Oh, for some reason I thought there used to be a date when you'd no longer get a ban for 5 yellows - didn't players used to get rested around Christmas specifically for that reason? Perhaps that rule changed long ago, apologies for any confusion.

At the risk of being pedantic, Bentancur's punishment is literally INFINITELY greater than Fernández's, seeing as seven times zero is the same as a trillion times zero - zero.

The FA are apparently holding off on punishing Enzo and are waiting for Fifa to do it for them.
Yeah they changed the rules after Silva to bring in the 6 to 12 week guideline in 2020.
I wouldn't be surprised if permission to play international games was contractually mandated in at least some of our players' contracts (Romero). I also wouldn't be surprised if Levy encourages players to play internationals, hoping to increase their marketing profile and thus their potential resale value.
If you're really trying to be competitive, you pay people to be available for you, not for someone else. It's definitely a less than serious approach to being truly competitive.
Gee can't wait. I'm sure some quiet bribe will fix it for sweet Enzo, as seems typical for the corrupt megarich these days... FIFA- great reputation for integrity lately, especially given the Qatar shit...
This is why so many people have fallen out of love with the beautiful game!
I wonder what Billy Nic would have made of it all!
I posted this in the Ipswich match thread but still sincerely believe it: we should have forbidden players to go based on fitness. If any national FA kicked off we'd send them match video as proof e.g. No way a fit player could play that pathetically
7 match ban and 100k fine , now official .
Just gets worse for this club honestly U can't make it up. Shambles F.C we are
It seems excessive to me. Three matches less than Suarez got for biting another player.
So he's back on boxing day for domestic games if my math is correct.
There’s no point complaining about the sanction, he deserved to be punished harshly. What he said was blatantly racist and showed a complete lack of respect for Son as a person. If I said that about a work colleague I would be fired instantly, he’s lucky that elite sport is so detached from reality.
The authorities picking and choosing which incidents to punish, that’s a separate issue.

And the time it took to hand out the punishment.
The interview was recorded in April-May. It aired in June.
Why did it take them to god damn November to hand out a punishment? This should have been done and dusted in early October.
Utter nonsense. Stupid what he said yes, but no malice behind it whatsoever. World gone mad when you have all the vitriol online and nothing being done about it. Priorities completely lost
Luckily for us he will be out for what is a quiet period for football , just the 9 games in December . At least he can play in Europe , ( I presume)
You just absolutely know that something will happen (again) like this in the near future and be treated entirely differently.
I expect teams of sharp suited lawyers charging by the hour were involved.
Think Suarez only got got fined 40 grand as well.
