Add a 1 before the 4 and that would have been acceptable. 4 matches is a joke.

It'll be adjusted to two on appeal which is why it is four. UEFA are a fucking joke. Essentially it is one game (at least) this season then half of next season's group games as a worst case scenario. Hardly damaging for the player is it.

They might as well just have ignored it if you only give 4 matches - pathetic joke of an organization anyway.

Drogba gets 6 games for shouting and swearing.

This prick gets 4 for headbutting!

What a fucking joke

He should have got sent off during the match and would have only got a 3 game ban for that.
I don't know if the 4 is consecutive to his 1 match ban but there is a danger that we could look a bit wimpish if we start drafting "Dear Monsiuer Platini" letters.
An italian footballer is an unpleasant cowardly cheat, it shouldn't happen but it does ,go deal.

4 matches seems fair enough imo. In the EPL it's generally 3 for violent conduct isn't it? And to be honest - it was hardly a full on head butt, more of a nuzzle.

Its a minimum of 3 games for UEFA/FIFA. Happy if they keep it to a 4 match ban

According to UEFA it's o.k to headbutt a 59 year old Scotsman...... For the love of god I hope no one tells Alan Hutton about this.

Considering Hudd didn't get banned for a most blatant elbow earlier on in the competition, I don't think we've got any cause to moan about Uefa being lenient.

Besides, he's out until the final, should they progress that far. Seems about right to me.

It's 5 games...1 for the yellow and the 4 start after that...still not enuff.

Also AC said they won't appeal.

EUFA, with this type of timid decision, are sending out all the wrong messages as IMHO just for the head butt he should have got 4, the hand around the throat required at least a 10 match suspension, minimum. Particularly as that was caught with Gattuso's shirt sleeve promoting Fair Play. LOL.

IF milan get to the final he will be eligible to play. UEFA must have realised that and given him a 5 match ban to save the embarrassment of missing every game but the final. But to be fair they will get beat next game so it wont really matter

Blimey, some of you really want your pound of flesh :lol:

4 games seems fair enough to me what more did you expect? Platini to sit plucking the hairs out of Gattuso's mums snatch one by one whilst singing the Cornetto song or something?

What potentially could have caused more damage, Gattuso being an utter arse or Flamini nearly putting Charlie into the next postcode?

Fine by me giving Gattuso a long ban, but where's Flaminis 8 game ban?!
