Cissé and restropective action

never understood this, so basically another club gains an advantage whilst we gain a disadvantage

stupid rule really, if he didn't get caught in the match i'd prefer it if no club got an advantage, just let the snide continue to play and in exchange we can have messi or ronaldo on loan for 1 game
 
They say it never rains but it pours. Always seems to be the case in footie. When you're on a bad run of form it does seem as if the luck and refereeing decisions tend to go against you.
It also seems that when you're on a good run the ball bouces kindly and the ref mistakes go in your favour.

Ok we are playing badly. But the failure to send off players at city, stoke and yesterday has cost us at least 7 points. Don't think we would have beat city. Well they say decisions even themselves up over the course of the season so we can we please have decisions go our way against the RS, city and Chelsea please.

Not forgetting at sunderland, even though we did get the penalty the failure to show the red card was unfathomable.
 

Would it have been any different if he'd have beheaded one of our players after the ref had wrongly sent off one of our players but the ref didn't see him beheading our fella, then went on to score a double hat trick thus single-handedly winning the game for Newcastle?

Would we have a shout of having the game replayed, or would Martinez praise Cisse's phenominal beheading skills?
 
The game may well have turned out differently if Cissé had have been rightly sent off, but getting a result yesterday would have most likely just been a case of papering over the cracks. Something is badly wrong.
 
On BBC -
Newcastle's Papiss Cisse charged with violent conduct by the FA for incident with Everton's Seamus Coleman
 
If the circs had been reversed and Everton were getting the 3 points because a man was not redded, this thread would not exist. Get over it.
 

Doesn't mean anything now. 1-0 down with 10 men might have made it easier for us at the time. Now, even if he's banned for 3 games, they will have time to make preparations for those 3 games. They got the 3 points so they'll still be feeling pretty pleased with themselves whatever the outcome.

So, the FA decide to retrospectively ban Cissé. Newcastle lose him for three games but still keep the 3 points in a game where Cissé scored their equalizer and was handy afterwards.

Would it be fairer to play the game again, or disallow goal(s) or goals where the banned player had an assist?

I know you could argue that we were woeful and probably didn't deserve anything out of the game, but take Cissé out the equation, and Newcastle down to ten men, and a goal down, we may well have got an important win that may or may not have injected some confidence that the team is desperately short of.

Thoughts?

They should have to play the next game against us with 10 men to compensate. As it stands the teams getting the benefit from this are Burnley, Leicester and Chelsea.

These teams would have benefited anyway had he been red-carded at the time so nothing is changed in this respect. The only beneficiaries were Newcastle who miss his services for 3 games instead of 3.66 games and as such they are probably 3 pts better off.
 
I understand the frustration, but the intent behind the rule is not to benefit an opposing team, but to punish the player.

The 3 game suspension does that.
