in England he shoud do so, either for us if good enough now, or on loan in a lower league _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ FLAME WARS 'R US
