Diego Costa

[Jase 43,479]

But...Costa does deserve this.

It's a contact sport but people are crying out over a minor tussle that wasn't even violent. The only dangerous thing he did, if you want to argue, was swinging the arm out on Koscielny. Otherwise, there wasn't much in it and certainly not when others have committed much worse offences.

[Jase 43,479]

There could be a ban like this after every match if this is a precedent FA wants to set. Players throw elbows and shove people around all the time and get no reds.

People talk about this all time but the FA has hardly given a crap about it. Only punish the player(s) involved if they want to. There's no consistency in what they do.

He gets it for slap a Koscielny face or push him few seconds later?

What they should do is hang,draw and quarter him then hang him upside down by his bollox and strip the skin from his back then stick him in a court of his peers which are provided by our own supporters chosen from here so you can stick him in a prison cell so he could make a ball from his bellybutton fluff. Maybe it would keep some moaning gits happy. Never heard so much codswallop.

violent striking or kicking or attempting it . Improper could be refusing to leave when sent off ,, or showing dissent even removing shirt as you walk off the pitch .. could

add an extra match to his red card ,, since red was 2 yellows .. could mean 2 match ban instead of one

Actually he was shown a straight Red so he was on a yellow then got a straight Red

It was Carzola who was 2 yellows

If Jose had said what Wenger said about Mike Dean he'd be banned as well

[robsblubot 3,595]

All this from poor refereeing - Reactive and card happy.

Gabriel in my view did not deserve red and neither does Costa a ban. The incidents were minor! Will Costa get a ban for being annoying now?!

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Expected and deserved really.

[empire of emotions 247]

come on guys, it's costa who we are talking about. not even a one year ban would change him...he's just that kind of person.

[Muzchap 8,966]

What about Sterling punching someone last season - nothing happens

Aguero stamp - nothing happened

That's what fucks me off - the inconsistency

Matic getting red - Barnes tackle getting nothing or retrospectively

It's just complete bullshit

If the media get behind it the FA fold like cheap whores finding a bag of coke...

Angers me!

I demand consistency

I can't believe there are people on here who think he doesn't deserve ban. Be happy if he doesn't get Suarez treatment afterwards. He is on the verge of getting it. Rightly so. People should watch football when they watch Chelsea, not his antics, slappings in the face and pushovers.

This was coming ... Nothing surprising ...

What I'm worried is going forward referees wouldnt believe into Costa's antics (not that they do now but he has managed to get quite a few in his favor) and when there is a 50-50 situation the decision would go against us which will instigate Costa further into during something stupid ...

Couldn't have said it better myself

Also are actually people suggesting he should get a 5 matches ban? smh

[Thendo 1,088]

Not suprised. Could've been worse tho, we should be ok with Falcao and Remy in the matches he will miss.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Better for him to get a ban now then get sent off in a game.doubt change much but does need to calm down a lot!it's been coming
