Reward or Punishment?

If MOTD wants to be forum for ex-players opinions on off the pitch issues rather than showing Premier League highlights, it should change its definition. Noticeable that nobody on the programme has spoken out about Rio Ferdinand's tweet approving a racial insult of Ashley Cole. But it's not just Shearer, Merlin. Lineker and Crooks have both used their BBC positions to speak out pro Ferdinand, anti JT for months. I could write at length about the FA's sole authority to bring charges, judge on those charges and also on any appeals process. All on the basis of probability, too. Imagine if the police had the same powers? But this is JT and of course he is the devil incarnate so all is justifiable.

That'll keep him fresh and ready

I was reading an article from the guardian where they said that anyone using a racist slur would be sacked from there job and that chelsea should sack JT. So the media are on there crusade again they can't stand the fact that chelsea are winning. But in that article they didn't mention anything about Suarez being sacked. So obviously it is the usual biased media crap. I can't even stomach reading it anymore. The bias is just so clear for everyone to see and the article also said Ashley and JT are an embarrassment to chelsea and to England. I was more embarrassed by the verbal diarrhea of the English media.

Honestly speaking, I've been trying to find a something the FA could do in order to really stop the players from being total karnts since Rio insulted Cole on Twitter and I think that Shearer has hit the nail on the head. I do agree with him, a ban should be the new punishment inflicted to players who play for an FA-owned organisation. I don't want to see Cole banned, but I was absolutely disgusted to see Rio get away with a 45000 pounds fine for that choc ice tweet. The guy earns much more than that at Man U, what the hell does 45000 pounds mean to him? He goes to restaurant with 45000 pounds in arse pocket! Fines are not enough anymore, these are really easy escapes, the players earn far too much. Yes Cole may be banned for a game, but if this sort of rule can make the likes of Rooney, Rio etc suffer a little bit more then I'm all for it. Cole shouldn't have tweeted this, whether he was right or not, let it be clear. It was silly from him. But there are players who have done FAR WORSE than that and who have got away with it fairly easily.

I agree. No one called for Suarez sacking.

I would like to see chelsea players out of trouble with anyone and focus on the games ahead.

We have to take up this matter intelligently guys, the media sharks are at it again and this is a plou to derail our sparkling start to the season, if the FA are not cowards, then they should ban him for the two international games and not for chelsea's game, and the club should fine cole, cos his action might cost us at the long run, we don't need the FA to be on our throats as the refs and media are doing now.

Cole has replyed him on twitter.
