Should Johnson be banned?

[Slugger]

Just watched it again on Blades player and ther's absolutely no doubt it was a deliberate elbow. He knows exactly where Cressy is and after he's done him he's jogged away without looking around. It even looks like Johnson has got his range with 1 elbow and nailed Cressy with the other!

I'm not that clued-up when it comes to the rules regarding video evidence but I thought that since the ref took no action against Johnson then a ruling on violent conduct can be made and a ban given???

Are you able to post the video for those of us that are too tight to pay for Blades Player?

 

[Slugger]

I've just had a go at posting it but no luck. Maybe someone else knows how to?

Exactly right slugger if the ref doesn't issue a card the FA can apply an indefinite ban not just 3 games .The club should not let him get away with it ,take action and send the video in that type of deliberate damage and scarring to Cresswell should be seen by the FA for quick action!

i dont think he should be banned for the elbow ,i think someone should go in crystal next friday night and knock his fucking head off

 

[Blade]

i was astounded the referee actually gave them a free kick for it. and that bastard is doing the cup final! how on earth could anyone see it and decide it's their free kick?

I have seen the incident on BBC Sports and I am disgusted.....as mentioned above he leads with his left and finishes Cressy with his right elbow...truly disgusting !

No. Looks like it just could have been an accident.

Put your specs on Peter. That was a deliberate jab of the elbow as he was falling backwards. He knew exactly what he was doing. It will be so good to see him and his colleagues relegated.

according to the disciples of chairman lee ,jj just fell on creswell

talk about one eyed

fookin hell stop whinging ! .... yer sound like dingles..... its football not team knitting.

 

[Jimbo]

What makes it worse is it's not like they've both jumped up for a challenge together where you can understand an "accidental" elbow. He's had to really reach back for him twice to connect.

D*ck head.

 

[Linz]

I don't think he should be banned.

He's shit... keep him playing

Kinell, have I just stumbled onto a Dingles board?? He whacked Cressy, Cressy got back up and had a word, JJ did a big No2, disappeared, and that was that.

I blame Spoony and 6-0-6.
