In a sense it's a little like cutting off the ponytail on a 60 year old guy - he shouldn't have his hair like that in the first place. Morally not a crime but .......
Graham Poll disagrees: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...s-season-surely-half-assault-Robert-Huth.html He would have given Huth three yellow cards for a foul that bad. Seriously tho, precedent was set last year, let's see if the FA can be consistent this time: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/morecambe-players-slapped-three-match-6296160
Fair enough if there's a precedent but seems crazy that it justifies the same ban as elbowing someone.
Don't anyone take this the wrong way but I do think dreadlocks shouldn't be allowed in professional football. Flaying dreadlocks must pose a risk of eye injury to other players.
True, but when were the FA ever consistent in their bans? You can get the same three match ban for a two footed leg breaking tackle if the FA are feeling lenient that week.
