No. We play Burnley before Liverpool.
Cavani gets 3 match ban from FA for his social media post
- Thread starter VP89
- Start date
No surprise the rules are clear and this was always going to be the outcome.
We know it wasn't intended as anything racially but it's how it is interpreted here and we can't argue.

Yessss we are so woke get in!!
The word bullies are trying to destroy freedom. DO NOT LET THEM.
TheFA never hide its dislike towards us.
I hope they are happy now with lecturing others but ignoring bigger issues.

We play Burnley on 12/01 anyway, so he'll definitely be back for Liverpool.
Well at the very least it’s only one league game banned. He would’ve helped in the cup competitions but it’s up to Martial and Greenwood to step up.
I know this is the current environment but the lack of nuance is a joke.
Also, it's taken way too long, to the point where you feel it's intentional that they waited for his injury to go away before banning him.

This is so beautifully 2020.
The FA will be putting the kettle on right now.
"Well, that's racism sorted!"

Cant think of anything more patronising. The positive for me is that it means we’ve come so far in fighting racism that it’s now so subtle we are fighting it where it doesn’t even exist.
Yep, this is how you sort racism right here. No need for anything else.
Absolutely true. Cavani won't want to do anything other than just accept it and move on but an outside group should put some pressure on the FA for discrimination. This is such a new low for the FA not like I am surprised.
I actually think utd have responded well and appropriately to the outcome. take it on the chin and move on.
Hope Cavani is a bigger and better person for the experience, as for the some of the rawk style bleating here, thats a tad more eye opening.

If club and Cavani accept this fine then we deserve it. Complete joke
I’ve always wondered where the money from fines go, in football it’s not usually small fines like speeding tickets it’s usually tens of thousands.
Do some greedy arseholes at the FA just get it as a bonus?
the obvious decent thing would be to reinvest it at grass roots level or even donate it to charity.

That is the spirit. When someone slap you, accept it?
PCness at its worst.
I'd even go as far as saying this way of PCness is racist in itself as it does not respect culture in language and regardless of Cavani's clear intention judges him the opposite direction. On purpose, even though they can tell no racist intention is there from Cavani.
Fecking racist FA cnuts

I can see how you can think he was stupid to do what he did but a 'better person'?
It's been explained plenty of times what the word means, so who the hell are you to pass judgment like that?
lets get those t shirts printed then shall we?
Well now that racism is solved, what can the Empire sort out next?
the situation as i read it Grey and White. We need to get back to teaching better behaviour on Blue Boards for the sake of the game. It is after all a persons game and we shouldn't fall down any maintenance covers.
I blame the club for not giving him a list of words that he should never use on social media in any context, especially considering we now live in the days of social witch hunts and public shaming. This can't be the first "social faux pas" they've had from a player totally unaccustomed to English culture.
It really feels like an attack on the culture doesn't it
It isn’t PCness. You could argue that it’s more unPC than PC, because you’re policing another culture on its language and cultural norms in a UKcentric manner.
What was the other option? The FA were never going to change their minds and say they were wrong. They're all so far up their own arseholes they're eating yesterday's dinner again. They'd have just slapped another 2 game ban on or something.
You have to accept. TheFA will not back and he would get one more game and maybe more fine.
This will sound stupid but how FA can ban you for something which you did in your private time?
not passing any judgement, that is the FA's job. bigger and better in terms of the process and the experience, I cant imagine it was anything but difficult for him. and as for the passive aggressive nature of your comment, i take it only opinions that agree with your judgement are acceptable? odd how the free speech lobby feign outrage when they dont like whats said.
It was 50/50 he'd have started after playing the full 90+ v Wolves a couple of days ago IMO, so in the grand scheme of things it isn't that much of an issue. We'll probably give Greenwood the start v City now, which isn't a bad alternative at all.
Overtime money to the investigation committee.
Thankfully, no money need to be paid for lip readers and translators.
THEY ARE WORRIED
I am starkly surprised by some of the comments here. This is the "minimum" punishment he could have received after being charged. There was no way that the FA would have let this go.
Letting this go would have been tantamount to setting up a precedence for players/clubs to use "lack of intent" as a get out of jail card even when the act was perpetrated with malicious intent. It is clear that Cavani has fallen prey to the general condition within football where racism is rampant and any act of letting players accused of racist behavior get off without punishment would be a step in the wrong direction.
It is unfair for Cavani but I think it is the right decision by him and the club to not contest it. Nothing good will come out of that.

I get irritated and think it is not ok with some things in other cultures/countries. But I don't ask for a ban. Where does TheFA draw a line?
Next step is to go at those who don't think about global warming. Ban everyone who drives car, takes a flight and eats meat.
I am sorry but all I can think of is feck this FA. They can't understand that he said Negrito to a friend.... Not as a derogatory statement but thats what his native language has
If there was something which needed fixing, its fecking FA

The FA have made a massive mistake here in not outlining straight away where the obscene £100k fine will go.
My first reaction was Wow, that’s a massive fine. Really overlooks the reason for the fine which is the important point. Or maybe I’m just sympathetic for somebody using their own colloquialisms in a genuine error.

I don't understand why these top players don't just leave their accounts to their PR staff.
The risk v reward seems ridiculously ill balanced.
Well, not saying the fine or ban are justified, but, if you'd want fine a player, then you'd have to take under consideration the player's wages.What is the point in fining a player 5000, if he makes that in half an hour? This is the sole reason many countries have charges, which are percentage of income based and not set amounts.
There's nothing in my post that's 'passive'. You can fully take it I think what you wrote was complete nonsense and that you sound like some self-absorbed preacher. Now, your original nonsense about 'bigger and better' is some proper passive aggressive stuff and it's quite the irony you fail to see it.As for the FA being better at passing judgment, they've shown time and again they're not an institution you can trust on the matter.
Not difficult to understand, tbh. They have guidelines about public conduct, the same way your employer can sack you off if you commit a crime.
No, you don't. You can and in this case, you must fight against it. Because we and him are now labelled as some kind of racists or at least ignorant fools. You must clear your name and by accepting this fine, you admit that you did something wrong.
