Qu'elle surprise. 4 bans in one year? I think he's earnt the nickname ASBO.

17 out of 52 weeks he'll have missed this year

Smooth moves.

Do I detect the faintest whiff of sarcasm in this thread?

How many times do you have to ban this git before he gets the message. There should be a trigger point before a larger ban is introduced. Like say 5 bans of more than 2 weeks in a 12 month period you should get banned for the next 12 months. That should act as a severe enough consequence for the thugs that stalk our game.

England players don't get big bans.

I'll admit, I can't really tell if you are being serious or not.

Care to show me the light?
