Stokes received 1 match ban and fine (10 Viewers)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

By the FA for his Mr Brains tweet...

Has been fined £1000 and has to attend an educational course...

And as you put in the thread title has to serve a one match ban. So we're already one short for the opening fixture.
He was a really good solid player for us last season. I hope we have some decent cover.

Surprised a ban's part of it, I thought a fine and a behaviour seminar was the order of the day.

A bit over the top with the ban. A fine (or donation to charity) and some education / social network course etc would have done the job.

Typical FA a ban for what???? did it affect another player ...bunch of jokers all of em

Yeah, the bunch of faggots!

 

[ajsccfc]

That's it. You now owe Nick 50p and are not allowed to click on the next thread Glen creates.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Yeah, the bunch of faggots!

That's a one game ban for you Mr Otis or an evening out with Grendel your choice

Ridiculous. He's apologised publicly, deleted his account and will be attending an educational course. A fine I can comprehend but to hinder the team when he wasn't intentionally attacking homosexuals is beyond a joke. Good old F.A doing us up the Arse yet again... Whoops.

 

[ajsccfc]

Have players had bans for social media stuff before?

 

[dongonzalos]

Still got a feeling the lad will end up becoming a fantastic left sided CB this season.

A ban seems a bit over the top.

Nick, one week ban for this please?

 

[skybluepm2]

Nick, one week ban for this please?

I'll take the fine and course option instead

 

[Pete in Portugal]

A one match ban in addition to a fine and attendance on a course seems disproportionate to me.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Even the FA has it in for Coventry...

 

[Ian1779]

Didn't Rio Ferdinand get a 3 match ban for comments made on social media a few years ago?

 

[sw88]

Stephen Hunt to make a one game come back to fill the void?

 

[fernandopartridge]

How queer!

 

[rupert_bear]

Do we play a league cup game first and if we did would that be the one he misses ?

 

[lordsummerisle]

Where's me washboard? Where's me washboard?

Cup games usually second game of the season.

Agree. Some people are offal-y sensitive.

I blame Jamie Oliver. Healthy schools malarkey! What's wrong with a good faggot and pea batch from the chippy?

 

[bawtryneal]

Unfair and unjust penalty in my opinion. Will be interesting to watch how the FA compare different cases and if bans and punishments are dealt with equally across all levels of football.

Yes, and attract a big gay following.
