not sure how accurate but...

Jonjo Shelvey has been fined 100K and received a 5 game ban for calling a Wolves player of Moroccan descent a "cous cous nonce."
HAHAHAHAHA

LOL! If that's accurate, it's funny how the offense will be for what's likely to be true - that a Moroccan eats couscous - than for the far more defamatory suggestion that he's a sex offender. Hopefully Shelvey will be outed as a couscous eater himself and and book will be thrown at him for cultural appropriation as well. Ban this sick scum.

"Matters were apparently complicated by Saïss’s limited English and a lack of video and audio footage, allied to confusion as to what had been said."

But hey, find him guilty anyway. The FA kangaroo court at it's finest.

Here we go again.

Someone should take the FA to court over their procedures. They aren't fit for purpose.

[frank the tank]

if he feels that he is not guilty, then he shouldn't pay the fine......

The fines are crazy as well. Just because he earns 60k per week or whatever Newcastle were stupid enough to pay him, doesn't mean that he should have to pay more. Should be the same as a fella that plays part-time.

If a rich guy is caught speeding, then they don't need to pay more than a poor person. Stupid.

It's 3 matches for nonce with an additional 2 for the cous cous innit?

Didn't think I'd ever be writing that

They do in Finland.

Makes total sense, it's supposed to be a deterrent and the level of fine that works as such is different for different people.

[Daffy Duck]

In comparison:
Lazio's Senad Lulic was given a €10,000 fine and a 20-day ban (meaning he misses one game) for his remarks against Roma's Rüdiger.
He had this to say:
"Two years ago, Rudiger was in Stuttgart, selling socks and belts, now he acts like he's a phenomenon".

Mental.

Staveley enters into NDA to buy Newcastle. 300m for Newcastle, 300m for Rafa to buy players allegedly. Believe it when it happens!

That would be a major worry, the last thing we need is another top 6 rival (not even top 4!!).

Although £300m will prob only buy a few squadies next season!
