...i find it hard to believe that there was a conscious decision to punish Bernardo "because" he is a City player....and a conscious decision not to punish Garnacho because he is a utd player.

I think that in Bernados case they looked at it and wrongly decided he was guilty of being racist. I then think in Garnachos case they looked at it and decided, correctly, that he didnt intend to be racist.

The FA accepted that there was no racist intent in Bernado's tweet, as they did with Garnacho's.

The difference is that they let off the rag, so I think you're deluded if you find it hard to believe that we are treated differently.

Its probably as straight forward as that...im not defending that raggy twat...i just dont think that the wrong decision about Bernardo, means there should be a wrong decision for the weird faced one.

People wanted him punished simply because Bernardo was....both were stupid in what they tweeted, but neither of them were being racist

No media outrage with garnacho though.with Bernardo it was played on a loop on sky sports news. And Andy hintchcliffe telling us all how disgusted he was in a pre game build up. All brushed under the carpet like the rags failing ffp!

So, what you are saying is that a cartoon prune has more racist connotations than a monkey?
That's what you're going with?
You talk sense in that both were thoughtless and inappropriate messages sent in error, but with the right sentiments.
But once the decision to punish was made it set the threshold of prosecution.
There are levers being pulled by the teams that hold power behind the scenes at the fa. It is disgraceful how they walk through raindrops.
 
Personally I don't care - the more shite players Ten Hag is stuck with and available to play the better it is - don't suspend them and make his job easier for him FFS
 
Black having the strength and power of gorillas in not racist stereotyping?
Was some club warned cos of fans singing of a players big willy?


on another point. Gorillas can eat bananas but don't encounter them in their wild natural habitat

This is open discrimination before our very eyes. They decided on the standard of behaviour that constitutes racism, and now they are applying a totally different standard.

They are saying Bernardo is racist, Garnacho isn't, and that they are an impartial organisation. It makes no sense.

Simply looking after their own again.It’s an absolute disgrace that our player gets punished and theirs doesn’t!The club should demand an explanation for their double standards over this matter,they really f’kin should….but they won’t.
 
Fair enough. Had forgotten about Mendy writing to the FA. Don't think there's any grand conspiracy at work though, think they've just accepted Onana's defence and Garnacho's reasoning and have seen fit not to punish him.

Naivety in the extreme mate, sorry.

They accepted both were not meant to be racist. But only one got fined and banned.

The FA, Sky, Hinchcliffe and Kick it Out are a set of twats.

Fuck them all.

If your talking tv which fixture would pull in most viewing figures around the world.. my guess it would involve Liverpool or United.. that’s should tell you all you need to know about interest in a club.

So you stopped supporting Liverpool because of the tourists of the world who support your club, then raise an argument that Liverpool get the best viewing figures due to tourists of the world who support you club.

Oh for fucks sake have a day off Trig !!9974bbbb178c51e95144a5632a2f0a4b.jpg

It's their job in terms of creating and/or manipulating the narrative in support of the highest revenue generating members of the cartel.
