[Albion] "You're black and you stink" Rodriquez comment to Bong? - FA say not proven

[Mellotron]

Blimey. Just seen that on Twitter. I really didn't think we'd hear anything more from that.

Has until 16th Feb to appeal.

John Terry got a 4 match ban, but they introduced a 5 match minimum for racist abuse afterwards. So, probably 5 matches then.

Looks like a Crystal Palace website as well!

Took their time about it.

Which won't help WBA in the relegation battle at all

Well I take back what I said about it being a potential misunderstanding.

Ban the prick.

It's a serious charge, I'm glad they've not rushed the decision.

 

[Official Old Man]

Just out of interest. If a player is banned for 5 matches where does he have to sit. Can he 'coach' from the bench thus giving the team a 'do it for me' boost?

Rodriguez charged by FA

I think that they could have found a case to answer within a week, 3 weeks is ridiculous though.

 

[brightn'ove]

**** me there are some thick people on Twitter. Absolute cesspit.

 

[martin tyler]

Seems they have come to a decision quicker than that between the Everton and Liverpool players a week or so earlier. If he’s said it deserves the ban and more

 

[lawros left foot]

How many games was Shelvey banned for?

If the FA have charged him, I imagine he’s bang to rights.

 

[portslade seagull]

No place for racism or spitting in football. Offenders deserve all they get.

Hopefuuly vindacates Gaetong, horrible incident but glad this action is being taken, and the facts can then come out.

 

[Turkey]

So if I'm right this means the FA believe him to be guilty but he can respond? We had that with Hemed stamp right where some of us thought the "charge" didn't mean he was banned straight away?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Glad that the facts will come out, no place for this type of behaviour in society and hope Bong will be vindicated and priased for not reacting but reporting such behavior. (Quoted from merged thread)

Indicates that this is indeed serious business, not going to blast the guy until proven beyond reasonable doubt though
