agentwalker Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) It's going to end up where every black / ethnic player can just turn round and say X player said something to me. BANG instant 6 game ban. Utter stupid. But Wednesday just roll over and take it. Come on DC grow some and fight this all the way.

Castleford Owl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I appreciate the court ruling doesn't 100% prove there was no wrongdoing, but how can the FA assume the opposite? A 6 game ban for Racial abuse, that is literally based on an accusation? It's an absolute disgrace. F*ck the FA with the best lawyer you can find.

bigdan2003 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well there’s a surprise. They were always going to make an example of him. It’s an easy win for them. Rather than tackle the real issues of racism in the game, and the institutional racism, they can get a quick win...a tick in the box for their anti racism policy. Job done.

Owlstastic Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 What a pre season. What next? Another biblical flood swallows Hillsborough? Kop sinks into huge sinkhole which turns out to be the entrance to Hades? No crackling at Bere's, first home game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howards back Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 4 minutes ago, alanharper said: From the BBC: "His ban comes on the day the FA increased the minimum ban for racial abuse from five to six matches for the forthcoming season. " What convenient timing, ffs! The FA make it up as they go. In any other case the sentence has to be what it was when the crime was committed.

Nick the Owl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Basically flipping a coin for it based on balance of probabilities. Unjustifiable outcome and delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Meanwhile a player who used insider information to allow his family and friend to place bets on him moving clubs to defraud other companies has been fined and banned for 2 weeks of the pre season. And they say the FA have their heads stuffed up the EPL ar$e. Pardon my French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The FA are a joke, since when are they above sitting Judge. Not enough evidence for a legal trial, but FA just think we had better find him guilty as easier to make FF a scapegoat rather than get criticism from elements of the media for not taking action against an alleged incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could change now said clubs actually know the extent of his punishment. Is he for sale? Then maybe anyone is at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we’ve become numb to the baggage this bloke comes with. Plus he’s not the same player that he once was. The third paragraph of the club’s statement is quite damning IMO. Hate to say it but I’ve lost respect for FF here. 24 minutes ago, newbster said: Now is not the time to degrade him but to support him and this time he has been wrongfully punished I’ll leave others to the conspiracy theories, thanks.

Lord Snooty Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 No point appealing anything with this shower. They'll just double his ban and and charge him an admin fee for the stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
