Stoke City: Everton's Marouane Fellaini handed three match ban for Ryan Shawcross headbutt
EVERTON midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been handed a three match ban for head-butting Ryan Shawcross during Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Referee Mark Halsey did not see the incident but after reviewing video footage today an FA disciplinary committee decided to punish the Belgian.
-

FLASH POINT: Stoke skipper Ryan Shawcross was involved in several incidents with Everton's Marouane Fellaini during Saturday's game.
There had been speculation that Fellaini would face a longer ban after he appeared to clash with Shawcross on more than one occasion.
Halsey confirmed he saw two further incidents between the players, neither of which he deemed as violent conduct.

“It's interesting that a the media has picked up that shawcross somehow deserved his headbutt. I thought Saturdays game was one of the best at the Brit this season but you would not hav picked hat up from match of the day or goals on Sunday.
Perhaps that's a good thing because I believe we are a good side that's below the critics radar”

“If the roles had been reversed, and Shawcross had head butted Fellaini, you can bet the hairy foreigner would still have been rolling over and over now !”

“well there you have it, someone begins a post by laughing on here and it is quite obvious that he must be someone else, because to use jjjjjjjohnson's logic, nobody but he ever laughs on here.
Actually, i tend to agree with him, especially some of the cold humourless types on here, especially jjjjjjohnson.”

“Hahahahahah. Soccerfoot, SCFC4EVA and Peterpotter used to start posts with hahahahahah. I would think they were all the same bloke but of course that can't be the case because they have all denied being each other and one of them said he lived in America and one of them said he goes to Stoke games. You don't think it was all a pack of lies do you ?”

“HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HAAH A H AHA HA HA HAH
who needs any more proof after this comment from the king of blowhards himself jjjjjjohnson that this guy seriously doesn't get it and he seriously thinks its his opinion and no one else's that counts and I quote........ "A lot of pointless people have made their pointless comments"
You see it is Christmas, because he just gave us all a gift that can never be returned with that quote!!”

“A lot of pointless people have made their pointless comments and we still have the best defence in England. Can't see why Juzzah would have a problem with Ryan holding on to Suarez as it's the only way to stop him falling to the ground. It's a real compliment having these fans of other clubs coming on here to have a pop since it shows that we have them worried. I suppose a few of the Liverpool fans will have the hump at how Ryan laughed of the idea of moving there when King Kenny (who has since abdicated) wanted to sign him. I expect they long for the past when they could hammer us but those days are long gone.”

called maller local club getting better results and sitting higher up the table than liverpoor”

“I wonder how Joey Barton feels after he was forced into exile because of the length of his ban. We do seem to be more sinned against than sinning when it comes to referees decision. TP always seems to be sending the F.A. Videos of some misdemeanour or other. Perhaps that's the problem?”

“Juzzah on ya bike son, I would rather watch a Stoke side that honestly cheats than a team like yours that has a racist scumbag in it who cant stay on his feet because he thinks its OK to fall to the floor each time some footballing opponent looks at him, or for that matter a gobby little shyster like Gerard who has been known to fall over a few times himself, and don't you have someone with the name Joe Cole playing for you one of the most accomplished divers in the game and then you have Andy Carrol out on loan who has been known to take a few dives.”
