9(1/2) weeks
So Ney Fabiano gets nine weeks for spitting at Robert Cornthwaite, whilst Dino Djulbic only gets five for spitting in the direction of a referee. Obviously the decision by Matthew Breeze cannot be questioned, as the referees never get it wrong do they. It also seems a little odd that the decision seems to be have been made without the input of the Adelaide players involved, namely Cornthwaite and Travis Dodd, who noted in the media earlier this week that he didn’t notice Fabiano deliberately spit at his teammate. Watch out for the appeal and a possible trip to the Court of Arbitration. The FFA needs to take a good hard look at its tribunal - its slowly becoming a bit of a farce.
