While it would be great to see zero tolerance actually enacted, with lifetime bans, the courts probably wouldn't allow it. Clubs could choose to dismiss a player, but it would be hard to prevent another club taking the player on.I'm interested in what happens if someone vindictively uses racial slurs, real targeted evil shit. N-word, gas chambers etc etc. What type of ban would they be looking at - 25 / 30 / 40 games? Multiple seasons? Whatever you think of the idiocy of what RB said, it's surely at the dumbo end of the spectrum rather than overt racism with intent to harm.
Does appealing mean he is still available to play?
It seems a bit of a needless endeavour if the minimum length of the ban is 6 games I can’t see them reducing it to less than that. Even then I’d not be surprised if we get hit with additional games for this being a “frivolous” appeal to make an example of us. Not saying it’s a conspiracy, it’s just we’ve offered them up a chance on a plate to do so.
Probably - which could mean his suspension slips into the hectic Christmas / New Year period.Does appealing mean he is still available to play?
Pretty sure I read that as it didn't happen related to anything FA has anything to do with, it's not within their jurisdiction to allow him to play pending the appeal.Does appealing mean he is still available to play?
I don't think so.Does appealing mean he is still available to play?

Agreed, which is why he only got 7 games. The shortest van would have been 6, so it's just one up from that.I'm interested in what happens if someone vindictively uses racial slurs, real targeted evil shit.

I can see it now, he leaves end of the season and a fan of the other club questions how the suspension works. It will be like Bassong all over again.If the appeal takes as long as the original decision did, his contract might run out before the ban comes into effect!
3.6k posts on SC, and the poor bloke is only ever remembered for the Bassong incident.I can see it now, he leaves end of the season and a fan of the other club questions how the suspension works. It will be like Bassong all over again.

I suppose some people are uncertain as to whether Bentancur is a 6 or an 8, so they have split the difference.If the minimum is six whats the point in this

People keep saying this but it's still under investigation, he may well still be punished.I understand why people might think the ban is excessive but that is a debate for another time. The fact that Enzo Fernandez has gotten away with his appalling behaviour because he was protected by international duty is both a damning indictment of football’s stupid governing bodies, and also completely irrelevant to Bentancur’s case.
I think people are making too much of it - there really is no downside here.Welp, I was wrong that I thought that we wouldn't appeal this, but still think I'm right about us being stupid to do so.
Another case of the club not reading the room imo.
