Yes, really poor. Surprising as I met him earlier in the year and he seemed a quiet, unassuming man.

Six games would put him out until round 19 at the end of July

good job he wont miss any of our top six play off games

I only saw the highlights of the game as I was away, who was supposed to be the victim because all I saw was Meadows getting offended on what looked like somebody else’s behalf. If the evidence is strong then why did it take London over a week to produce it?

Don’t know why it took so long. That has to be questioned.

I either thought homophobic or racist, towards Meadows or Adebiyi, but more probably the former. It was instantly after he was badly done by with a knock on call - which was a strip (not that it condones any discrimination).

Unfortunately some people do make things up, sometimes they make up the most outrageous lies and they can be very convincing.

And most of the time, people don’t. We have to believe victims and hope it’s not made up.

Why would someone make up discrimination, when it won’t affect them at all going forwards? A player banned wouldn’t help a London player at all. It’s more of an unlikely story then he actually said something.

What's unacceptable language? If you call someone an "effing C@@@" would you get 6 matches for that? Pretty much standard thing to call each other when i used to play. Even your own team mates

Offence towards a protected characteristic.

You don’t see how having one of our better players banned for a number of games could benefit London?

Is it? I've not read the charge, just saw that in the possible offences it covers

Given there is no relegation then no, there is no benefit to London.
Even it there was that feels a little too pre-mediatated to be plausible.
The only conceivable benefit is getting a player sent off in a game but in that scenario the accusation would be false so the referee would have to think he heard what was claimed so it seems a bit of long shot.

I was answering “what’s in acceptable language?”. That’s what I would say would deserve a ban.

I refuse to believe players are trying to get opposition teams’ players banned to help them not finish bottom of the league by making up discriminatory comments.

Do you believe that could be the case?
