Right had time to digest this jt punishment ! Don't think they sent out a strong enough message . Once again I feel cheated by the fa ! >

jamie lawrence @1jamielawrence7
Now as a black person who gets racially abused on the pitch do you go to the fa ? I don't think so ! To be fair anyway I would sort it my >

jamie lawrence @1jamielawrence7
Own way as I know the circus they call the fa is corrupt . John terry has got the equivalent of community service !

Collymore was on last night saying he thought it was way too lenient (mentioned a 10 game ban).

Then Alan Brazil was basically saying this morning that he thought it was a joke and this stuff goes on all the time on the pitch, I.E. he'd been called a Scottish [insert] before etc and they'd have to start stamping all that out too blah blah blah. He's such a bigoted ignorant ****.

The phrases

'Racist'

and

'Being found guilty of Racism'

are totally different. I know its not the main focus of the issue. But it really pisses me off none the less.

I'm getting concerned as to the whereabouts of both Power and Carlisle.

At least 16 hours since this decision and neither of them have been seen nor heard from on the national media.

Interesting that one of the questions this morning is about the FA's entire process in coming to their decision, because the court found him not guilty.

Absolute bull**** that no one questioned the FA when it came to Suarez.

Just my two pence. But I think there should be a Zero tolerance to personal abuse in football. I'm all for a few words between players. But this school yard **** that came out during the trial has be cut out. It seems its acceptable on the pitch.

Zero tolerance.

Imagine if Federer and Murray were screaming abuse about them ****ing the others girlfriend during the game. Imagine it in Cricket. Wouldn't happen, so why in football.

I know Sledging goes on in cricket, but its clearly not personal.

Cricket sledging gets very personal. How's your wife and ny kids? Wife is ftijnue kids are retarded. Etc.

[Alex]

Well that sort of **** needs to stop too. I've always hated it in my personal life. Makes me really uncomfortable when someone tries to use it to get one over on me.

ftijnue?

Fine. Typing on phone with my thumb

Thats the thing. Luis was called a Racist. But the papers all say with Terry, that the FA think he is a Racist.

Shifting the onus to the FA, rather than Terry.

It stinks, I totally don't buy into media being biased most of the time. But this is so blatant. Luis was vilified because of who he was, and where he came from.

it was only one paper that used "Racist" as the headline for Luis wasn't it?
