Employment Rules Of Conduct

[french frank]

I'm completely mystified about this gesture & why it's deemed ant-semitic. In my dictionary quenelles are small dumplinks made of fish or meat, simmered in water.

I haven't misunderstood you, then.

yes you have
You haven't been doing the literacy course, have you ?

I said

racism is unacceptable full stop.

""I think it's likely to be more complex than just being associated with the far right," says Jim Shields of Aston University, an expert on the French far right, because Dieudonne has been involved with anti-racist left-wing activists as well as far-right activists. "At the moment, the use of this gesture seems too diffuse to fit any simple right-left interpretation.""

& "It is the trademark of the hugely controversial French comedian Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, who once said he would like to put a quenelle - a rugby-ball-shaped serving of fish or meat paste - up the backside of Zionists. "

so, again, anti-Zionist comments are being called anti-semitic, which they aren't.

Help each other, you might get there eventually.

[Flosshilde]

Oh, I got there a long time ago. Perhaps your hero's friends might catch up eventually?

[MrGongGong]

FFS

Racism is unacceptable wherever
which is what I said

(though some people seem to think it's OK .............
you should be careful who you choose as friends )

Who's my hero then, Flossie?

Well, it's what your saying now. Had to be led to it, didn't you?

[MrGongGong]

Errrr
NOT at all

I just don't have any time for football
it bores me rigid

You been on the "i'm a knob" juice again ?

I had no idea who this person was
I don't know anything about football
but the idea that somehow it attracts racist twats is a bit of a
"no shit Sherlock" moment

[Beef Oven!]

I don't know anything about football

It's not about football. I thought you and your pals were getting there, but I was wrong.

[MrGongGong]

Yes, you are being a knob

[teamsaint]

I thought the thread was about employment contracts. (which affects us all).

But apparently its about how football attracts racists, and is full of violent tendencies.

Unlike music.

Seems odd that the club deemed his public statement a fundamental breach of conduct, but not his quenelle gesture.

Is that quite accurate? The sacking was, according to that story, for both offences:

"The club is sacking him for his conduct that day and his social media outburst." The FA had already suspended him for 5 matches, fined him £80,000 and ordered him to attend an education course. The club suspended him and, in addition, wanted him to apologise.

So you could say that it wasn't two different offences and two different punishments; more that his refusal to accept the terms of his original punishment - which he publicised in the tweet - resulted in his sacking. No? I don't understand the workings of football disciplinary measures.
