Bernado Silva misconduct charge: one game ban, £50k fine

The picture that Mario tweeted was actually an anti-racist image that someone had modified with a negative racist stereotype at the bottom. I think it's fair to give someone posting that in his second language the benefit of the doubt that he didn't mean it offensively.

I'm aware of that mate. But surely he was aware that the bit at the bottom was offensive, maybe I'm doing him a disservice there but he seems worldly-wise to me.

The FA have listed the mitigating factors in its written reasons as to why Bernardo Silva got a one-game ban and a £50k fine for his racially insensitive tweet to Benjamin Mendy and not anything worse.

You may see me in off topic and that will be it. Sorry I do not take people being wrongly labelled lightly and will not under any circumstances endorse this madness. It will do nothing at all to help fight racism and suggests to me that kick it out far from being against racism are indeed guilty of fanning the flames for their own self preservation.

Bernado has had is reputation tarnished permanently and that is wrong and I am not having it.

Bollocks to them, bollocks to the footballing authorities who have bowed to this witch hunt. Disgraceful and unfair. What is the point of the inspirational way that Raheem and other black players have fought against it when this stupidity is accepted?

I think you've got to cut people a bit of slack in their second language tbh, particularly with memes. There are cultural references and subtext that foreigners sometimes simply won't get, and certainly won't know if they're offensive. He's pretty good at English, but to be honest I've taught Masters degree students at UK universities who could have trouble with this kind of thing, particularly if it's posted as a quick retweet without really thinking about it. There are huge corporations with highly-paid PR departments regularly fucking up in Asia as we speak because they don't know what's considered offensive over there, and here we are talking about some kid who plays football for a living.
 
WTAF - unbelievable decision. If it was me I would be begging the club to appeal and take the FA to court. Utter joke of an organization...
 
The press and sky sports news will be in uproar as they wanted a 6 game ban and specifically said that it's racist and the ban will be huge.
Yet again the British media are way way off the mark with their personal predictions.

I hope bernardo takes the FA on for labelling his friendship and banter with mendy as racist.
 
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but could someone summarise how many supposed outstanding offences are still being investigated by FIFA UEFA PL FA & what our punishment might be?

Are we still in danger of being banned from next years CL? Because if so, I fear the worst based on Bernado’s case

Fair enough, you've educated me, slack is cut.

Why? Two completely seperate authorities doing the decision making.
