Seems both Fellaini and Huth have been banned for three games for elbowing and hair pulling.

3 games? Seems excessive, especially for Huth.
Makes you wonder what Dembele will get. |

Makes you wonder what Dembele will get. The regulations provide a scale of seriousness: Lower end: up to 12-week ban. Mid range: up to 18-week ban. Top end: greater than 24-week ban. The maximum sanction is a 156-week (3 year) ban. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye-go...rugby_union%29 Quote:
Yeah I thought that, about Huth at least. I mean thought that about Fellaini but could sort of understand, not hair pulling.

Three games is mad for Huth
Do these bans apply for International or only domestic matches? Huth will only miss opening game of the season if so Dembele will definitely get a big stretch |

The Germany defender will be available to play in the season-opening Community Shield match. |

How do they come to the conclusion that Huth and Fellani's actions were as bad as each other?

It might seem overly harsh for Huth, but then again since when is hair pulling part of the game?

It's not dangerous nor causes injury so it seems excessively harsh.
Hair pulling is not part of the game, nor should it be, so anything that helps to get it out of the game, the better I say. |

Does a punishment have to based on the severity of the injury?

This doesn't justify Fellani's reaction however before anyone suggests that I feel it does, |

It could have been if he pulled some clumps of hair out. He shouldn't have done it. It's about time the antagoniser was punished equally.

I really dislike Fellini, he is a prolific cheat. Elbowing is very dangerous, he is lucky he has not seriously hurt anyone.

A 3 game ban is the standard for violent conduct and that covers a fairly wide spectrum of things. It's rare for it to be anything but that. Can remember Ben Thatcher, Suarez and now possibly Demebele getting more, and I think a Chelsea player in the last year or two successfully argued one down to 2 games which migh've been a first, but other than that they're almost always for 3. Edit: The Chelsea one was Matic against Burnley from last season. |
