I can't see another thread on this unless I've missed it, but apparently Big Ben has been charged by the FA for alleged racial abuse.

I'm not sure what he has said/done and hope there is no truth in it, but it's suggested he's looking at a lengthy ban.

Bit odd, none of the articles I can find on it reference who reported him or what and against who he said something to.

And the match in question was months ago.

BURTON Albion defender Ben Turner has been charged for misconduct in relation to the Brewers game against Brentford on Saturday, December 10, 2016.

It is alleged that in the fixture, he used abusive and/or insulting words towards an opponent.
It is further alleged that this breach of Rule E3(1) is an “Aggravated Breach” as defined in Rule E3(2), as it included reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or nationality.
The player has until February the 23rd to respond.
Ben Turner strongly denies the charge and will contest it.

Not having that. My rule is one strike and you are out. 'Frustration' or not.

Secondary question I guess until we know the facts of what he has said/done, but if you thought he could keep us up (bearing in mind on here King, Evans, Hughes, McCormick supported), would you welcome him or refuse to attend?

Not that we need anything further divisive among an ever dwindling fan base, simply curious.

The case against him hasn't even been proven.

If he's been charged then more likely to be an anagram

How do they even find people guilty of that? TV footage and lip-reading? Or just testimony?

It's unrepeatable (and no one knows, but that's not the point )
