Can't help but feel we are being attacked from every angle It's a case of blame deflection for their own phooking failings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Don’t know what’s the biggest joke... the fact that the appeal was denied or the fact that we actually appealed and still left him out for first 6 games! Would have been back now. Very poor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 30 minutes ago, Forza SPAL said: Then you would probably end up broke; both financially and mentally, and everyone would still assume you did the crime anyway. Poor man management this has been. Should have simply accepted the ban and he'd now be available. Could have been accepted in such a way that we publicly and privately support FF. Why should he accept charges if he feels he was not guilty? His good name means more to him than just rolling over and taking a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl 44 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 So he's been fined £50,000 and banned for the equivalent of a fifth of a season in total for losing his rag in a pre-season friendly. Meanwhile cheating feckers like Mitrovic get off scot free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I just don't understand the player or the club on this one, appeals are very rarely won, he has barely played a game in the first 7 why did we not take the ban on the chin and he would be playing now instead we lose him now for 6 league games. Presumably the cup games don't count. unless someone can clarify if we get to the next round of the cup is he banned from Everton and a n other.

Definitely a case of bringing the game into disrepute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no choice but to appeal, even though there was absolutely zero chance the useless FA were going to change their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Forestieri’s call to make and no one else. Anyone is his shoes was always going to appeal. Just to point out though that being found not guilty does not make him innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is about his reputation and a matter of principle would you be upset if you are called a liar and a racist as a result - when a Court of Law has not proven you guilty. Indeed the case is not too dis - similar to Firminho who gets away with it with more evidence against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batemoor owls Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it as I've not scrolled through all this, but I thought that you could not be tried for the same crime twice especially if you've been found not guilty at the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 This has become a monthly tradition now. 9 games ban overall, that is ludicrous when no hard evidence has been provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand him standing up for his name but he was always going to lose the appeal. Lets hope we don't miss him or lose other key players he would have played instead of.
