So is anyone else expecting the two Covidiots Greenwood & Foden to receive a considerable ban by the FA ?
I guess not many given the ridiculous inconsistencies seen, depending on what club these people play for.
Dier for example, although agree was an idiot, gets a lengthy ban for his indiscretions, yet we still await any action being dished out to McGuire, whose's indiscretions far exceeded Dier's. Chris, the guy now has a criminal record, yet nothing has happened, and I am sure he will play as soon as Utd's fixtures commence. And then there is Walker ( twice a Covidiot ) again no action taken by the FA)
So, what about these two today ? both at the favored Manchester clubs, so perhaps a mild slap on the wrist for what is a major embarrassment for England officials ?
The decision making of footballers sometimes takes your breath away, yet they will continue to act like morons as long as they know they can get away with it.
Even more irritating given the attention Greenwood received for being picked by England, and that's how he repays them. Southgate must be fuming.
Player ban inconsistency.

There's quite a bit of irony in the fact that the FA are allowing Dier to play for England but not domestic football for a while.

I'm not sure what's inconsistent here. Completely different incidents anyhow. Dier went into the crowd and deservedly got banned. Maguire if found guilty, was away on his own personal holiday, away from football and likely will be punished by the courts, not the FA. The other two, it only just happened and therefore punishment if any, will not be dealt with yet.

Dele Alli posted a short vid on insta and got banned.
Whether on your own personal time and on holiday or not, the FA's judgement on bringing the game into disrepute is pretty broad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And his offence wasn't punished by courts but by the FA who have a specific law relating to his offence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. Hopefully they have a specific law relating to Maguire's offence. I think there could be such a law tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it will probably be something generic like bringing the game into disrepute. If he's found guilty of course.

You’ve had a mare here Steve
For a start Maguire hasn’t got a criminal record.

The players knew they'd only get a slap on the wrists. That's why they did it - the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Honestly it’s quite embarrassing reading the OP, to know I’ve got something in common with the small number of melts on the Spurs board is quite worrying.

Dier should have been praised for standing up to abusive people. Took bottle to comfront people in defence of a friend/relative
