Bernardo Silva charged with misconduct by FA

[worsleyweb]

Tbf it's his own fault irrespective & we'll just have to put up with the consequences.

Owen fault for what? Having a laugh with his mate?

An 'aggravated breach' of the rules, eh? Who's aggravated? Bendy Mendy? Oh, must be careful or someone might think I'm stereotyping Benji by comparing him to one of those Mr and Miss characters! I know from experience that the only thing that aggravates within the game are the various governing bodies. Just where is the aggravation? They are kow-towing to a bunch of joyless, humourless, faceless apparatchiks that stuff various quangos! I think the whole eligible City squad should be 'injured' for the next international. Didn't Shearer threaten to quit if he faced an FArce charge for some misdemeanour? Fuckin' Abysmal!

Absolute pile of bollocks this. Feel gutted for him.

However, the defence that it was banter between mates is difficult to sustain if he posts it on a public social media account, rather than just texting his mate on his private phone, or on a closed Whats App group (if he wanted to let his team mates in on the joke). His only crime is naivety in thinking that it wouldn't get picked up and (purposefully) misconstrued by the host of cockwombles out there looking for a story.

It would be very right thing to do, he's labelled as racist for a lifetime if he gets andy punishment, but I guess City would pressure him against doing that as it would just continue to be talked about and cause more bad PR. It's shit situation, but he should have been much smarter than this.

Maybe but this is more important than football, his character is being stained forever....he should tell City to fuck off if they pressure him to take this shit , its morally wrong .

Why is everybody making out Bernardo will be branded a racist for the rest of his life?
Is Mario regarded as an anti semite because of his tweet? Or is Hamza Choudhry regarded as homophobic after his tweet?
Seems folk on both sides of the debate are a little dramatic.

Are you allowed to say that? Watch out for the FA.

Simon Western is offended by this post.

The silence has been deafening from the PFA !!

Because he currently plays for Manchester City.

Broadcasting it.

Invites a response & invites trouble. Wrong environment, wrong time. Stupid.

Bernardo should put in a transfer request rather than accept any punishment. I know this is what some want and is indeed their agenda, but he isn't and shouldn't have to go through his career and life labeled like this. This is the worst sort of defamation of character and bullying I've seen of a player. Kick it Out, by is own vindictive zealousness is appearing to be racist here.
