fair enough, looks like there was a lot of heat between evra and the staff member involved and he deserves this tbh. starting fights is just childish...if it happened on the field during the game then maybe it would of been more |

thats a shame, evras been playing great at the moment. but if he's been starting fights then i guess u cant really say anything. so did the groundsman get to keep his job in the end? coz if i remember right it was partially his fault? |

Yep still at club. One thing i have never been able to understand, why was Evra even on the pitch "warming down" As far as i remember, he didnt play in game and wasnt even on the bench..........so why was he warming down. |

I think it was unfair as the fighting started due to alleged racial abuse... but those four matches could be crucial.... who do you think will take over for him? fabio silva if he's back from injury? or maybe slot in rafael in there for the time being... as long as its not O'shea for all four matches i can't really complain... But to be fair a 2 match ban would have been more appropriate at most, if not just a fine. |

alleged? who knows but if the fa handed out the ban to evra then they must have evidence evra was the one who started it....4 match is very kind to him to be honest....if he fought on the field it would of been much much worse |

The ruling is quite interesting: Evra admits pushing the Head Groundsman (not Bethell), admits to then hitting Bethell and admits going for Bethell again once things had been calmed down. The way i read it, Groundsman asked players to move to other half, they objected, Evra pushed head groundsman, Bethell mouthed of at Evra and Evra smacked him............then all hell let loose lol. By the way, the charge of a racial slur were dismissed. Full verdict below. A Regulatory Commission hearing today reached its verdict on charges issued as a result of an incident during a warm-down session following Chelsea's match against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on 26 April. The Commission issued the following statement: The Regulatory Commission found a charge of improper conduct against Mr Evra proved on all four elements of the charge. The Commission found that his conduct during a warm down session following the Chelsea v Manchester United, Premier League fixture on 26 April 2008, was improper in that: a) Mr Evra pushed the Chelsea FC Head Groundsman with his chest (as was admitted by Mr Evra) b) He struck Mr Sam Bethell, a Groundsman at Chelsea FC, on the side of his head c) He subsequently, i.e. after the previous incident had begun to calm down, ran back to confront Mr Bethell again (as was also admitted by Mr Evra) d) Then became involved in a further physical altercation with Mr Bethell. The Commission considered this was an incident of violent behaviour by Mr Evra which was therefore punished by a suspension for four first team matches as from Monday 22 December 2008 and imposed a fine of £15,000 on Mr Evra. The Regulatory Commission found two charges against Chelsea FC both proved. On the first charge the Commission found that during the course of the same incidents connected with the warm down by Manchester United FC players, Chelsea FC’s employee, Mr Sam Bethell, had conducted himself in a disorderly fashion and that his conduct and language had been abusive and provocative. Charges against Mr Bethell had previously been dismissed on the ground that The FA had no jurisdiction over him personally. Chelsea FC were charged that it had failed in its responsibility to ensure that its employee Mr Bethell conducted himself in an orderly fashion and refrained from abusive and provocative conduct and language. The Commission fined Chelsea FC £25,000 on this charge. An allegation that Mr Bethell had engaged in racist conduct or language was not proved. Accordingly, so far as the charge against Chelsea FC was based on its alleged responsibility for such racist conduct and language by Mr Bethell, the charge against the club was not proved. A second charge against Chelsea FC of failure to specify in Mr Bethell’s contract of employment by the club that Mr Bethell was directly under the disciplinary control of The FA was upheld but the Commission did not find it appropriate to impose any penalty on that charge. Mr Evra and Chelsea FC were each ordered to pay half the costs of the Regulatory Commission proceedings. |
