From the BBC

"Former Newcastle United Under-23s coach Peter Beardsley has been suspended from all football-related activity for 32 weeks after being found to have been racially abusive to players.

He was charged by the Football Association with three counts of using racist language to players in March but "categorically denied" the claims.

He left Newcastle after a 14-month club investigation earlier this year.

The FA said his remarks "were obviously racist and wholly unacceptable".

In their written reasons the FA added: "Even if he did not intend to do so, he plainly did cause offence."

Beardsley has been ordered to complete a face-to-face education course."

Now I think that's pretty unfair.

To be made to sit face to face with Beardsley for that long? Outrageous. I hope that they are paid well. :moo:

The panel did, though, say it had "serious reservations about Mr Beardsley's credibility".

Says a lot about the man

Racism is a disease anyone that does it is sick but you would have thought that Beardsley was alright, always seemed a decent bloke.
Just goes to show that you never know who is going to spill their vile comments.
Monkeys and climbing trees!
Put him in prison for a year.

Beardsley, being white, male, oldish, British AND English at that...once accused and you’re in this demographic then no chance. Guilty as charged. He might as well confess to knowing Justin Trudeau and Gary Glitter. Great player mind. Sad he’ll now be remembered as a racist.

Nothing to do with the racist comments he made then? Just because he's white and of a certain age? Scary stuff.

Of course it is! The report states his evidence was corrupted so he could never have received a fair hearing. It probably didn’t help his demographic fits the stereotype though.
