Will he miss the pool game or do we play 3 times before that?
Cavani gets 3 match ban from FA for his social media post
- Thread starter VP89
- Start date
He didn't even say it to a black guy! Does anyone here in the UK actually understand the cultural significance of the word? I certainly don't so I wouldn't presume to pass judgement on it. And given the FA was until incredibly recently run by a man who didn't know you shouldn't say "coloured people" any more, you'll forgive me if I don't believe for one minute they understand the cultural significance of a word in another language. Their "linguistic consultants" or whatever they were called were probably the chairman's mate who went on holiday to Costa Rica once.
Ludicrous decision. A warning, maybe. A fine? Bit of a stretch, but fine. Suspension? Downright silly. Face-to-face-education? Now that's just fecking delusional. How about the FA take a face-to-face-education in Uruguayan customs instead?
That is what I think too. Sometime it is better to just let it go.
We know stupidity of the this ban. But so be it. TheFA can throw a party or two with the money they got now.
I think if lessons are to be learned then anything written will have to be vetted first.
What an age we’re living in, jeez
Jose is not in charge. So I doubt that.
Having said that, we must show our anger by smashing Villa
I think what you are trying to say is - JACKPOT!
The Villa-game he wouldnt have started
The City-game he wouldnt have started
The Watford-game - we wont need him anyway
Just got to hope that none of those games gets postponed due to Covid.
At the moment, he misses Man City, Watford, Burnley right? If the City game is postponed, he'll miss the game at Anfield.
Definitely smells a bit this one considering how long it took them to dish out the punishment and when the appeal period lasts to.
Also had all season so far to rearrange our game with Burnley in the first place, but conveniently put it just before the Liverpool game. Hate to put the tinfoil hat on, but I get the feeling this is because of the comments Ole made after the Everton game (PL).
Joke.

Face-to-face education smacks of incredible arrogance. It's not like he has been brainwashed by a cult ffs
Of course they wait until he misses the City/Pool game. The FA are cnuts.
How is this a 3 game ban whilst B Silva was a 1 game ban?
Different rules this season unfortunately.
3 games for using language common in his native language..
You sure showed Cavani and the world how to not be racist FA.
There is nothing about this that isn't absolute over the top bullshit.

Would have been surprising if there was any other outcome as the three game suspension is the minimum as far as I'm aware. Cavani and the club doing the right thing by first apologising and then not contesting the charge.
I doubt if the squad will view this as an injustice.
He can play Villa tomorrow as we have until the 4th to respond I thought? If we respond today does that mean he misses tomorrow?
I was under the assumption the ban is effective from the 4th in this case.
Ah I missed the Burnley game being slotted in. Bet Klopp is calling for a 2 week circuit break already
well we can afford one of them to get called off, but it doesn't leave much wriggle room.
Cavani was charged with "improper conduct bringing game into disrepute" and "aggravated breach for implying colour/race/ethnic origin" while Silva was charged with "bringing game into disrepute" only
FA had already decided it will be a lengthy ban. So there was no real escape, unless FA agreed to drop the "aggravated breach" clause.
Well if it helps to win our games, then it should.
Laughable - both the decision and its timing.
Didn't United already say we have accepted it?
FA again showing the world they are a joke.
What are you talking about? I'm sure the FA board are a culturally sensitive and diverse group...
Not sure, but probably the same reason why victims can't get a player like Mings sentenced behind bars from what he does on a football pitch.
It seems to be a mix these days. Some posts are clearly from the players, and some are from a PR or marketing management team. A lot of Bruno's stuff seems authentic, for example.
If City game will not be postponed
I too am not surprised by the ruling but we can argue if a nation of English speakers misinterpret Latin Spanish words, should you be punished? Interpretation "conveys meaning of the spoken word from one language to another"
If we spoke our own form of Spanish e.g. Castellano and certain Latin American words were interpreted different then fine, but we are not Spanish speakers here so how are we interpreting Latin American languages wrongly? Is it possible that English speakers don't actually understand how Spanish works?
Because it's on a platform that is seen by 100s of thousands of people?
It's not like he's written something on a facebook personal message!
The FA said in a statement: “Edinson Cavani has been suspended for three games, fined £100,000 and must complete face-to-face education after admitting a charge for a breach of FA Rule E3 in relation to a social media post on Sunday 29 November 2020.”
Comedy on highest level.

Feck off, the whole FA are a bunch of jokers! This reminds me of the time Rooney was punished for swearing in front of a camera during a goal celebration, don't remember what game it was exactly.
Perfect timing as usual, Ighalo is out of the door and we have no back-up striker.

The FA decides to take no action in response to racist booing of players taking the knee at Millwall and now this overreaction to what everybody knows was, at worst, an error of judgement.
This inconsistency is what actually brings our game into disrepute

Wow!
Would you just look at that bunch of twats.
I wouldn't take a christmas cookie from that bunch.
The most hilarious ban was Rooney and Scholes ban.
Red carded in the pre-season friendly in Amsterdam against Porto, but FA said, they did not care. Rooney and Scholes cannot play in PL for 3 games.
Yes I agree that a English speaking country should look at foreign languages and look at words and expressions that look similar to English words that someone might find offensive if they try REALLY hard.
On that note: I bring you racist crayons:
Despite what you think of the ban, they waited until he was fit to apply it. Feels like the time they banned Rooney for swearing all over again
Was always coming. The insistence that the ‘education’ must be “face-to-face” seems to be woefully oblivious.
Well this is the interesting part to it.
It's not like he's come to England and used the "n" word that everyone in England knows to be offensive.
He's used a word in his own language that appears to have different meanings - and clearly used it in a friendly way (unlike Suarez's embarrassing defence of his own use of whatever he said)
The only way forward for clubs is to have players get every post approved by the PR team.
You'd be furious if you were manager losing a player for the same length of time as some sort of horrific challenge on the pitch.
He's been fit for a few weeks hasn't he?
As I understand it he didn't contest the charge. He's only missing one league game so who cares.
