Getting a bit fed up of this 'everyone one in football is a racist' bandwagon that Rio Ferdinand and his ilk are climbing aboard. Football has always been a highly charged and emotional game. There's always been banter on and off the pitch "Sit down you fat cunt" "what was that yer ginger tosser?" "Get up yer Scottish twat" it was ever thus. No harm has ever come from it, the final whislte goes and its handshakes and a drink in the bar. The Mark Clattenberg 'case' is laughable, a FIFA referee who has officiated all over the world with no complaints levelled against him suddenly turns into the the most vile racist just after he dishes out his second red to a Chelsea player. Then today some twat from the "Society of Black Lawyers" declares that the FA is institutinally racist! Not that they govern a sport that is littered with black players who earn thousands upon thousands a week! There are many things you can level at the FA but being racist isnt one of them!
There is no place for racism in sport (or life) full stop but these muppets dont do themselves any favours by their "everyone hates us, we're an abused minority" stance, in fact if anything they just iscolate themselves and make the problem worse. To the Society of Black Lawyers i say this: "Shut the fuck up and do something constructive"
Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!

Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
Too many easily offended so called "men" these days. Try a little sledging in a test match or the front row of a Rugby match if you want abuse...of course no black player ever uses racist remarks to his white oppos. Plus Society of Black Lawyers is itself inherently racist; could a white, Asian or perish the thought ginger person be a member??
Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
The FA racist? No. Useless? Yes. The problem with the FA is they have no consistency in punishments they hand out. Suarez 8 match ban, Terry 4 matches...WTF?
I think the fact there is a Society of Black Lawyers does more to divide people than unite.

Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
And the supreme irony of course is that the members of said "Society of Black Laywers" also earn a VERY tidy living from all this supposed "racism".
After all, if no-one was "racist" (note my use of inverted commas), the bastards would find themselves out of some very lucrative work.

Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
What is the criteria for joing this organisation? Being black and a lawyer. Being brown and a lawyer. Having a tan and being a lawyer? Do they have a colour chart to see if you pass the test?

Actually those decisions WERE CONSISTENT.
In the Suarez case the judgement clearly stated that a 4 match ban would have been given, if it were not for the repetition by Suarez of the offending words (6 repetitions of the original offence according to the judgement). This repetition was considered a seriously aggravating factor and the FA panel felt entitled to double the punishment and make it an 8 match ban.
In the Terry case there was no repetition found, just a single offence, so the judgement laid down in the Suarez case was applied, i.e. a 4 match ban.
The FA were absolutely consistent and the Terry case followed the Suarez case to the letter.

Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
Sorry, disagree totally.
The FA just flounder and give arbitary punishments.
You can't honestly say that using the colloquial word "negrito" which Evra totally knew about because he can speak Portugese is worse than calling someone a black cunt.

Just to clear one thing up -- the punishments weren't arbitrary. FA rules state that racially aggravated abuse is to be punished with a 4 match ban. The rules are clear and there is no scope for arbitrary decisions.
Your suggestion that the FA could introduce a scale of punishments depending on how bad the word was is completely unworkable. The FA would be pilloried from all quarters if they tried to do anything like that. If someone was seen to get a discounted sentence on the grounds that his racial abuse wasn't as bad as someone else's racial abuse the FA would never live it down. They only realistic stance they can take is that they deplore ALL RACIAL ABUSE and will treat it all with equal seriousness.

Racism this, racism that .....
Fucking set of whingeing big girls blouses the lot of 'em!!!! They ought to grow a pair and just get on with it.
The bastards don't know they're born. And to say that they're being "discriminated against" is an absolute fucking joke. Yeah, nice "discrimination" if you can get it!
If I was getting paid a tidy six-figure sum every WEEK, it would most defintely help salve the pain of some cunt calling me names.

Re: Now the FA is "institutionally racist"?!
Well James, we'll have to agree to disagree.
I didn't intentionally suggest a scale of abuse, I just feel the FA have no real grip on what punishment to give.
I agree totally that the whole thing should be stamped out, it has no place in life, or on a football pitch. In any other job, we'd be sacked, but for some reason, it's different for footballers.
