RED ANT. Thanks for your support mate on the Jack Wilshere ban. I think it works like this.
When Suarez did it he used a one finger gesture, therefore it became a one match ban. Evidently with Jack they believed he made a two fingered gesture, therefore it became a two match ban. Now I've heard that players have been told not to wave at the crowd before or after the game as this is far too many fingers on show and this could lead to a ban for the remainder of the season. SMILES LOL!
Yes I agree with you there is no consistency absolutely ridiculous. Next thing you will know is that players will have to play with balaclava type wooly hats on with just there eyes showing just in case they swear and someone lip reads it and gets offended. I think Suarez's and Jacks acts came out of emotions end of.

So will any Liverpool player who gives the United fans the 5 times salute
get a five match ban? just a thought

My take on the situation is this. The panel is set up to look at incidents that refs etc miss. The incidents if seen by the officials would be deemed to be a sending off offence. Therefore the minimum punishment would be 2 game ban for a straight red as opposed to 1 game for 2 yellows. This only came in recently to my knowledge but I may be wrong.
This is why probably it was appealed and why it cannot be compared to Luis ban previously. Good luck for the season and here's hoping we are still fighting it out for title come May,
