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

[HorlocksWalk]

Does my likening of Lee Mason to Elmer Fudd make me a racist?

 

[VOOMER]

When is this massive club of ours going to fight back?

Ah bless

 

[hilts]

Not read the whole thread so no idea what the consensus is but I think overall 50k and a one match ban to a multi millionaire footballer isn’t overly harsh.

Let’s hope the rest of the season goes a lot better than the start has.

Next time Southgate at the Etihad we should give him plenty of abuse for 90 mins, well 80 for some. Can’t say this on the Sterling Gomez thread cos I have been banned for calling scousers cunnts, so let me just say in here GSIAC

 

[SilverFox2]

What is his exact offence. if he had used a white cartoon charactor would he have been charged?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Still surprised this ban wasn't engineered to keep him out of the trip to anfield. FA were obviously preoccupied with making sure Var wasn't working

I think that was left to the people who hacked our email system resulting in a 1M donation to City.

 

[SWP's back]

Expected a worse punishment but still think the world’s gone mad.

The fa are on a high atm because var is effective and that business with Raz has been a bonus for them, thats why its only a one match ban, but lets not forget that they are still labelling him a racist. Ironic really with the amount of prejudice they themselves show against our club.

They make the point they don’t believe he’s racist, the ban is for the offence is has apparently caused.

One solution to all this shit...Win the Premier League and the Champions League and tell the FA and UEFA to shove their stupid bollocks up their arse.

Maybe, but in what way are there people offended??

 

[BringBackSwales]

What’s next?!

Bernardo banned for an innocent mistake. He needed a nudge in the right direction.

Raheem banned for sticking up for himself

Maybe David banned for being a shit father

Pep banned for wearing a yellow flower

Mendy banned for wearing shit clobber

Stones banned for wearing a rabbit outfit

They really hate our great club, twats

Not heard any of it,John Barnes on radio 5 going mad about barney getting banned.

I haven't really followed this story since it was in the news initially, so I don't know whether or not Silva acknowledged his error. I personally didn't think it warranted a ban and a fine. A simple acknowledgement of his error would have been enough for everyone to move on.

He misses the Chelsea game, so thanks FA I guess? :)

 

[sir baconface]

Some say the punishment is relatively light but I still don’t think he should have been charged at all. There was clearly no intent and anyone who was offended by it is a dick.

 

[CorporateBlue]

I'm a middle aged white guy, and I think what he did was at best naive, and at worst he was an idiot.
He has 650k followers on twitter, why on earth would he not just send that as a Private Message, rather than for all to see. Like all forms of offence, it's about impact, not intent and that tweet was very poor.
The last thing the club needs is providing more ammunition to the anti-City brigade.
He, Pep and Club should have immediately apologised, donated to anti-racist org and moved on.
He seems a lovely guy, and clearly a wonderful footballer, but he's been an idiot on this.

Where does this money go?

Caused to who,the people in the story weren't offended,they shouldn't be taking any notice of fucking social media

Simply this, can't believe how people can't comprehend this? He's a public figure you can't be bantering about race on a Social media platform and expect no punishment these days.
