Alan Green early, paraphrasing, said kicking, head butting and forearms to the face (his actual words, forearms to the face) where unacceptable but 'part of football' before going on to spout some other shite.
I can't understand how anyone who has spent any time thinking about it, rather than getting swept up in the Daily Mail style communal moral outrage, really think a bite is worse than a forearm in the face?
I can only assume that the precedent has been set and a third act of violent conduct in a career will mean a 4 month ban. Given Pepe's history of assaulting other players he'll have to be very careful.
