The FA are a joke!!

This.

The FA can't really give bans for what anyone says on Twitter, it's totally different to anything on the pitch. They've all been given fines but in these cases the onus really should be on the clubs to punish their players rather than the FA.

It's also worth remembering that when anyone else makes a thread drawing comparison to Suarez on this board, Liverpool fans tell us not to dig it up, they've all moved on and accepted the decision whether they like it or not. Clearly you this isn't the case.

 

He'll get found not guilty(well in light of Rosie's off sure bank account its a distinct possibility)

 

Not the same ban or the same offence. Rio got 2/3 months more than Toure because Rio didn't turn up to the test, whereas Toure did turn up and tested positive for what was a fairly minor substance and with a credible reason for making the mistake.

 

Yeah,and like if a Spanish player makes an advertising video in his home nation in his spare time his club have nothing to do with it.

Hence the headline "Liverpool FC in new race storm"

Seems it depends on which player and which club that decide his punishment and negative publicity.

 

I'm saying that it has not much to do with the FA, not the club. If Reina had been in a racist advert then I'd expect the club to chose whether to discipline him, not the FA. As it turns out, the ad clearly wasn't racist. You're not going to catch me defending certain journalists' overreaction to this though

 

Im not trying to catch you doing anything,im just giving an opinion.

 

I wrote that post very poorly and I've edited it now for a bit more clarity.

 

Ditto.

 

Cheeky git

 

You don't need to bring Macheda and Twitter into it to point out that the FA is biased, bent and twisted - just look at the original Evra-Suarez case. Evra was racist (a specifically contived and pre-meditated slur was used in Spanish - and then laughably excused as an 'exclaimation') and used threatening language and insulting behaviour before Suarez got a chance to call him negro/nigga/blackie or whatever else Evra cared to make up and be indulged in by this kangaroo court. And no, sorry, we won't just let it lie - the fukking Ferguson association set out its stall over the Suarez case and we will call it to account now over EVERY case of racism, homophobia, sexism or any other ism it encounters - and those jerks in the press like drunken Lawton and fatboy Samuel too.

 

I see Balotelli felt safer having a night out in Liverpool than Manchester,he must have spent brewsters at Sex In The City last friday.

But its not like hes short of a few bob.
