Amen to that. Sadly it'll never happen, because the game is infested with cheating dickheads.

Didn't he claim he was covering his nose ? It doesn't prove he's a racist. It does prove he's a cranially challenged immature prick though.

Kudela claiming he covered his mouth and said to Kamara "you're a f*cking guy” as opposed to "you're a f*cking monkey" really tells you all you need to know. It insults the intelligence. "You're a f*cking guy" - is that REALLY the best he could come up with ? Is he trying to claim Kamara mistook...

Spot on. I disagree. Rodriguez's claim that "the truth always comes out", as though he had in some way been vindicated by this 'not proven' charge, was utter bollocks. I was annoyed when I read it, so Gaeton must have been steaming. He's fully justified in releasing this statement to attempt...

He claims that all he said was that Bongs breath stinks (hence the holding of nose and waving of hand gesture). Very adult of him.

Pretty much that I suppose. Its fairly predictable that he's treating this verdict as though its absolved him of any wrongdoing, when actually its done nothing of the sort. An unsatisfactory conclusion to an unpleasant incident, which was of his own making.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43783281 "I am always a great believer that the truth always comes out and it has," he told BBC WM. "Now we can move on and I can just carry on working hard for the team." - Rodriguez Errr...except the truth HASN'T come out though, now has it Jay. The...

Whether he said something racist or not, perhaps this whole experience will teach Rodriguez not to be such a childish little prick. Pinching his nose and wafting his hand in a "peewww you stink!" gesture - unbelievable. I wouldn't expect that from a 9 year old. He's a grown man ffs.

Agreed with most of that. But in the civil court, the weight of responsibility falls on the prosecution to prove guilt, not the defense to prove innocence. If they find Rodriguez guilty then the FA could uphold their own charge / verdict I suppose, but a magistrates court might well deliver a...

And rightly so. If Rodriguez is found not guilty though, it doesn't mean that the FA have merely paid lip service to it. It'll simply be because, following the investigation, there was not enough evidence to find him guilty of the charge. All very unsatisfactory from Bong's point of view IF...

Right. So despite what BG said, not every offence that happens on a football field comes exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Football Association. In which case, if they find Rodriguez guilty of committing a hate crime on the pitch, and he still protests his innocence, I don't see whats...

So taking it to an extreme...what if a player took a concealed knife onto the field of play, and during a melee at a corner, cuts off another players hand. The referee notices this, sends him off (for violent conduct), and includes it in his report. Would that incident also be confined to the...

Disagreeing with a ban over a red card is one thing, as thats just a grumble to do with the laws of the game within the sport which, as you rightly point out, all clubs agree ultimately to abide by. Being accused of using racist language towards someone though, thats a criminal offence - its...

So he could be found guilty in a kangaroo court at Wembley of "probably" racially abusing someone, and he has no recourse ? Blimey.

You'd think so. I don't see how they can find him guilty of racist abuse by deciding that he "probably" said it. But then the FA are a law unto themselves. John Terry was cleared by a magistrates court of giving racist abuse to Anton Ferdinand - yet the FA still charged him of the offence, and...

I just don't see how anything can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that Rodriguez made a racist remark - its just one mans word against another. The video footage is inconclusive. If it hasn't (or can't) be PROVED, then he'll have to be found innocent. They've rightly charged him, as you have...
