Diego Costa

Not surprising knowing the FA.

Good, so from now on players can kick each other without being red carded..well unless you're a Chelsea player, then you will get a 6 match ban.

Dude take off your blue tinted glasses, You can hardly count that as a kick. FA was right.

Here is a reverse camera of the incident. https://streamable.com/qk8p?t=38.1

Shocker.

On the plus side, the next 3 games of Walsall, Newcastle and Southampton(?) should be winnable without him. It's not like he does anything other than fight nowadays anyway.

What was it then? What was his intention? A kick is a kick, hard or not.

Where's that post that claims Costa is better than Lewandowski? You watching?

not much difference .. Lewandowski can score 5 goals in 7 minutes ,, But Diego can get in more than 5 fights in that time

Point1- Diego Costa lashes out at LK that does not get seen by any official what so ever, days later he is banned for 3 games.

Point2- Gabriel is yellow carded for an incident with Costa where he is warned and told to walk away. Gabriel walks away but in the mean time kicks Costa, to which Mike Dean misses the incident but immediately asks the official on his ear-piece what went on, the official says he kicked out and he's then sent off.

Point3- So between point 1 and point 2 Mike Dean has not seen any of these, he has to consult his official for clarification on one, the one that was flagged up was seen as clear as day, but the culprit is cleared.

Now I am not for one minute saying Costa is not guilty, the rules state you cannot raise your hands, and on video review he has been found guilty. What we are looking for here is total consistency and a level playing field from both official in game, and the FA. What the fucking hell is the point of a linesman/fourth official if something is seen as plain as day and the culprit gets away with it? In all this, Mike Dean is as guilty as fucking day for not doing his job and the FA have had do it for him, that for me points the finger directly at him and he should as well be punished massively.

That official statement is a joke. It was a lazy way to support the player. "We are very disappointed."

Come on, the ban was pretty fair. Discussing this subject is as silly as discussing Eva Carneiro leaving the club. The team won't even be affetcted by his abssence.

Did I say the ban wasn't fair?

The level of refereeing is pretty crap these days.Its like in European games with officials behind goals yet still miss events right in front of their faces.

You said you are losing your love for football. Means you think that was unfair.

Too busy reading from a manual that's why.

"Here lads go and officiate that game will you, if you do a shit job we will step in and do it for you"
