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

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

You will probably find the truth is somewhere in the middle, can’t remember the film but the quote went along the lines of just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they ain’t out to get me.

It’s been a bad week but some are teetering on dipper like delusion imho. Nothing wrong with defending your own but sometimes you need to take a step back.

It was from Catch-22.

Me also and I expected it to be announced before the L'pool match:~\

I was expecting a ban of just 24 hours.....starting last Saturday evening at 6.30pm

Wasn’t it in a Nirvana song?

This narrative that about his form being affected by this is so silly ffs he's looked off the pace since pre-season. How people have got such short memories is beyond me, go back and read the performance threads. People were saying Mahrez deserved to start over him before any of this happened.

And I doubt we'd have appealed anyway since that would run the risk of getting a longer ban. Him missing Chelsea isn't the end of the world so the club's obviously not going to take that risk.

I thought he was one of our better players on sunday, maybe not everything he tried came off but his work rate was tremendous

Yeah, while I don’t doubt that he has been affected in some way by this, he was looking a bit off the boil before any of this blew up.

You're shifting the goal posts Karen, it's completely possible he's just burnt out a bit from last season or struggling on the wing. To equate it to the Tweet is just an assumption, and one that I struggle to believe when the precedent had already been set in the first month of the season. If he'd gotten worse since the Tweet I would entertain the idea, but he's not gotten worse - this is simply the level he's been at all season.

There is no certainty that this episode has been solely responsible for his dip in form. However I would think that having had the entire self righteous, offended brigade, and the racism hunters come down on him and tarnish his reputation for ever and condemn him to being called out as a racist is not going to help is it?

Manchester City supporters are by and large a very decent lot who have little tolerance for racism and prejudice, this forum being a pretty good example I would suggest. When you read what many have written it is quite clear that kick it out and the FA are if anything causing more division suspicion of other races and most worryingly fear of communicating with people of other races due to the threat of being hauled over the coals or accused of something that clearly the vast majority are not...and that is racists.

Kick it out and the FA I would suggest are more racist than those they claim to pursue judging by how this has played out.

Can anyone at all tell me one good thing that will come from this affair, tell me one single iota of progress in the battle against racism that this will have achieved. It is very clear to me that it has done the opposite and I for one believe that was the intention. After all there is a lot of money and publicity to be made from the racism frenzy a very full gravy train indeed.

I question who the real racists are? I do not for one minute believe Bernado Silver is, nor any of the posters on this forum whom are now expressing their disgust with the whole ongoing crock of shit. I am very confident indeed of making that statement. I am not at all confident that those who have instigated this Bernado episode are innocent of what they claim to condemn. At best they are using racism as a stage on which to perform and seek attention and at worse ensuring they receive generous helping of the gravy on board that train.

What about the Flinstones!

Stony Curtis likes this.

 

[Corky]

He had a summer tourament right to the final,he had little pre-season,there was nothing to suggest he wouldn't have got up to speed

2 games at the end of the season, the same time most other international teams played, same as Sterling etc.

He can't blame anyone but himself for what happened. Hope it doesn't cost us v Chelsea.

I wonder what they've got planned next for us

Have they twigged that we have a black kit with yellow warning stripes? Fcukin dodgy if you ask me.

You're entitled to your views, which I think are out of date and not relevant as you are not in the target group that would have been offended. I read comments from people who were offended and if they are, they are .. it doesn't matter one bit what you think ..

People like me are the problem are we?
says everything about you ... You know f*ck all about me ..

Are you suggesting Bernardo was targeting someone/some group?

Or are you also guilty of communicating an unintended nuance?

Do please let me know so I can pass your answer through my offendometer.

There is a simple message to all our squad ...............................
Resist the temptation to post anything on any social media sites - it invites criticism and accusations.

I know you're a group thinker with a herd mentality and I know that you're wrong on this issue.

In years to come people will look back on our current hyper-sensitivity to all things race related in the same way we regard Victorian attitudes to sex; 'what the hell were they thinking' they will rightly wonder. While there are non-thinkers like yourself who go along with every piece of bollocks that the current orthodoxy throws out, these problems will persist.

Points deduction for not playing our home games at Maine Road?

Isn’t that quote from a catch 22 by Joseph Heller - but misattributed to Kurt Cobain in a Nirvana track?

I am really sick of all this anti City shit from ( well we all know the organisations who are at it wether at Prem League or CL league level.) We quite rightly spend millions on our fabulous players, managers and coaching staff. Surely we could bung a few million to a bunch of top lawyers and investigators to get this stuff in court with the actual facts. Call them all out for the corrupt twats that they are? I despair of what's happening to football at the moment in England and wouldn't blame Pep for one minute if he decides to sack it all off and move elsewhere at the end of this season. End of rant !

That is the end game, I am convinced of it!!

Basically, ( and ironically) the agendas against City and PSG are racist because of who owns the club's.

Don’t waste your time on the **** pal.
Everyone with a brain and has “lived” a day of their lives knows the deal here.

 

[SWP's back]

In fairness I have quickly scanned a couple of pages of his posts and he seems like a pretty standard city supporter to me if you are indicating he isn’t a blue. Maybe you mean he has another agenda in this particular subject?

Yeah the latter given all of the subjects that have come up in the last 11 years. (the money, FA Cup, 6-1, Agueroooo, Gerrard slip, Pep, Centurion season, Domestic treble etc)
