  11. Get involved - Costa controversypublished at 12:20 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2015

    Plenty of views coming in on Chelsea's Diego Costa and whether he should be banned for allegedly stamping on opponents against Liverpool.

    Ken Gorry: There's no defence for the Can stamp. The ball and Can were out of play and he actually had to go off the pitch to do it.

    Ken Wilson: Ridiculous media and Liverpool witch-hunt of Costa. Because it's a Chelsea player all hell lets loose. Get real everyone.

    Jack Cummins: To ban Costa retrospectively assumptions would have to be made. There's only one man who knows if the stamps were accidental.

    Adam Sofroniou: The Costa stamps are deliberate, if it was an accident you would stop and apologise. He's given himself away by playing on.

    Patrick Holland: Have a go at Costa as much as you want, you know you'd love to have him in your team!
