I wonder what the ethnic make up of the panel of the hearing will be, i don't see how an all white old school FA panel could be objective.

Ruben Neves on Bernardo Silva's FA charge: “I think it is absurd. Anyone who knows Bernardo knows what kind of person he is - he's an excellent and very playful person. When you have confidence with a friend, like he has with Mendy, nobody can have anything to say..."

“Mendy has come out to say there is no harm. We all know that they have a great relationship of friendship and I think it makes no sense what has happened. The person in question himself said it was a joke and that it didn't go wrong." [via @MullockSMirror]

this is what everybody should do if they all know Bernardo Silva get behind him and even go to the FA hearing and stand up for him
its not a racist thing ?? its a media witch hunt on manchester city, and am so so upset and don't now why that the kick it out group have back this because they do really great work and about racism in football but this is crazy and clearly just a cheap shot by the media

And this is exactly the point. It's the FA who have charged him, they should be put to strict proof that it was offensive. This should include those making the specific allegation that it was offensive being produced as witnesses. As ever, in these allegations, the person under charge is made to prove it wasn't racist. It's absurd and against every principle of justice.

They will be, he's not been found guilty of anything, and there will be proper lawyers there at the hearing.

I don't think there is any indication on who has to prove what; the matter is whether it breached the FA code of conduct (which I am certain that all players have signed up to), and then whether it is serious enough to meet the definition for the 'aggravated' charge.

I think it is better to charge/investigate every incident and exonerate, than to not investigate some. If nothing else, it creates a marker for the FA in future cases - the specifics of this one is pretty new ground for them.
 
Everyone saying it’s a witch hunt on City, if he hadn’t tweeted the thing in the first place none of this would have happened...

How anyone would get offended or upset by what he tweeted I do not know but the only way to avoid this mess is don’t tweet anything like it in the first place - keep those jokes between your teammates it doesn’t need to go out to the public.

This whole fiasco is further proof that football is lost and dying

As Sterling said, "need to be smarter" with social media.
I have some recollection of the FA being berated for not being proactive enough a while back, in view of the curious standing as a governing body in place for historical reasons and who can't really be removed. They are now being proactive and pursuing things.

They've apparently asked about the Scout7 Liverpool hack, which City appear to not have made public in 2013. I don't see how anyone can complain at them investigating both of them - if they only followed one, that would be more strange.

I'm not sure how you can equate a bit of banter with an act of industrial espionage tbh

Both may be breaches of code of conduct (I'm assuming the Scout7 is, anyway).

I'm still surprised the FA got involved with that one, as I can't see what it achieves for them, other than proving that they do look into things.

It is a witch hunt though. You know full well if it was a United or Liverpool player it would not have received a fraction of the coverage from those hypocritical racists at Sky.

If you believe in free speech then you believe in the right to offend.

We used to live in a society where unprovoked physical harm from one human to another was viewed by the community as unacceptable but now thanks to the left and the deep state in many communities offending someone is viewed as a greater offence than causing them physical harm and that is not a good thing in the long run.

The balance needs to shift and it will again to normality over longer periods of time which it must.

If the subject of the detail is not offended then to hand out a punishment is just playing big brother and achieves nothing but shutting down free speech.

Lose that and you start to lose the fabric of society.
 
In case it is a guideline, and I have no idea what was said in the video, but this was also under the E3(2) 'aggravated' rule that has been used for a charge against Bernardo:

BBC:
Liverpool's Harvey Elliott has been banned from all domestic club football for 14 days after admitting derogatory language about Harry Kane in a video.
The winger joined Liverpool in July having become the Premier League's youngest player in May, appearing for Fulham aged 16 years and 30 days.
Elliott's social media video, for which he has since apologised, constituted an "aggravated breach" of FA rules.

The one at the back left looks like the leech that is connected with Carlisle Utd, bought into the club for a quid and has been an FA representative for league 2 ever since, strange how many times the club has been badly run to fail to get promoted, as league one already has a representative, just a coincidence I'm sure.

John Nixon only in it for the gravy train and medal handing out at Wembley, the fat big-headed ****
