Totally agree, it is not in the slightest bit anti-semitic or anything else. Freedom of speech may as well be abolished, whilst we are making strides in certain areas we are going back decades in others.

Apart from the fact that the Rothschilds are Jewish, and the fantasy that Jews control world finance is a well known anti-Semitic and fascist metaphor. It's about as blatant as it gets.
 
I think we are over-estimating the intelligence of the average footballer here.

The problem is, if you don't punish it, it can be seen as a green light for others to say the same. The Potteries is hardly a bastion of multi-cultural enlightenment in the first place.
Worked for Gazza.

Surely, the Gazza defence is "My client was so pissed, he didn't know what he was doing".

Education rather than punishment then. I still feel there's no malice at all in the Tweet, it is at worst, lazy stereotyping similar to accusing all ginger people of burning in the sun (Look forward to the day that is punished by the FA).
 
That's a bit like saying: "My client is a repeat offender. His defence is he's a repeat offender."
Solicitors do it for druggies all the time. "In his defence, he was only shoplifting to feed to his drug habit". The magistrates should be saying "so he is guilty of drug possession too eh? That's an extra ten weeks then"

That was part of it, aye normally.

Think he tried to say he wasn't this time. Just didn't have his dentures in.
