Felipe...what do you want. Braga players arent suspended right away...you think its a conspiracy...then porto players are suspended right away...its a conspiracy!

Felipe in all other leagues, a team caught in corruption scandals are sent to the second division..ie Olympique Marseille, Juventus...In Portugal, Porto stays in the first division, and Boavista gets sent down and becomes obsalete...that my friend is a conspiracy!

How funny...ps does the liga trophy already hav red ribbons tied to it? If players did wrong,i do agree wit suspensions,i just wanna know where is video evidence against benfica,somehow the cameras are never pointed in their direction.but anyway,who cares...wat has to change is the ligas timing of suspensions,it must be done promptly,this braga incident is 4months ago,and porto is still sittin without hulk waiting for some decision to be reached.by no means has benfica won the title yet,lots of games to go.

Ok, let's break this down. The common denominator is absoloutely Benfica. There players were responsible for the nonsense in the Braga tunnel. DiMaria starts the inciddent, Ramires escalates it further, and Cardozo plays his piece. Mossoro and Ney the only involved on the Braga side. I can live with both of their suspensions, you can see that they pushed Cardozo.

This is available for all to see in the video proof. Cardozo saw red, and got a 1 match ban. Justice was served. Ramires got fined, ok...justice served. DiMaria, gets no fine and no suspension. His case is supposedly archived for the future. There is no video proof anywhere that Vandinho assaults anyone. There is no police report that he did so, and the referees didn't report it either. How can he get a 3 month ban when there are no reports filed from any of the parties other than an accusation from a Benfica assistant?

The timing of the suspensions is aweful. The disciplinary comittee needs to act on these violations in a more timely fashion. This comes conveniently the day after the transfer window closes.

I agree, it simply comes down to video proof. You can't say its Benfica's fault that Braga/Porto players where caught breaking the law on video. Just dumb on their part.

The committe can suck my....

The disciplinary committee is a complete joke. These incidents happened months ago, and they conveniently come to a decision at the close of the january transfer window. Not allowing Braga to react to the decision. Luckily Braga already reinforced those spots. The same is to be said with the incidents between porto and benfica. How is it that Porto's players are automatically suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. In all other leagues, players are suspended after the investigation. Benfica's two adversaries in the title run are getting crushed by stupid rules, and negligent ruling bodies. They should all be fired. So frustrating to see this all happen in our league. The one common denominator here is Benfica, and there players seem to be immune to ever getting suspened by the league.

Karma will hunt them down. They pulled out all the stops, but they will still come up short this year. What can potentially be Europe's best attack, coming in second place at the end of the year to Europe's best defense. Now that would be justice.
