Can't believe Jonjo Shelvey has been banned for 5 games because of something he said to a Wolves player during a match while players can throw in leg breaking or even career threatening tackles yet only receive a 3 game ban things just don't make sense football has lost the plot.
How can a player get such a long ban for saying somethin in the heat of the game to another player and players like Rojo at United who did two, two footed tackles in two games running not to mention Ross Barkley both escape unpunished just doesn't seem to add up for me...

Racism has no place in football

A player can say wat he likes to any person on and off the pitch

No need to say anything racist, prejudice, etc etc

I had to travel all the way to Poundland to get my Milky Way Crispy Rolls as Tesco and Sainsbury's don't sell them anymore.

Surely the punishment has to fit the crime, there are some terrible names players can call each other but they are just words and can't be compared to career threatening tackles surely, am pretty sure I know which one I would rather be on the receiving end of...

That's because you're RAF.

Easy for someone to say who hasn't had to live through being racially abused.

listen I am not dismissing it or saying some things are horrible, nasty and very offensive but it's starting to get the stage where words are starting to be treated more serious than physical harm which for me should not be the case...

There's no problem in calling someone a tw@,why bring race into it?

You're making a stupid comparison.
