Devonstrix 703 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Definitely got off lightly compared to the rugby player. Different shaped balls I suppose! Seriously though, outrageous that Preston contested the charge. Hopefully we will have normal crowds at S6 when the dirty little twwatt shows up in the return match. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
areNOTwhatTHEYseem 45,175 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 A three match ban for twice touching another man's genitals on the football pitch makes it seem like sexual assault is just a normal part of the game. That's utterly embarrassing from the FA. When you consider Forestieri was banned for twice as long for something he supposedly said, despite being acquitted in a court of law and the decision resting on the balance of probabilities alone, it just gets worse, doesn't it? Our game is run by incompetents. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Ellis Rimmer 6,424 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Unbelievable, so they are essentially saying it's no worse than a normal red card offence Link to post Share on other sites
Sticky Micky 8,140 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 So Fernando got a 6 game ban for something the FA had zero proof off but fisher gets 3 games for a offence that would see normal people jailed for Link to post Share on other sites

At least all the footballing perverts know what they'll get if they fancy a quick fondle now. What a precedent to set, eh!? I just hope fans don't forget Fisher's indiscretion by the time they're finally allowed back in stadiums... Link to post Share on other sites

Preston under Alex Neil are a horrible side. They will literally do anything to try and get an opposition player sent off. Pearson, Fisher and the like can f right off.

Our game is run by incompetents. Caught fully on camera as well, what a joke. I know regular assault and similar offences are not treated the same on a football pitch, but it's not in the heat of the moment or retaliation, it's so ridiculous. In any other line of work you're looking at being sacked, and probably a police charge. The FA, EFL, UEFA, FIFA are all a joke - embarrassing themselves as usual. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chriss 1,203 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Awful prescedent. 3 games for sexual assault, wasn't even a one off - he went back for seconds. Ban to the end of the season would be fair. Link to post Share on other sites

Which is astonishing given the video evidence and it being shown live where we all saw it happen. Not sure that sends out the right message to a younger generation of supporters. They don't care about the right message. There philosophy is all about winding up the opposition and shithousery to try to gain an advantage. They supported him because he's carying out club policy. The fact they backed him will encourage their players to carry on. Link to post Share on other sites
prowl 10,607 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's just a pity the grounds aren't full of supporters. He would get barracked to hell and back. Link to post Share on other sites
