How long you'd want him banned?
Good question, I don't know to be honest. Basically, Bendtner's punishment for showing his Paddy Power underwear was bigger. He got banned for 1 match + a fine.
All I know is that this is no punishment at all. Shakhtar is already through no matter what happens in the last game. Furthermore, they should have punished the coach as well.

They should be embarrassed for banning him even for 1 game.
How about no.

Being a dick isn't against the rules, fair play is not a written rule but rather something between the lines. If UEFA are so disgusted by this, they should legislate on it so it can't repeat itself in the future. But banning him for not breaking the rules is wrong. If it we were not the benefitting from it, I would be fuming that he got a penalty at all.

I'll answer this later tonight if someone else hasn't. I'm a bit busy right now :)

How about no.
Benter actually broke a rule. Adriano didn't.

1 game is fair in this case. It's like someone missing a game for diving.
