I don't know anything about it cologne ... but I just asked hubby and he says it is wrong what the FA are doing because he was cleared by the courts.

 

It's on the news now.

From what I'm hearing, it doesn't seem like petulance to me just a sort of resignation that the FA are not prepared to settle with the decision of the law courts.

I think the FA don't need as strong evidence as courts. He was only let off because he couldn't be proved guilty, rather than innocent.

The hearing starts tomorrow, so he leaves it until tonight. He's had all the dice fall his way, maybe not any longer.

Do you think he was guilty then Cologne?

Maybe he couldn't be proved guilty because he wasn't!

 

BTW, I don't really know enough about it to have an opinion one way or the other,

I think there were words said but I don't think it was as bad as made out 

Same as me fluffers, I really don't know anything about him 

That's cos it's footie innit 

I think he was guilty. I don't think he is a racist per se, but I think he used racially abusive language. As it's word against word, I doubt we'll ever know, plus I'm slightly biased by my antipathy of him and all he does (not just his private life). I just don't think he has any integrity.

Its not the first time he's got himself in the spotlight - he's better off out in my opinion

As an England fan I will miss him. We still need him, but I don't blame him I would do the same under those circumstances.

Why? Do you think he might be weary of the FA not clearing him and so he decides to jump before he's pushed? If so, I have no sympathy for him anyway. If he really was the gladiator and warrior he was described as lately, he'd face the FA and let them do their worst.

I'm also listening to R5 Frau Koeln. Another vote for no proof. It's impossible to lip read the phrase, and the other guys are fannies.

In which case you know, we've moved onto Mitchell.

We are all capable of losing our rag. Apparently.

(TBH the FA screwed both the 'Boro and Darlo over in recent years, so my default position is to be agin 'em)

Call me old fashioned, but my enemy's enemy and all that.

I've heard loads of chatter about it (mediawise and my in-house pundits and football statisticians).....my 2 older sons are massive Chelsea fans and they can't stand him and think he probably was guilty of stepping over that line with Anton Ferdinand. They also think that Rio should have zipped it after the court case instead of attacking Ashley Cole on twitter and calling him a choc ice (made me giggle though). Twitter is dangerous for footballers and their WAGs.

 

I wont miss him from the England set up. England could do with a major root and branch shake up anyway, starting at Lancaster Gate.

How dare you? Do you know who I am you f ing pleb.

 

I might lose my rag tomorrow if it doesn't stop raining.

 

Suzy, I whole heartedly agree.

I know this is very late, but great news about your baby, I didn't know. Big fat

You should have been here in Lanarkshire - lovely sunny day, was quite warm too. I was in the garden for several hours.

 

However I believe it's to be quite wet here on Monday.

Thanks so much Col  He's a lovely little lad and he hasn't picked a football team yet
