They keep mentioning it in the news on talksport but don't seem to say that it was a racial thing which I thought was common knowledge.
Having to attend these lesson things I sometimes think is pointless as if that's his view on another race then I'm not sure that this will make him change his views.
Not the worst insult I have ever heard and I personally dt think the punishment fits the crime however jj would be better letting his football do the talking
5 game ban and 100K fine for saying 'Smelly Arab'? Not enough punishment, you say? Seriously?
To be fair I said racism in general should be more than a 5 game ban. (As it was before we knew what he said).
Do I think this is racism? Yes, but very mild. It's a stupid stereotype and Shelvey should know better than to say it.
What do you think the ban should be for the tackle by Barkley? I know what I'd prefer aimed at me and that's being on the receiving end of both a similar tackle and racism, although granted I wasn't called a smelly Arab.

That was what I was thinking. There are players who intentionally assualt opponents on the pitch and get a lighter punishments than someone who uses naughty words and causes hurt feelings. People need to get a grip.

Trying to block the pass and accidentally hitting the player's leg isn't worse than racism to me, it's a straight red sure so 3 games.
I'd much rather a zero tolerance policy on any racism which the FA is showing, than a grey area where some racist insults are allowed but not others. Suarez got 8 games so it shows that the FA agrees with me that it wasn't as bad.

"Mild racism" really? Really? Racist is just that racist. It's despicable, unforgivable and so are the bigots who appease it and make room for it. Get your mind out of the gutter and keep your illegal drivel to yourselves.

The tackle on Henderson right? Look at where he's looking. Comes in far too late yes, but hardly Keane or Thatcher.
If he had said "F off you Arab" would he still have been fined?
I hope so as he's still using the nationality/ethnicity of a player as an insult. Little scum bag at times, but we've all been gobby then regretted it.

Think we might have to agree to disagree on that. I will then point to Ageuro's tackle on Luiz? which served a 4 match ban (but only because he had been sent off once before) Do you feel that a deliberate attempt to foul some badly should be handed less of a penalty?

No, that shows that both you and the FA fit well together.

He doesn't seem to have been in the Newcastle side the last few times I've seen Match of The Day
