    I have no idea what you are on about? I see no problem in kissing on or off
    the pitch. You are not forced to look at it if it annoys you in some way.

    Does anyone see any similarity between the Luis Rubiales kiss and the
    Lauren James foul? Both should never have happened but both were
    brief incidents occurring in highly emotional circumstances in the
    excitement of a World Cup. Both have apologised. James was banned
    for two games (some think it should have been three) so is it correct
    to try to ban Rubiales for life?

    So by your logic it is okay to stand on somebody while wearing
    football boots on the basis that you are not forced to look at itif it
    annoys you. Anyway, how are you 'not forced to look at it' if it is
    on the TV screen while you are legitimately watching a game of
    football or a news broadcast?

    From what I saw of the first case, it was not 'stamping' on someone.
    Could easily have been unintentional and just off balance, certainly did
    not seem to be any force behind it.

    The second one seems to have got very political, if the woman had been
    so distressed by it then I would have expected her to slap him or at
    least push him away.

    It was clumsy and stupid but no more than that, if he had apologised immediately it would have blown over quickly which suggests she showed
    no distress at the time.

    Spanish women's football does seem in a bit of a mess, all the
    spokesperson on the news for the women's team seem to have been men.

    He could always self identify as a woman, that would really confuse them.
