[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 293495"] From the youtube video posted here, I can't see any clear cut evidence of an eye gouge, but there was obviously an attempt of one imo. I'd like to see other footage or high res stills, but it does look a little inconclusive. Now that doesn't mean he shouldn't recieve a ban, but considering recent farcical lengths for the likes of Burger, where things were much clearer, it won't be a long ban atall. I'm sure we'll see some better footage if and when it's available. I don't agree with this, as this was obviously delibriate and players need to be shown that any contact with the face in such manners is unacceptable and should be taken as attempted gouging. I'd personally give a good 6 months for such things, with 2 years + for an actaul gouge. This kinda thing needs to be stamped out of the game asap, as it really doesn't get any durtier than this in any sport! [/QUOTE]
