But how has this taken 9 months to resolve?!

I thought this was interesting from Preston:
"We also note that The FA determined that this decision offers no moral judgement, was not premeditated nor any comment about his general character."
This is the player that got an 8 game ban for biting a player earlier in the same season, and is generally a pretty unpleasant type on the pitch. |  |

It’s gonna take a decade before City suffer for their 115 cases of cheating. The wheels of football justice barely turn, let alone slowly. |  |

Reminds me of Bleak House. Years to resolve Jarndice v Jarndice, people are born and die, the case grinds on, wheels barely turning.
And when it is resolved, the lawyers have eaten the estate in fees.
In other words, there’s more chance of me making Pope than Man City ever being held accountable for anything. |  | | |

The guy is an absolute wrongun anyway. He spat on one of the, i believe, leicester, players the season we went up. Hes just a walking advert for pond life it seems. Would seem a good bet that this case got the correct outcome |  | | |

Alan Nixon appeared to defend him, then subsequently blocked/removed everyone on Twitter that called him out on it. |  | | |

Sounds pieticularly out of character for Nixon to drop a ludicrous take like that then to run away crying when people call him out and mock him for it. [Post edited 7 Nov 2025 18:58]

Rough week for Nixon after being outwitted by a pie. | |

9 months for this to get a hearing is absurd, but maybe it was delayed while the Plod dithered over whether it was worth prosecuting? [Post edited 8 Nov 2025 10:22]

Pathetic as usual from the FA on multiple fronts.
Fans who racially abuse players and other spectators are generally fined and banned indefinitely. Why is he only serving nine games? I wonder whether asset value has anything to do with it... |  |

What about Preston’s code of conduct? Do they have one? Do we? Would we allow a player to represent us that plays in this manner? Why didnt Preston discipline the player? Or did they? In fairness I haven’t checked.
Edit : re reading Preston support him as he said he was not guilty.
The whole thing baffles me.
Second Edit : player seems to have no prior history, and did deny it the whole way through, so going complete circle on myself is the ban harsh based on “balance of probabilities “ and therefore lack of incontrovertible evidence? [Post edited 8 Nov 2025 7:07]

Were we linked with Osmajovic or was it just a few fans suggesting we should be? He seems a pretty unpleasant character all round.
He appears to be starting for Preston today so I guess they have appealed the ban. |  |

The comments from Preston are odd. Surprising that they want to defend him at all rather than staying quiet, but are they even correct in what they claim the FA has said?
First, this is the decision of an independent panel, not the FA.
Secondly, in what document or statement has the "FA determined that this decision offers no moral judgement"? The panel's reasons have not yet been published, and the FA's publication of the decision on their website just neutrally reports the facts of what was asserted, what the player argued, and what was found proven.
It's a pretty desperate and misguided straw to clutch at on Preston's part. Do people really think that racially abusing someone is not a moral issue? A panel has banned him, fined him, and ordered him to go on a course. Preston are mad if they think people do not perceive the panel to have made a moral judgement about this conduct, albeit strictly their decision is just whether a rule is broken and what the punishment should be. |  | | |
