Austrian player amateur player Ismail Gunduz banned for 70 matches for nutting a ref http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29110418 bit steep or appropriate? Definitely much much more severe than any punishments previously given seems a bit over the top to me especially as the ref probably provoked it if he was anything like some of the ones we get
To be honest he should be banned for life. No excuse for it regardless of how aggrieved he was at the ref.
Re: had it been Gary Willard, I woulda nominated him for a Knighthood I'd go with being banned for life, so no it's not too harsh
Re: had it been Gary Willard, I woulda nominated him for a Knighthood I read somewhere he claimed he didn't do it on purpose, he slipped!
Re: had it been Gary Willard, I woulda nominated him for a Knighthood i put this on a few days ago and said about players having accidents on the pitch
