This in my humble opinion was a joke of a ban......... Whitehouse probably took a few kicks and reacted with an off the cuff comment........... not a racial tirade against the player............ FFS when are people going to grow a set of bollox and start acting like men. I don;t care how many red crosses I get, this world is turning into a nampy pampy pile of crap, where people are afraid to say a single world without offending anybody. Sticks and stones and all of that !!!! I hate out and out racism, but I really don't think this comment even comes close.........
UTM
He didn’t just say ‘a single word’ though, did he? He literally could have called him a hundred other names as an insult and absolutely nothing would have happened. C*nt, W**nker, pri*ck, tosspiece, you name it. Would’ve been fine, happens all the time and is part of the game. Instead, he chose to say a word which is offensive to people of his ethnicity. Sorry if this upsets you, but you can’t do that. And you don’t get to decide whether that’s an offensive term or not.

The racist snowflakes are still crying about someone getting a slap on the wrist.
How flipping hard is it to understand. Jesus Christ lads, get over it.
Sorry sam but I take offence to you using my lords name in vain like that, I have a right for you not to make comment that belittles the deity upon which my faith is based, you should be banned from the fishy as a result

Wow. Just wow.
Rob, just close this thread before it becomes a farce...
It's going round in circles but it's a point worthy of discussion. A player gets banned for something he said. Does the punishment fit the crime? Have the football authorities stepped too far? Some people think it was too much. Others disagree. What do the rules actually say and have they been applied correctly in this case? Should discussion of these issues even be banned? I am sure if we were discussing the length of the ban for an offence like spitting it wouldn't be decreed something that can't even be mentioned.

A bit of common assault makes everything ok? Whitehouse pleaded guilty and has brought GTFC into disrepute, I do not know what part of this those defending him cannot understand.
Yes !!

You don't have to be a man of the cloth to believe in a mythical deity.

There must be some mythical scale of racism I am not aware of......is it on a 1 -10. Where does p***y fit then?
Above p**i but below n***er? He used racist language. Hopefully some of the neanderthals on here will eventually realise that.
Genuinely saddens me that anyone attempts to defend it.
