Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Things were obviously going way too well. For fuck's sake.

 

Though the club and player are yet to make a definitive decision as to whether they will contest the charge, it is understood that Shelvey has privately maintained throughout the course of the investigation that he did not utter the alleged discriminatory words.

 

If he did say anything of that nature though then he's obviously a complete dickhead. There's a fucking Moroccan in our squad as well.

Before all this if I had to put money that one player in our squad would be charged with racial abuse of an opposing player than it'd have been on Shelvey like :lol:

Odd timing, but if he's said something racist it'll be massively disappointing. He'll deserve whatever ban he gets if that's the case. I wonder what he's alleged to have said, as I can't remember any remonstrations at the time from the Wolves lot.

It's an incredibly thick and ignorant thing to do like if found to be true. I suspect they'll wanna  keep the league entertaining and free from one team steam rolling it though as obviously it plays into the hands of Sky and their entertainment business.

 

All in all he should be banned and for several games if true and if not, this should be put to bed quickly if there's no evidence. If there evidence to the contrary proving clear innocence then just ban their players for a game [emoji38]

There are a couple of things that do not sit right at the moment:

 

1. Why has it taken 7 weeks for the FA to charge him for such a serious offence?

2. IF Shelvey said something, why did not a single player react to it? If I overheard someone racially abusing my team mate, I'd definitely have something to say like.

3. If Shelvey does deny it, you'd have expected a strong statement from both him and NUFC to that point. The Chronicle reporting that they are 'considering' an appeal? I'm sorry but if someone accused me of being racist when I wasn't, I'd be appealing it immediately.

 

It seems bizarre that Shelvey would have done this, but if he has he deserves everything that he gets and a popular player would have just ruined his reputation with the fans. I for one would struggle to stand and support a racist like, we're not Chelsea.

 

Hoping it is not true, but because of point 3 above - I fear that it is.

If he gets hit with a lengthy ban, then how about a short term deal for a certain midfielder who is now a free agent after a stint in L.A and who worked superbly under Rafa at Liverpool......................
