[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 749649, member: 55446"] Kudos, well said. The report clearly dictates that this is about as low a punishment you can get for contact with the eye area. There is no leeway left for actually reducing the sentence: The question is whether the low-end for contact with the eye area should be as high as 12 weeks to begin with. Seeing players being banned for 5 weeks for stamping on faces makes me think that either it is too high, or other offences are treated too leniently. I guess that there is also the question of whether he actually made contact with the eyes/eye area. The report says a contact lens was dislodged, so I'd guess so. [/QUOTE]
