Daily Mail are reporting that the Leeds keeper is set to receive an 8-12 game ban...!10

For once I'm hoping I can believe what's in the Mail.
With hindsight, realised we witnessed it from NU as remember Leko and Bonne making a fuss to ref after we had a corner and wondering why.
Maybe Charlton's various "goal cam" angles have helped with evidence, given reports re lip-reading?
Anyway, let's hope the punishment is appropriate as claimed.7 -

Someone like you must have too much time on their hands.

Have to question why this has taken so long? It's been over a month since the Leeds game.
I wonder what Leeds will do? What on earth will the black players in the Leeds squad think of him? I wouldn't want a player continuing to play for us if he'd been found guilty of racism.
Obviously football works differently to 'normal' jobs but i'm pretty sure if you were found guilty of racism at work you'd be sacked.2 -
Agree, got to think that had this been a top 4 Premier League game it wouldn't have taken a month!0

Too big an issue for just one thread on it.
Can someone start another, please.6 -
I am pretty sure I’ve seen this on another thread 🤔0

He’s been charged by the FA officially now.
I was too scared to put it on the other thread3 -
Formal announcement Wednesday. Leeds and Casilla have requested a personal hearing beforehand. Either way, it doesn’t look good for him or Leeds.0

Kiko Casilla: Leeds United goalkeeper denies racial abuse charge - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50294164
Absolutely farcical, he's played 6 games since the incident and the FA have given him another 8 days to respond to the charge. Which, judging by the Leeds statement, suggests he'll be able to play again on Saturday.
Innocent or guilty, (the latter looking most likely now), theres got to be better ways to deal with this.
Hard to believe that Leko is feeling remotely justified right now.3 -

The comments on this tweet from Leeds fans are crazy, they are all saying he should get off with it and face no punishment WTF.
Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla granted additional time by the FA to respond to the racism charge against him. Was originally due to respond today - now has until November 27 to submit a plea. #lufc

Why not give him the full season after all it has been about 2 months already?0
-
If he's innocent, then I'm not sure why he needs another 2 weeks? It's dragged on long enough surely, considering how quickly other on the pitch incidents are treated1
-
it's probably a language thing. He wants his lawyer present, his lawyer isn't available till xx date, neither speak good English, need to arrange an interpreter too, blah blah.

I'm sure it's got nothing to do with dragging this out until the transfer window opens just in case he is found guilty.2
-
Drag it out as long as possible with the hope that they can play the least amount of games possible without him before they can sign a replacement1
-
Wasnt today meant to be the day we found out what was happening about this?0
-
No it wasn't.
Today was the last day for him to submit a plea.
Assuming he's done that they now have to make a decision.
So expect a public announcement in a few weeks/months/years.4 -
Casilla started again today for Leeds, are the EFL just hoping this goes away?1
