So they accept his explanation that he didn’t realise his comments would offend? Wow.

He should be banned for life.

Bit mental that. Should be a much longer ban.

Doesn’t seem keen on Iraqis either the nob

It appears they are accepting that the guy is a caveman and therefore shouldn’t be judged the same way the rest of us should.

So being a stupid f-ckwit means you’re not actually a ‘conscious racist‘.

Intention is important in these judgments.

Racist opinions aren’t illegal. It’s the airing of them, and the intention in doing so that is the issue.

Clearly the FA are of the view that whilst his comments did offend, it wasn’t the guys intention.

I’d imagine a lot of people at the FA make similar comments. Probably don’t want to trip themselves up by punishing him too harshly.

Looks like a gammon TBF.

Burnett is correct, any other job it is straight instant dismissal for gross misconduct. However, where he and others are wrong is that other jobs don't issue industry bans which effectively constrain the person from earning a living and carrying out their profession. If he were a plumber he's walk into another plumbing job. That whole aspect I disagree with.

"not a conscious racist"

The equivalent of judging the guy to have a low double digit IQ.

If they're correct, it doesn't say much for the managers whose teams finished below Crawley in League Two last season.

In that case, he can issue a standard "I'm sorry for any offence taken" statement and we can consider the matter resolved.

Sounds like an absolute moron.

Speaking of curry pizzas though, anyone had one? few indian takeaways around me have been doing them for a while now. korma pizzas etc. pretty good though i prefer their pizzas with tandoori kebab meats on or mixed grill. Game changer, like when they started doing kebabs with naan breads instead of pitas imo on average indian takeaways do better kebabs than your average kebab house/pizza place. Fack now im hungry.

I filtered him just because there are too many R’s and D’s in his name. Turns out to be justified.

Place in Troon used to do a traditional breakfast pizza - egg, bacon, black pudding, haggis, Lorne sausage, mushies - was the dogs. No beans right enough.

Described Muslim members of the squad as "terrorists"

- Deliberately mispronounced the second half of Arnold Schwarzenegger's name to emphasise the N-word

- Used a racial stereotype to a black player of African origin by asking if he liked jerk chicken

- Told Muslim players "your people blow up stuff with vests"

- Said that an Iraqi youth international at the club "would probably blow up the stadium"

- Repeatedly made comments about another player "carrying a bomb in his bag"

- Called one player a "curry muncher" and asked if the player was unhappy that they did not server "curry pizza"

- Made a remark to one player about "how dark his skin is'" on his return to Crawley after representing Grenada

Just banter innit
