This whole episode has become quite confusing to someone who was once involved, to now sitting some way from the action.
I would like to know firstly, how the noises or actions purported to be used by the offender are not racist, if they were as described on this thread - there are plenty of precedents for this and the sanction seemed to be right.
Secondly, if the learned Judicial committee found that the actions were not racist (again, confusing as there are precedents and "case law"), but were offensive or insulting, how can someone be sentenced to 8 weeks when the penalty set down is two weeks (I think).
I also wonder why his Club appealed the decision handed down by CF - do they condone that sort of behaviour?
I may have made some assumptions but this is how I see it from a distance.
