so it looks like I'm the only person who thinks that this whole thing is a complete over reaction!

Not that I'm saying it's right what he's done, but I think you see much worse in almost all games so far.

I personally think a player who takes a dive, then rolls about on the floor holding a part of his body that hasn't even been touched, untill the ref gives a free kick and a card to the other team then gets to his feet like nothing is wrong with him is much much worse. I'd sooner see players banned for intensionally trying to con the ref, and get another player who has done nothing wrong, sent off. It's disgraceful, you only have to see that poor excuse for a human being Deco play to see things are wrong.

Totti was wrong, but he was actions were not something he went out on the pitch with the intension to do, he didn't play it, and as he said after it's not hte 'real tottie'. It was heat of the moment so is excusable, even if it was stupid, and deserved to be punished. Against those people like Deco, who go out with the intension of cheeting are the ones who should be recieving bans!!!!!!

Plus I'm upset because he was one of the big players to watch, now even if they get to the semi's he's going to have no real impact
