3 game ban for being involved in a two footed tackle by Jonny Evans

Don't understand why the fine is so high though

Don't know how Evans got away with that. Both should have seen red to be honest but the ref was too scared to red card a player rolling around on the ground.

Not really, he is just a terrible referee(best case scenario), Kyriakos was in serious pain after Fellainis two footed stamp on him but still got sent off.

No he wasn't. Soto just sat there - it was Fellaini that injured himself trying to break Soto's leg.

Wasn't Soto lying on the ground getting treatment on his shin?

I remember that put Fellaini out for a long time thankfully but I'm pretty sure Soto was hurt too?
 
I can't recall Soto getting any treatment. He pointed to the stud marks on his leg but didn't seem hurt, he just got up and walked off.

Can't find a YT video on it. Crikey weird at that angle it looks like Fellani did nothing :p

EDIT: Better view, Soto looked in pain after and still got the red

Awaiting the full report so I can understand why when John Terry is a racist it's less of a crime then when Suarez is a racist.

Just rewatched it on .tv. Soto's sitting up when the ref walks over and he didn't receive any treatment either.

Here's a youtube compilation of that game. Doesn't show much more of the Soto-Fellaini challenge but there's some other pretty tasty tackles in there. Pienaar's was a shocker and he only got booked.

And for those asking why he's only got a 4 match ban. It's a 2 match ban for using abusive language, it's then doubled if there's a mention of race, religion etc and can be further increased if there's other aggravating factors. In Suarez's case, his ban was increased because of it being such a high profile incident which brought embarrassment on the FA and because of the amount of times he said it (which seemed slightly dubious to say the least).

John Terry and Chelsea are small time so it's not really a high profile incident so that's not a aggravating factor and he was only accused of insulting Ferdinand once so that too isn't a factor to increase his ban.

Hmm. Makes sense, still awaiting the full report.

Source on any of that or is it just an educated guess?
