Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

[Sumlit]

That's more like it

 

[Flavia]

They're all just guessing. I think maybe they'll give him 3 games, but after rm appeals, it'll be reduced to 1 game.

The refereeing panel can ask the ref if he wants to reopen his report (having seen the video) and he can change it.

If the ref doesn't change his report and Cordoba don't complain (Cordoba won't complain and the player he hit has already said, "these things happen, it's no big deal") then the disciplinary panel are unlikely to change the charge. Basically it's a hitting out without intent to injure charge.

The standard for the offence as described by the ref is probably two matches. The panel may up it to three if they review the whole incident, but it's unlikely to go higher than three even if they include the earlier offence.

Man it's really interesting to see Tina's character come out after its revealed Irina is banging the Rock.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Anything less than two matches is just blatantly obvious corruption.

 

[Chainsaw]

MD saying he will get 12 games!!!

COPE says that he'll get a 1 game ban.

Pretty tight.

 

[Neymessi]

12 games is not gonna happen.The only thing I want is him out of the madrid derby.

I feel 4/5 is fair, 6 or more is harsh, 3 is the absolute minimum and anything below that would be disgracefull.

I agree, anything below 3 games is scandalous. He literally punched and kicked the guy at the same time.

I hate this convenient ruse Spanish FA has of only relying on the referee report. Just wilfully regressive and backward. All the European leagues should be looking at the MLS for inspiration, but the first step is to accept that referees are human and can make mistakes or miss things. No one benefits from this roundabout way of supporting the referee by only sticking with his report. It is better to accept mistakes and favour justice rather than provide unwarranted moral support for its employees. Can they not see how their actions have the potential to reflect poorly not just on themselves, but also on their country?

Relying on the ref allows them to let ronaldo to get off easier. He slapped a Bilbao player last year, punched Godin, and now TWO punches in the same match. Factoring his past offenses would land him like 8 matches in another league but Reals influence on the ref and league in general will ensure he only gets three matches. If he gets 5 or more I'll change my avatar to shirtless Ronaldo flexing.

Quoted in case you try to delete.

Lol I'll gladly suffer through that if he gets that long a ban. Also, I'd do it only for the duration of his suspension.

 

[KingMessi]

This look suits the Thugnaldo personality he seems to be creating now.

 

[André]

12 is hard indeed, the best is 3 to miss the Atleti game. More than 3 would be awesome though. i want messi to win the trophy, something that seemed impossible

 

[Deco 20]

5-10 would be fair, given that he hit two different players and is a repeat offender. 10 might be a bit much, but 5 or 7 games would be just right.
