The rules are clear. Intent (which is subjective anyway) doesn't come into the equation. It was high, reckless and could have seriously harmed an opponent. Red card.

If the 3 game ban gets overturned, farcical would be an understatement.

Genuinely, I would love to know what supporting evidence they have to justify their decision to appeal.

This is what the Law currently says:
"Serious foul play: A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."
There really is no doubt.....

Personally I think that if one player injures another and is guilty of 'serious foul play' as Mane clearly is, the length of the ban should be the same time as the injured player is unavailable for selection. The odd six month ban might put a stop to such dangerous tackling.

There has to be a minimum ban, malicious intent or not.
Then perhaps your suggestion if there were degrees of
Adam thug intent.

Are we suggesting that the 'Adam' should be adopted as the international standard of malicious tackles?

1 'Adam' is a definite booking.

2 Adams' is a final warning involving the ref pointing at the tunnel to the dressing rooms.

3 'Adams' is anything worthy of a sending off made up of 2 X 1 'Adams'

4 'Adams' is a straight red card.

5 'Adams' is any challenge against a Spurs player.

An 'Adams Family' is anything above a '2' allied with being imprisoned.

I'd suggest a Charlie for a yellow, an Adam for a red and a Charlie Adam for a straight red.

"That tackle's a definite Charlie there, Rob. Don't like to see that."
"That's another Charlie, Dave. He's going to get an Adam now."
"**** me Cyril, that's a real Charlie Adam. Three match ban, for certain."

Anything so bad as to warrant imprisonment is a 'Charlie & Tony'?

An Adam Suarez/Terry is an Adam combined with
racially offensive language directed on pitch
at the victim before/after the basic Adam.
 
Woy looks his age in that picture. I respect him as a decent man and I respect his undoubted love for the game, but
the energy needed to manage a PL club these days, is not the role for a 70 year old.
 
Chelsea already 1-0 up.

My choice of game tonight is down to who is commentating. I think I just heard some foreign commentator called Steve McManaman on the Chelsea game, so that one's a write off.
