Papiss Cisse was banned for seven games for his part in the spitting storm that also involved Manchester United defender Jonny Evans.
Evans himself is facing a ban of six matches if found guilty after the Football Association charged both men.
The incident came during United’s 1-0 win at Newcastle on Wednesday night when the pair spat at each other following a first-half tangle.
CISSE WILL MISS...
Everton (a), March 15
Arsenal (h), March 21
Sunderland (a), April 5
Liverpool (a), April 13
Tottenham (h), April 19
Swansea (h), April 25
Leicester (a), May 2
This might also endanger Newcastle’s 11th place in the premier league table standings.
However, most fans believe this 7 match ban to be unfair on grounds of racism, with the knowledge that other players who have committed such atrocities against FA code of conduct got a lesser punishment.
Here is one of the comments from Facebook.
