Chelsea dropping the ball with their John Terry punishment



Chelsea dropping the ball with their John Terry punishment The Premier League Owl Today is red letter day, I actually agree with something written by Rob Beasley. Beasley, Chelsea fan, gives his club a hammering in his Sun column for the way they’ve handled the John Terry situation. The combination of the ‘zero tolerance’ policy towards racism, and the fine given to Terry for th […]

Time for UEFA to show some backbone over racism



Time for UEFA to show some backbone over racism The Premier League Owl Racism doesn’t exist in football anymore? The scenes at the end of playoff between Serbia and England in the U21s beg to differ. Words like ‘disgraceful’ and ‘shameful’ are thrown about in the modern game, but they’re completely appropriate tonight, the scenes in Krusevac tonight […]

The FA goes soft on John Terry, sets awful precedent



The FA goes soft on John Terry, sets awful precedent The Premier League Owl Let me run you through a series of similar situations, and recap how The FA decided to retrospectively deal with them. Joey Barton charged with violent conduct for his actions during the final game of last season – 12-game ban. Luis Suarez charged with racially abusing Patrice Evra – 8-game ban. Teflon John […]

Michel Platini getting his excuses ready for racism at Euro 2012



Michel Platini getting his excuses ready for racism at Euro 2012 The Premier League Owl It’s no wonder Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini are allies, they’re essentially the same person. The breathtaking arrogance, the lack of accountability, and the almost sociopathic disregard for causing offence. Like Blatter, Platini resides comfortably inside the padded bubble that is ‘planet football […]

Kenny Dalglish/Wayne Rooney re-open Suarez wounds ahead of Man United/Liverpool



Kenny Dalglish/Wayne Rooney re-open Suarez wounds ahead of Man United/Liverpool Morons. Both of them. Just when the ugliness of the Luis Suarez-issue was fading, back it comes with a vengeance. Kenny Dalglish, on being asked to comment on the Uruguayan’s reappearance last night: “We don’t think he should ever have been away but we are delighted to get him back.” That’s the equivalent o […]

Fabio Capello should have no say over John Terry’s England future



Notice that word: future. That’s the basis for this decision, and equally, that same future doesn’t involve Fabio Capello. After Euro 2012, the England team and the future of the national team are no longer of any concern to the Italian. The question with the Terry issue is a hypothetical. What if he captain’s his country […]

Why John Terry should be omitted from the England squad going to Euro 2012



Why John Terry should be omitted from the England squad going to Euro 2012 Take football out of the equation here, and look at this from the FA’s point of view. John Terry is now due to stand trial for alleged racial abuse in July, which of course falls after the European Championships. Up until that point obviously, we’ll be no closer to having a resolution to this ugly mess. This is not about being […]

Still troubled by Liverpool’s Luis Suarez T-Shirts



It’s one of those issues that is truly divisive, and there don’t seem to be many fence-sitters regarding Liverpool’s support of Luis Suarez at Wigan on Wednesday night. I understand Kenny Dalglish’s desire to support his player, much as I do the Liverpool players’ unity in the face of adversity – but this w […]

The FA had no choice over the punishment for Liverpool’s Suarez



The FA had no choice over the punishment for Liverpool’s Suarez The moment that the FA decided to charge Luis Suarez, they created a no-win situation for themselves. Liverpool will rage about the eight-game ban that’s been handed down, but it was really the only course of action once the player was found guilty. I’m not debating the Uruguayan’s guilt or innocence, merely the action tha […]

Blatter apology doesn’t mask how out of touch he is



“It hurts and I am still hurting because I couldn’t envisage such a reaction” That’s Sepp Blatter on the subject of you know what – and that illustrates the problem perfectly. Blatter isn’t really sorry for the comments he made about racism within the game, he just regrets the reaction that those comments p […]
