Whitehouse Ban !

flipping hell, how many people on here trying to justify using racist language!

Quoted from hheh2

This is why people should never apologise in todays world, otherwise bookworm SJW nerds like you win.. "undertaken by the governing body", hah the games gone soft.

"Bookworm" "nerds" I'd question whether you ever went to school, but your choice of language suggests you're still there.

Bang on about the "game going soft" all you like. He said it, it was reported, it was investigated, he admitted it, he was charged. Some blokes from Grimsby don't think it was offensive, but those actually involved in making a decision about it did. Get over it.

Slap a £2000 fine, ban from work, loss of job and bad rep published in the media on you all because some people somewhere thought it may or may not have been a little racist.

What ever happened to what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch?

excrement-talking isn't allowed in football now?

You think Whitehouse is a racist now then?

Whether Whitehouse is a racist isn’t the question...the investigation was to ascertain if he did or didn’t say something racist...the subsequent investigation proved he did in fact say it, fine was issued, sanction imposed. Move on.

Not even sure it’s worth the debate. If it’s affected his career or any of that jazz then diddums. People make mistakes, no doubt, people should be given opportunities to make amends...he has, he’s received a band of a period of games and a fine. If other clubs choose not to take him now he is out of contract then that’s their choice.

As I say, it’s a futile discussion. Some folk will never really grasp the concept of racism, as seen in this thread and wider society, he’s no longer a town player, it’s happened, it’s been done. Tally ho and move on to the next thing...

Was that an official law of the game?

Do I think Whitehouse is a racist? No idea, I don’t know the guy.

Do I think he said something racist? Yes. He’s admitted it, been punished for it and said he’ll learn from his mistake. I hope he does, and I wish him the best moving forward.

Why are you still so hell bent on defending it.

Quoted from toontown

If the ban is for 6 games it won't be "up" until after he has got a new club and missed 6 games for them. Definitely makes his situation tougher under the current circumstances

Not true. If Whitehouse doesn’t sign for a club before GTFC plays a game covered by the ban then he starts serving it as GTFC play even though he has been released and doesn’t have a club.

The FA changed the rules on this back in 2002. We benefited then because Georges Santos’ ban from the “battle of Bramall Lane” was served whilst he was in free agent at the start of the 2002/03 season prior to him signing for Town.

There’s a big difference between “sh1t-talking”- telling an opponent he’s useless, he’s having a crap game and you’re going to run rings around him and any form of discriminatory behaviour.

Maybe I’m a soft leftie but I believe everyone has a right to go to work and not face any physical or verbal abuse. Why should footballers be expected to have to tolerate it?

Whitehouse came across as a very nice bloke when he spoke to my then 9-year-old son away at Macclesfield at the start of the 2018/19 season. He’s made a mistake. Has it cost him his job? No. He would have gone anyway because of the current situation.

Teacher teacher he called me a bad name.

I can see the offence if it was colour related but this is a case of snowflakery of the highest level ffs.
It’s pathetic tbh.
