d'you think bans are the right way to go? I wonder if players with those sorts of tendancies (was their intention and he wasnt just crap in the challenge?) ever learn, and i wonder if a ban isnt just letting them sit in the stand, pick up a nice salary, and wait for their return whilst taking it a bit easy until the ban is over. Kind of like sending someone to prison, but releasing them on home leave.

hit them where it hurts - (chop their legs off) no ... a 2 season ban or the likes would be more appropriate - you nearly end someones career, you should take a sizable dent to your own.

:eek: Is this the guy who played for Wolves?

22 games is a mild punishment, the way he put his hands around the throat of the linesman was surreal, I'm amazed he's avoided charges. Crazy stuff.

ahh jesus christ.

what complete scum. i hate the fact that people like him are allowed to play football for a living. he is pure filth and should never be allowed step foot on a football pitch again.

its not the first (or last imo) he has done something like that which doesnt belong in a prison.

jesus thats crazy. he should get a lifetime ban for that, no excuses.
i love how the ref leaves his linesman (sorry assistant) to get choked and wanders away!! he should get a ban for neglect too!

Dave!

Where's the actual second tackle though?

Necronomicon

I couldn't find the second yellow card incident either, although the first nearly warranted a sending off in itself.

RuggieBear

only 22 matches...?:eek:

thinking that myself, wouldn`t want that ref beside me in the trenches

I believe the 2nd card was for an off the ball punch, possibly not caught on camera? The linesman flagged for it and Ganea obviously took offence:D

Judging from this he isn't too remorseful either: http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/football/display.var.1646090.0.0.php

The man whose horrific challenge put John Kennedy out of football for three years could be facing the end of his career after a violent assault on an assistant referee.

Ioan Ganea, currently with Romanian club Politehnica Timisoara, was sent off during a match against Rapid Bucharest at the weekend for receiving two yellow cards.

His second booking, for an apparent punch in the stomach of a Rapid player, was brought to the referee's attention by Dorin Madura, one of his assistants.

Ganea ran to Madura, grabbing his neck and trying to push him over advertising hoardings. He also seemed to land a blow on Madura before other players dragged him away.

Romanian newspapers reported that, having been led into the dressing rooms, it took the intervention of security officials to prevent Ganea from forcing his way back on to the pitch.

His wild lunge at Kennedy during an international friendly at Hampden Park in March 2004 left the Celtic defender requiring four operations and fearing for his career over an immensely arduous process of recovery.

It has been suggested the 34-year-old will now be banned for at least 20 matches and may be forced into retirement, yet there was only partial contrition.

"I regret what I did to Madura, but it wasn't a foul on the Rapid player," said Ganea. "I did not punch him.

"These young referees should buy video tapes of Premier League games, to see how real referees act. It's a man's game, you can't stop the play for small things. Why should I be suspended? It's not like I killed someone."

...oh and apparently club officials will be apealling the ban!

Appealing to get it increased I'd hope! I reckon he picked himself as captain...

i disagree - the ref is not in a position to physically hold back the player (probably not strong enough either) He moves away from the incident as the players come to it to pull the player away, I can understand what he did and why he did it. Nowt wrong imo.

jobonar

My god he's a nutcase! that tackle alone is worth a couple of games ban! :eek:

look how many games Di Canio got for just pushing a ref, Ganea should have been banned for longer than 22 games for that

Gillie

What a scumbag!
Kennedy's career was ruined by that tackle!
He had just played in the game of his life a while before that against Barca in Europe! Had Ronaldhino in his pocket!

This guy does not deserve to play football!

Disgraceful stuff. The guys a moron, trying to assault the ref even after his team mates pulled him away.

Mossy Monk

He should be banned from football for life.

APM

have to agree, the guy should be banned for life. Total scumbag

Rikand

then first tackle alone deserved a straight red. He rightly shouldn't be allowed to kick a ball again

kincsem

Im sure he's been doing that for years. These hard man are cowards who act when their target is unprepared. The ref should have called the police and had him handcuffed on the pitch.

Angus MacGyver

Overpaid clown, How is that only 22 match ban. He should be banned for life.

Mr Alan

is it just me. . . .or does anyone wish Carragher had've reacted to Styles' peno decision like that? that would've been funny viewing

Guy:Incognito

Not for a minute condoning what he did, but how come theres not this level of outrage when a player grabs another player like that? Officials are not small children that need to be mollycoddled, they are grown men.

The captains of each team should have a pistol in their shorts for extreme occasions of idiocy like that.

The Dubs could use him.
