One of the worst I've seen ever

Ok just watched the video. That should be a life time ban. Since when do you try and stamp on a soccer ball?

Fscking moron.

BRUSSELS, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Standard Liege midfielder Axel
Witsel has been suspended until Nov. 23 for a foul that resulted
in Anderlecht's Polish defender Marcin Wasilewski suffering a
double fracture of his right leg on Sunday.
Witsel, who won Belgium's "Golden Shoe" for best player in
2008, will be ineligible for the next 10 league matches and a
round of the Belgian Cup. He was also fined 2,500 euros ($3,590)
by the Belgian FA on Tuesday.
Witsel, 20, could additionally miss Standard's first four
Champions League matches should European soccer's governing body
UEFA extend the ban to their competition.
Wasilewski, 29, was sent off for stamping on Witsel in the
25th minute of Anderlecht's 1-1 draw at home to Standard.
The incident has been the lead item on television news and
pictures of Wasilewski's contorted lower leg have been splashed
across Belgian newspapers.
Witsel has received emailed death threats, which the police
are taking seriously, according to Belgian media.

Not supposed to be like that?

Anyway banned for roughly 2 months? Wanna bet if Wasilewski is lucky enough to play again, he'll only be in action in about another year or so.

Seen this sort of injury before but still makes me cold with pain for the poor bloke.

Agree - tackle like that then ban 'em till the injured player returns. Make players think hard about the way they play.

And the theatrics which is now a part of the professional era really puts me off. Diving. Fake blood in mouth. What lengths they go to!

Would rather watch a bruising encounter between SA and NZ in rugby.

Yea this diving thing really needs to be stopped. 10 matches ban for blatant diving and 50000 euro fine along with it.

Damn that would mean many players out but yea, harsh punishment will stamp out diving big time. Honestly i have seen many people react worse to a nothing challenge then that the guy who got a double break in his leg.
