Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Amnesty for five bookings is 30th November so he's got two matches to avoid being booked. I've a feeling he won't start against Hull anyway so a booking on Saturday would be irrelevant.

Rafa loves a cup and Shelvey is one of our most important players. If he is fit and not suspended he will start.

The FA being the bunch of idiots they are didn't expect Jonjo to have a witness & contend the charge,

so now it boils down to he said this & the witness saying he didn't say that

my gut feeling is the best QC in the land can't get you off an FA charge

Well the FA's rules are open to interpretation, and there is no definitive example of breaking the rules, and as it's not a matter of UK law then having a QC wouldn't make any difference. QC's are used to fighting actual laws where if omitted it's either right or wrong, which is a lot easier to fight than whatever agenda the FA have at any one time.

Yeah like the off-side rule open to interpretation.

I’m no legal eagle but how on earth can you be convicted if they don’t have any evidence (assuming that!) and it’s basically your word plus the word of someone else supporting you versus the word of one person?! Why did this Wolves player not react to this supposed racist abuse on the pitch when it happened? I’d be going crackers if I heard someone say it about one of my team-mates!
