Jonny Evans ' actions in spitting at Papiss Cisse were 'simply disgusting ' , a Football Association regulatory commission ruled . The written reasons for Evans ' six-match ban were released by the FA on Thursday . The Manchester United defender and Newcastle striker Cisse were both charged after spitting at each other during the Red Devils ' 1-0 victory on March 4 in an incident missed by referee Anthony Taylor . Newcastle 's Papiss Cisse and Manchester United 's Jonny Evans squared at St James ' Park last week . Cisse has been banned for seven games , while Evans has received a six game suspension . Cisse accepted the charge and a seven-match ban - one extra because of a previous offence this season - but Evans insisted he had not intended to spit at the striker and contested it . The three members of the regulatory commission accepted 27-year-old Evans was the only person who could know his intent , but stated : 'It is clear that Mr Evans is looking directly and indeed aggressively at Mr Cisse . His lips are 'pursed ' and he is close to Mr Cisse . 'If he was , as alleged to be the case , a person who 'habitually spits ' , then the commission were concerned as to why he did not turn his head away from Mr Cisse when so spitting . 'If that had been a family member or indeed another team member or his manager in front and below him would he still have carried out the same manoeuvre ? Evans ' actions have been described as 'simply disgusting ' by the FA 's regulatory committee . Both Evans and Cisse were charged and banned by the FA for spitting , but Cisse admitted the offence . 'Mr Evans had ( and has ) a duty of care , if spitting for whatever reason , not to direct the same in the general direction of an opponent , or indeed anyone else . The video clips clearly show that he failed in his duty of care . 'There may , in some quarters , be substantial sympathy for Mr Evans , but the video evidence shows that he did what he did , and the ordinary man in the street will find his action to be simply disgusting and should not be allowed in any walk of life , let alone on any football field . ' The written report also reveals Manchester United questioned the length of the suspension but the commission did not consider there were any 'truly exceptional ' circumstances to reduce it from the standard six matches .
