Well, I suppose we all saw the scenes after Keogh was horribly fouled and Stoke had Etebo red carded rightly given a straight red card but can you actually get a retrospective ban for biting someone's shirt?
Well, that is how it seemed to me and the video evidence seems to suggest that. There are also reports in the media who also say he sank his teeth into Joe Alan's shirt.
Alan himself to his credit has said the incident was not serious, although the statement also suggests that Johnson didn't make contact with his skin, contrary to the huge welt that appeared on the neck of Johnson after the incident, which looked like Alan has racked his thumb or nails along his neck.
