That was my sentiments to Dave and I told cashy so yesterday, but the fact is if he's banned for all the group games and if England do qualify, would it then be fair on the player that would have to make way for him, I don't think so. I still think a 3 match ban is ridiculous really after all he immediately held his hands up apologise to the player and ref, didn't throw his toys out of the pram (which he would have done not long ago) and left the field immediately, if that had been a Spanish or Italian player they would have got a 2 match ban max
