Gabriel Charged?!

I wonder if they will reduce Gabby's original punishment by one match and then increase it by 1 match for improper so that Gabriel and Costa both end up with 3 matches.

Costa should get far more than 3 matches. That's the straight red ban equivalent yes. So surely Costa should have to serve a 3 man ban per red card offence plus one match for being an instigating troublemaker.

OK so the last match is a stretch but I don't see why Costa should get less than or the same as Gabriel when he's guilty of more red card offences. He really should be looking at 6 matches as a minimum. That might actually deter these antics in future. 3 matches isn't going to bother him or Chelsea one bit.

We shouldn't appeal Gabriel's sending off just the straight red not being a second yellow. The additional ban for poor conduct. No chance, he's got to take that one on the chin because he caused a right scene

How can Gabby be charged? He was given a red ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For taking a swing at Costa in the first incident. The fact he missed is the only reason it is improper and not violent.

Costa has provocation too or is Kos grabbing his shirt and arm not considered that?

Haha how can you apeap a charge when the ref saw it and he stamped on Costa

Ha hahha Arsenal fans

Thanks for the 3 points

the ref didnt see the Gabriel incident. He gave the red card after your first striker tw@t called for the refs attention.

Surely then Costa has four separate violent conduct charges then? If Gabriel is getting a charge for a slap that missed. Well 3 charges as he was booked for one offence. I don't see how Costa can get less than 6-9 matches here, given the charges against Gabriel.

Dont forget Costa cratching Gabriels neck
