Unlikely since he hadnt done it before and wasn't a repeat offender.
Which is fair enough. Viera had plenty of previous though and only got six games for spitting - and three of those for the actual sending off prior to it.

I'll be amazed if we don't appeal, but I still can't see the ban being reduced to less than the seven game ban he accepted for the first biting incident
Hahahaha.
Completely and utterly mad and yet not in the least unsurprising.
Cue Ross to tell us he's a fucking idiot who deserves it. I can't wait....
10 is harsh, but it's kinda what I expected. 6 would have been about right, but I think they must have taken into account his previous record. If anyone else had done it, it would have been6 at mostignored.
What you would theoretically do, which I largely agree with, isn't really relevant to the end result of the punishments the FA has handed out, and what valuations they seem to convey, which don't seem to follow any particular metric.
My comment was in reference to you saying that biting was worse than a bad tackle, because it was "disgusting".

It was more like Ajax gave him two then Dutch FA raised it to seven.Two of those games were bans imposed by his club I believe. Only 5 games were imposed by the Dutch FA
I'm going to sound mental but who cares; I wonder which teams we may face in the first six games of next season.
I can imagine the FA programming the computer with this added info as we speak!

So it's worse than ending someones career and income.He bit someone. You can laugh and joke about it, even try to play it down, but it's fucking disgusting behaviour and he deserves everything he gets.
No complaints here.

Gerrard should tell the FA to fucking stick the captains role and retire. They're blatantly taking the piss now, time our players started having knocks on the tuesday before England games and recover for us on the saturday. We've bent over far too many times for these cunts

Get a fucking grip.
I don't think anyone is playing down or disagreeing it's filthy behaviour and sure he deserves a ban, even more than 3 games. 10 games however is disproportionate in comparison with other incidents.
I agree with to an extent, but it would be spun back on him that he's supporting biting. No liverpool fans disputed he should be banned for what he did, but it had to be proportionate considering leg breaking two footers only get 3 games. So now they've gone massively over the top, surely there's some sort of gesture the players could make to the FA that's 'over the top'. Maybe all english players make themselves unavailable for the next england game?
But doesn't deserve a 10 fookin match banHe bit someone. You can laugh and joke about it, even try to play it down, but it's fucking disgusting behaviour and he deserves everything he gets.

No logic it's basic common sense.What's worse, downloading a DVD illegally or buying the DVD and beating the shit out of someone with it?
The same lack of logic applies in the real world to the severity of punishments

Well I think it is. Or at least a bad tackle that isn't dangerous, if such a thing exists. I don't think it's unreasonable that a certain subjectiveness should exist in law. All other things being equal, biting just 'seems' more disgusting to me (and IMO most people) than punching or kicking. It's more inhuman.
Just pretend for a second that I don't know anything about illegal downloads, legitimate DVD purchases or attacks with various media forms.What's worse, downloading a DVD illegally or buying the DVD and beating the shit out of someone with it?
