Mousa Dembele

BBC Website has this

"Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has been banned for six games by the FA for violent conduct against Chelsea's Diego Costa.

Belgium international Dembele appeared to eye-gouge forward Costa duringSpurs' 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday.

Referee Mark Clattenburg did not punish the 28-year-old during the game.

Dembele chose not to contest the charge, and will now be unavailable to manager Mauricio Pochettino until Spurs' fourth game of next season."
 
It does seem unduly harsh given what actually happened (as opposed to the emotive, inaccurate, reported "eye gouge")
There must be a number of precedents we can call on to appeal the 6 game ban decision.
Edit : if indeed the story that we would appeal anything over a 3 match ban was true.
 
Mousa Dembélé will serve a six-match suspension with immediate effect after he committed an act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder accepted the charge but denied The FA’s claim that the standard punishment of three matches which would otherwise apply to this offence was clearly insufficient.

An Independent Regulatory Commission upheld The FA’s claim at a hearing today [Friday 6 May 2016] and ordered that an additional three-match suspension was appropriate.

The player was involved in an incident with Chelsea’s Diego Costa in or around the 45th minute of the fixture at Stamford Bridge on Monday [2 May 2016].

Why do I think there is an appeal, just been on the OS and there is nothing no official report of it its just on their media watch section.

Trail by TV again: 6 games, so more than Felliani's elbow. What a joke the FA are...and i'm shocked the club aren't contesting it as well.

I think we must have done immediately. It reads that the Independent Regulatory Commission upheld the FA’s claim and agreed that an additional three-matches was appropriate.
I would think that is that.

I don't agree with the punishment, but I could six matches coming a mile -off. Once again, it's Tottenham, normal rules/previous precedents no longer apply
