There have to even be limits to their mental gymnastics. If you’re bent, surely you’re only going to stay in the business of being bent by knowing what you can and can’t get away with? As I’ve said, I believe it to be in unsustainable argument. I’m sure the FA will been advised on numerous occasions against making unsustainable arguments.However the FA are involved here, so any logical and honest way of looking at things go completely out of the equasion .

If they do this, they are leaving themselves wide open.
Because I don’t think they had any choice; the court of public opinion, and the emphasis on ‘kicking it out’ are such, that the FA had no meaningful choice but to charge Bernardo imo. They would have been crucified if they hadn’t.I get that but these cnuts appear to be charging headlong into finding ways to fuck us over , because they can .
Seriously why would any sensible organisation bring a charge against Bernardo for that tweet ?
You do all realise that a 16 year old kid gets a 2 week ban during the international break, it doesn’t really affect the dippers first team planning. By the time of the hearing and then after a few days to think Bernardo gets slapped with the same 14 day ban he misses important games. FA claim they are acting in an unbiased way etc etc. It’s a stitch up and I hope common sense prevails. If found guilty and banned then the FA are essentially saying that even if the person the tweet is about isn’t offended, if in the eyes of anyone a tweet is offensive then a player can be charged and banned. Slippery slope. I expect nothing more than a slap on the wrist and if it is any worse lawyers will be all over it
Bernardo's case was supposed to be heard on the same day as the dipper kid. Bernardo asked for it to be delayed, not the FAExactly. It’s a meaningless ban in that he misses nothing! It’s been done do that they can use it as a precedence to give the same to Bernardo - but at a time when it will have a huge significance.
If that transpires to be the case I seriously hope we appeal. Unlike the dipper kid, Bernardo has support from all areas - not that I think the corrupt FA will give a toss.

You’re claiming an agenda based on a purely hypothetical scenario?! Ffs.You can put money on Bernardo being banned “just in time” for dipper game.
And they say there’s no agenda?!
