Drogba charged with violent conduct over coin-throwing

I feel sorry for all those sanctimonious officials pointing the finger at Drogba. They must all be good Christians. "If someone strikes you in the face, turn the other cheek!"

I'm a little unsure to what your point is felipeneis, but the answer to your question is a police caution and a 3 match ban. This was the punishment given to Jamie Carragher of Liverpool in 2002 for doing exactly the same thing and will, more than likely, be the punishment for Drogba. Or maybe we Englishmen just might chain the savage to the stocks and give him 60 lashes and bread and water for the week!

All this wouldnt happen if people go to see football and not throwing coins. May be he should take missiles to his face and shut up . I respect people who condamn both crowd and player ,but some blind ones here should learn still many things.

You complain about fans being disrespectful yet when a player retaliates he shouldn't see any punishments? I agree with mmroziak Drogba could have escalated this situation, and no one wants more violence plus league/match bans.

Not sure if this is what should be said, But should they not also be punishing the Burnley Team and Club. I mean what they are saying is, punish the retaliating player, and suspend him. Wont that make fans of home teams take out their opponents? Punish the Home Club, Fine them and take a way points. Thus the team and the Owners, and their security and dedicated fans will crack down on those who ruin the game .
