Suarez guilty of recist abuse

[Batch]

8 game ban and a 40K fine.

Do the crime do the time I suppose. Can't remember a ban like this though, well Cantona and PDC but these were for very different reasons. Hopefully it'll have the desired effect.

[Langers]

That's a massive ban, didn't expect that. Totally deserved though.

Hopefully John Terry gets the same punishment, or more

Pair of cunts

John Terry's ban will be interesting, given its beyond doubt he used racist language towards Anton Ferdinand.

edit: Tans beat me to it.

bet the fa bottle it

Apparently he came clean, so I bet he gets it reduced via appeal. Probably end up with 4 or 5 games ban.

I bloody hope they throw the book at Terry. Prize cunt.

I'm not sure the this ban is fully deserved here. Suarez used a word which is so socially accepted in Uruguay that it's used as players nicknames in the press over there. And although is sounds very much like a word you wouldn't use over here, it's not the same and doesn't have the same history associated with it.

I'm all for stitching up the scousers chances of success but the length of this ban for the 'crime' committed is very much OTT.

Agree re: Terry be interesting to see how they punish him now the bar has been set.

Terry should now have no chance of avoiding similar punishment. Which will probably see him lose the England captaincy again.

I heard it was a derivative of negro...negrita. I suppose it's not insulting to call someone black, but if you call them blacky 10 times over the course of a match, it could be interpreted as racially insulting.

To be fair, anything said 10 times is aimed to insult.

[janaage]

He denies saying it 10 times, just once. And Negro/Negrita in Spanish is not the same as the derogatory term used here. Although that would depend on context I suppose.

Presumably the ban was made deliberately long in the anticipation it will be reduced on an appeal - so 4 or 5 games is what they intended all along. Interesting what they do with Terry now...

[Notts red]

On the subject of racism, someone from Burton said Kevin Amankwaah and Billy Kees had a real flair up on Saturday and had to be pulled apart after Kee said something racial to Abu Agogo of Daggenham after his reckless challenge and sending off.
Sounds like Kevin has strong feelings on racism whatever side it comes from.

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

Is there any idea on when Terry's punishment (Or non punishment) will come about?

writing an essay on how shite a role model he is...

[Notts red]

What's the hold up in Terry's case, seems he was accused weeks before Suarez.
