The Bournemouth player will get a 5 game ban for that. Ibra I think will also get a ban, even if it was seen, it was violent conduct, and it was pre meditated. They will take into account that he was provoked, so i think a one or two game ban, but he has to be banned for that.
Ibra will depend on the ref's report - Friend was looking right at him when it happened so hard for him to claim he didn't see it. Pretty sure the rules say a player can only be retrospectively banned if the ref can't see the incident properly, like through a crowd of players. Same happened in the Palace match IIRC. Say what you will about Zlatan, during his long and distinguished career he's learned how to get away with murder
But the ref must have seen Ibra - he was talking to him and Rooney for ages. As for Mings stamp - a couple of hours later in any High Street - the old bill see that and he's nicked. Disgraceful.
Pretty sure there is precedent, Even if they ref saw it, he obviously didnt see it properly. Cant see him getting away with that these days. Like I said, they will take the provocation into account, but he will get a 1 or 2 game ban imo. It was violent conduct, and patently pre-meditated
I think the Premier League will care. Mings will get a 3-5 game ban, of that I am certain. Why would you care what anyone else thinks? **** em.
If I done that in the street I would get arrested and charged so why can players get away with it on a football pitch when they are surrounded by police. No wonder some footballers think they can do what they like
I think you might be watching the wrong sport, maybe Bowls would be more your cup of tea. Mings did NOT stamp on his head on purpose, I HIGHLY doubt it. He was clumsy and ****ing stupid, and deserves a ban because his recklessness could have seriously injured another player. But if you think for one second Mings thought "Right, Am gonna stamp on this ****s head and brain him.....!" then you need help.
Are you effing mad - it was as blatant a deliberate stamp as you could find anywhere. That's just as stupid as saying John Terry isn't a racist thug
