[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 899592, member: 73144"] Homophobia’s bad. It would be one thing if Shilcock was gay and Solomona called him a f*ggot in full knowledge. But I’ve seen nothing to suggest that was the case and Shilcock doesn’t seem to have reacted like the greviously personally insulted. Solomona says he didn’t say it at all and the evidence to ban him for a few weeks for a stigma offence seems pretty flimsy. If he did say it chances are it meant nothing more to him than calling him a w*nker or a cnut. Some education needed maybe, but wouldn’t a public reprimand have been better? “There were allegations made, but inconclusive proof and the player and his club have been reminded of their responsibilities. Meanwhile Mr Shilcock has been reminded that he wouldn’t have been called a “f*ckanything” had he not dragged Mr Solomona by his collar. We do not expect to have to write in this vein again” kind of thing. Not taking this lightly, but there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of common sense around. Solomona seems to have been penalised for standing his ground, but if he believes he didn’t say it then he’s right to. [/QUOTE]
