Basically this. Th FA made a specific movement to stamp out racist/xenophobic remarks. I'm not going to hate Shelvey for shouting "arab cunt" like. It's not on though and the ban is fully justified.

"Arab cunt" could have been worse I suppose Glad we're just getting this over with, hope he comes back better for it.

Decent shout that.

Brighton doing him too would be delicious. Really hope he gets a quick job down here.

If we get to turn his new team over this season

Vardy's an amazing human being.

It looks like he's actually used bootpolish No idea why you would do that when you're even just semi in the public eye like. Thick as fuck

Be a lucky, lucky man to get away with that.

Absolutely embarrassing that like.

I'm seem to remember him coming on at villa and having a half hearted attempt at getting to the ball or making a tackle just before they scored? I just can't see the guy featuring in a Benitez team playing at a high level. I cannot remember, possibly. I'm talking about starts though, other than Blackburn I don't think he's put a foot wrong.

Bang on. These things always get turned into it being 'an attack on our freedoms' though which just makes it nauseating. It's fair enough to suggest that the FA are being too heavy handed, just utterly ridiculous when it's accompanied by conspiracy theories such as the FA trying to make the league interesting, the Wolves players working together to get a rival banned (and not having a conversation about what they're going to say), and questioning whether being called an English cunt is as bad as 'smelly Arab' (pretty sure you'd rightfully be banned for both). I hope Shelvey gets off with it, and it seems like there's a chance if the evidence is as light as the Guardian have made out.

Mitrovic or Perez possibly. Don't think it'd be Atsu who I think is the only other one it could be. True Faith may be overstating things for hits like.

Aye, at times he runs around like a man possessed but then at other times he doesn't jump for headers, doesn't close down defenders, etc. When you portray yourself like Mitro does, then you have to be like that all the time I'm sure there's reasons like. He obviously wants to start every game so I cannot see how it would benefit him to saunter about when given a chance. Only really Blackburn (which I never saw but going off reports) where I think he's started and hasn't got himself involved though this season.

I don't get that at all like, he might have quiet games now and then but he's often all over the pitch. At the back end of last season he could hardly be faulted for not trying when he came on, and in 4 of the 5 starts he's had this season he's scored or assisted at least 1 goal.

So he's had one quiet game against Blackburn and hasn't "imposed himself with 10 minutes to go" in the comfortable 2-0 win at Leeds and the 4-0 defeat of Birmingham? Fair enough like, hardly a damning critique of the lad though.

3 goals and 2 assists in 443 minutes. "Wank" He was class when he got a little run of starts earlier in the season, since then he's started only once and made a couple of 10 minute cameos - any negative view of him during that time is borderline insane.

Aye, I've always like him though. Ran himself into the ground against us too.

The Wolves players are so desperate to get Jonjo banned that they gave 3 contradictory statements? If what the Guardian reports is true and the FA have banned him on the back of that then it's obviously ridiculous.

Childs play for him, that. Siem'll knock a 6-weeker off in his sleep.

What's the pertinent point? You and your mixed race pals were a bunch of radge cunts because people took the piss out of your height/colour? Ergo it's the same thing? I think I sort of covered that with "racism isn't 'bullying', it's racism". Being called a racial slur isn't necessarily going to hurt more than being made fun of because of the colour of your hair. Nobody is saying that. We're not bairns on a schoolyard here though, it's a grown man on a football pitch using a racial slur. It's obviously not on, and in no way would Jack Colback being called 'ginger' be the same thing. I'm sure you can see that. In any case I don't want the thread to get locked so I'll stop replying. If you disagree then fair enough, most people in 2016 don't though.

To be fair I think he was asking "Is calling someone a black cunt worse than calling somebody a lanky cunt?" I think it is. You reckon?

I'll ignore the part where you tried to act hard on the internet like But aye, Shelvey having a lifelong medical condition makes him being called a bald twat a bit different. It would have helped if that was your original point, and not "is calling somebody a 'skin-colour/ethnicity 'expletive, any worse than calling somebody a 'baldy/ginger/working-class/posh/lanky/nationally' expletive?" I don't agree or like bullying, I don't think anyone should be bullied for any reason, whether they're tall, short, black, whatever. But racism isn't 'bullying', it's racism.

I thought the mail would have been on board with Shelvey tbh. It's obviously indefensible like and I'm pretty amazed he's only got 5 games. Hopefully he comes back better for it.
