Six games was less than I thought that he would get, but it is still a long enough period of time so that it might put others off.

Six is about right. It's a nasty thing to do, even if it is towards Costa. There is no place for such actions in the game.

It's a shame we dont start bans for diving and simulation, as well as penalty area wrestling. That would cut it all out within a short time.

Six games is enough. It was a half hearted effort with his knuckle rather than the tips of his fingers after all.

I don't think anyone stops for a second before eye gouging/biting or whatever to ponder the potential ban system. It's a bit of red mist reaction.

I also don't think it was that bad to be fair , Costa is a drama queen who usually drops like he's been sniped from the stands yet he did even flinch . Also apparently Costa was nipping Dembele at the time so all limits off in my book .

Any news on the Simeone incident where he whacked that poor touch-line guy on the arm the other night ?? It was shown and repeated on TV and it's all over Google and uTube ..
How has this incident been overlooked ?!?!

It is totally irrelevant what Costa was doing, you simply cannot and should not do what he did.

It wasn't knuckles, as stated, but started with open fingers as if he was trying to scratch him. Just check all the stills of the incident. Whether he caused an injury or Costa's reaction has no bearing on the matter.

Yet neither of you commented on Simeoni whacking that poor old guy on the arm ??

Sad to hear the news of the death of Patrick Ekeng in Romania tonight. Collapsed on the pitch and died in hospital, he was only 26

Blimey.

Newcastle reject, and former Hull City loan player, Hatem Ben Arfa, is 'set to sign for Barcelona', on a free.

I heard that he'd been doing well in France, but that's some redemption!

He was linked with us a couple weeks ago. With his injury record and him possibly demanding high wages I'm not sure I'd take it but you could do worse for a free. And we have done worse.

Wow,that is very sad to read about.

26 is far too young to die, my sympathies go out to his friends and family.

Blimey.

He was always a talented player, just that I think it was a case of right player wrong club in terms of Newcastle and Hull.

Still a bit of shock if he does go to Barcelona, I don't quite know where he will fit in, but it will be a huge step up for him.

Oh, I don't know.

Liverpool are crying out for a small-ish, tricky, attacking midfielder. You've got virtually none of those.

Our treatment room is looking a bit lonely these days, too.

Surely it won't be long until that room sees it's number one patron in a certain Mr. D. Sturridge?

Tragically it seems the medical help was basically non-existent on the pitch which is very worrying/sad.

I've just seen the footage. It's shocking the lack of medical help. 2 men and that's it. Heartbreaking to watch.

It makes you think back to Muamba in the Cup, and the terrific help and speedy help that he got to save his life.

This is very sad indeed.

Yes, thank goodness there was expert help at hand when Fabrice collapsed.

FIFA should set a standard of care for all matches under its jurisdiction, so that things such as this tragic event do not happen, if they need to help financially to do so, well apparently they have a billion or so in the coffers, so put it to good use I say.
