If that doesn't make him sulk then I don't know what would

The FA acknowledged that he didn't mean to cause offence. But pressure from Jewish groups to ban him was there I think. Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not I guess, its still offensive.

FWIW I think the FA were right. The comparisons with Terry and Suarez dont stack up either, because new Tariffs were introduced last summer to help with consistency. I think if Suarez had been done now, it would be a 5 game ban rather than the 8 before. Same with Terry, who would have gotten 5 instead of 4.

I didn't realise that, useful to know

There is so much ****ing nonsense in this article in is staggering. I'd be going on for too long if I started so I'll just have a pop Lord (A little bit of sick in my mouth) Ouseley

"Despite being loath to comment before the disciplinary process is exhausted when the window for appeals expires next week, Ouseley felt unable to ignore the panel’s “clearly inexplicable” findings.

He told The Daily Telegraph: “Kick It Out has to hold its counsel until this is all completed but there are clearly inexplicable conclusions reached by the independent regulatory body that the FA must surely want to challenge, because the evidence does not seem to be compatible with the outcome."

Congratulations numnuts. You have to keep quiet but you still give us your opinion. Dickfacedwankathonspunknugget. Such a prominent member of the FA's anti-discrimination group making comment on the case before it is fully concluded. Love's the sound of his own voice too ****ing much.
