I thought exactly the same IDWT! The FA are a shower of hypocrites. Racism is rife, ***ism is rife and yet our spineless Minister for Sport allows them to continue! Shameful!Quote:

I am sure we have all done similar/worse.
God forbid that we should have a sense of humour.
I still feel angry about how Burnley were treated by the FA in the Gray affair though.
"Jobs for the boys syndrome" is not really acceptable though in a high profile organisation 1959-60.Quote:

The lunatics really are running the asylum now, they're simply the sort of joking remarks men and women have been sharing since for ever. If you can find anything remotely offensive in those tweets then either you're brain has been addled due to over-exposure to PC ****e, or you're mentally defective. Or both.
fact is if Neville is okay then gray should have been as well- we are turning into a society that wants to be non-gender and if you say anything, tongue in cheek or otherwise , that could possibly cause offence, either racist, ***ist or any other ist you simply cannot.Quote:

I’m sure most people have said things to friends and relatives that would look offensive to someone somewhere sometime in the future. Usually things said go into the ether and fade away, but putting them in writing allows them to be regurgitated beyond their expiry date to the wider world.
Andres treatment went far beyond what was reasonable as in courts you can’t legally prosecute for offences before they became offences or given sentences that weren’t allowed at the time of the actual event. The FA did both these things with Andre. It will be nice to see the biter bit.
The FA are nothing more than a joke, they could not even put the announcement on the Women's Football site as it went on the Men's first, and they are supposed to be governing out game http://i65.tinypic.com/xb03mu.jpg
