Yannick Sagbo has been suspended for two matches after an Appeal Board upheld The FA’s appeal against his sanction for social media comments made in relation to the quenelle gesture. Sagbo had been charged with an Aggravated Breach of FA Rule E3 in relation to a comment he posted on twitter in relation to Nicolas Anelka’s use of the quenelle gesture. The charge was that his comment was abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper, and furthermore included a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief. Sagbo admitted the charge and the case was considered by an Independent Regulatory Commission which fined him £15,000, warned him as to his future conduct and ordered him to complete a compulsory education course. The FA appealed on the ground that the sanction imposed was so unduly lenient as to be unreasonable. At a hearing, an Independent Appeal Board upheld The FA’s appeal against the original sanction imposed and ordered that Sagbo be suspended for Hull City’s first two competitive first team matches of the 2014/15 season in addition to the £15,000 fine and attendance at an education programme. This decision is final and binding and there is no right of further challenge. http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/article/1415-sagbo-fa-suspension-1641439.aspx#rdw1HzXzERaRHHPd.99 It doesn't apply to the Europa League.
Will they ****. This is a football association we're talking about, corrupt to the very core. Sagbo should go to one of those no win no fee bastard crooks.
I'd just pick home economics and get on with it. He might be anti semetic but he'll be able to bang out a great Victoria Sponge.
David Burns ‏@bbcburnsy Apr 5 Steve Bruce says they will fight the FA charge on Yannick Sagbo. Reveals Sagbo has a Jewish wife so how can he be anti-semetic? #hcafc
He had a jewish girlfriend who is the mother of his child, but he's no longer with her and he never married her.
I could not agree more. ^^^^^ this. If i were Sagbo i would take the FA on over this. The FA are clueless and out of order. Wang kers the lot of em.
