Disgusting challenge and the worst thing for me is those f&&king idiot Geordies applauded him and he applauded back. Sympathy or not, it was absolutely horrendous and if I was Fagan, I'd point blank refuse his offer to apologise in person!

I saw a highlight of it last night and I honestly think that's it...it was just a bad tackle.
I think how you view it determines what the punishment should be:
either it was a young man, playing in front of a restless crowd, eager to please, caught up in all the chaos surrounding his joke club, 2-1 down in the 90th minute against a supposedly weaker team, and he has seen a random hull player try to take the ball into the corner to waste time and his frustration has boiled over. That's how i saw it. In which case i think i five game ban and a warning of control your temper or next time we'll throw the book at you.
OR, iv heard Fagan put in a poor tackle on Steven Taylor, and was being a bit of a twonk all game. If the case is Guthrie sees this and went looking for revenge, then yes he deserves the book throwing at him. Cant really see a case for it being more than Thatcher, who's tackle was at least as bad, and who had previous, but i cant remember if Thatcher got an 8 game ban or an additional 8 game ban. If the FA take the view that Guthrie was on a revenge job, i cant see how he could complain at getting somewhere around that 8 game mark. All depends which view you take, and there is evidence to back up either.

The fact that he'll probably be out less games then Fagan, the guy he assaulted, is justified then is it?

To be fair SOTWA i put that as an either/or and i dont think you can just dismiss it as a possibilty. How long Fagan is out for is irrelevant or Martin Taylor would still be bad for a mistimed tackle yet Michael Essien would get away with horror challenges as long as he didnt hurt somebody.
I do think the FA was wrong on this one, he should have a longer ban, but i think calls in the vein of 'ban for life' are OTT. Deoends on which of the either/or you view it as as to how many more games he should be banned for, but i think standard three is out of order.
In a world that has decided

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Looks like Fagan might be considering legal action...

Not sure about this course of action. While I can understand why it might be justified in this instance, where would it end? Evra could sue Davo for Post Traumatic Distress maybe? Andranik sues Bolton and Fulham 30 years after retirement because they've both contibuted to him suffering from benchwarmers arse syndrome?

This is because he (and other players) obviously don't feel protected by the bungling F.A.Worthy4England wrote:Looks like Fagan might be considering legal action...

Had the F.A not have bottled it and give Guthrie the punishment his actions deserved, Fagan probably wouldn't have bothered. The F.A cause more problems then they solve!
