I think even bans is right in the context of Cisse's behaviour being obviously worse, but he was much more apologetic. And Evans behaviour wasn't as bad but he didn't apologise for it.
the 2 factors nett out evens for me
The OP's point is valid(apart from the nepotism claim)
Cisse admitted guilt and reason for his action whilst Evan denied it, was found guilty and both got the same punishment
There is no going back now and Evans ban wont be increased.
To all Utd fans regardless of if you think Evans did it or not, surely you have to agree ignoring your obvious bias, that after the FA found him he had to get a longer ban
Its ludicrous that they both got the same punishment, clearly admitting guilt makes absolutely no difference whatsoever, no wonder Evans denied it
PS: and to all comments claiming the OP is turning the incident into a racial thing, the OP never once mentioned race
I've only just seen the video. I'm amazed he appealed to be honest.
If you spit at the exact time you are having a fight with another player then obviously people are going to think it's a deliberate attempt to spit at that player.
Spitting can sometimes be an unconscious act, accidental as you shout a word out in anger. Evans incident doesn't look like that though, it looks like a knowing spit.
Either he was aiming for Cisse, or he chose a really weird and silly time to clear his mouth.
If it's the latter then he has been a little silly and a little unlucky, but the moral is don't spit anywhere when you are arguing with another player.
In court, if you admit to your wrongdoings, you almost always get a reduced sentence or fine, why should it be different in football?
We see more and more racist articles on this forum. Needs to be cut out.
As for Evans, what he did was clearly deliberate imo. But for him and Cisse to get lengthy bans whilst in the same round of fixtures Alan Hutton viciously and deliberately studs a man in the nuts is just not right imo. For all the talk I've seen here that they'd rather be on the end of a rotten tackle than be spat at, I call BS. There's no doubt about what will leave the longer lasting effect.
On an aside, it was interested to see how all and sundry in the media were suddenly United in calling for the length of bans for spitting to be increased still further. I wonder if it's a coincedence that this collective brain storm came about when a Man United player was involved....
