Man in Crete Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 just in case anyone has time for a read here is a link to the recent FF case which is hard work at times but yet to me provides no real evidence that the balance of probabilities has been proven by the FA...rather the supposedly independent commission simply seem imo to have jumped to conclusions very coincidentally on the smae day the FA's minimum sentence was increased to a 6 matches ban with al the usual publicity......also make your own mind up as to whether the panel was independent or not by maybe researching the 3 members background. Whilst not condoning racism in football at all there is concern wrong decisions will be made just to beef up the numbers.........given an appeal has been lodged then surely the sentence could/should have been kept under wraps pending the appeals outcome .......were it to be the appeal is successful then nevertheless there will be plenty who will still call him a racist ......he cant win either way ......ched evans springs to mind file:///C:/Users/2357/Downloads/the-fa-v-fernando-forestieri---15-july-2019 (2).pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players out there who's instructions and intentions are to deliberately impair an opponent by whatever means possible, where is their six weeks ?

Considering he's had 3 games already then yea I'd say so, hopefully get it reduced on appeal at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker11 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The FA stood back and let Newcastle illegally poach SWFC's manager disrupting our entire pre-season and haven't said a word, yet take this excessive action over something they deem probably happened, the game is lost.

rogets Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Having said that could be a good tactic should the owls get to the playoff finals Report a Derby player (Derby likely to be in final) for some word, get that key player banned for the playoff finals and Wednesday get to the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl.66 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Personaly I think they are looking for someone to put in the category & punishment & to make an example of for the governing bodys slogan, "LETS KICK OUT RACISM " which by the way there should be no racism in football or life , but what evidence have they or is what he said she said ????..... So Forrestiri should be left to carry on playing football until found guilty or not guilty after all the evidence from both sides are completed .

I don't believe people go around falsely accusing others of using racially abusive language. I think he probably did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if it was misheard etc, probably did it is no grounds for the punishment meted out, for the record why do you think he probably did it?
