Darren Bent is the latest figure to weigh in on the debate surrounding Leeds United shot-stopper Kiko Casilla following the Football Association’s official wording on his eight-game ban for racially abusing Jonathan Leko.The former Premier League striker took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the decision and in the politest way possible, he slammed the punishment, labelling it “mediocre”.He said:
The FA released their reasoning for the suspension on Tuesday, claiming the 33-year-old had breached FA Rule E3(2) resulting in him also receiving a £60k fine and ordered to attend face-to-face education.
But that isn’t enough in the eyes of Bent – and you have to agree with him.
Another issue out in the public eye at the minute is Daniel Sturridge’s ban for breaking gambling regulations – his six-week suspension has been extended to four months as per The Guardian, which makes a mockery of this situation.
Whose Line Is It Anyway: Roy Keane, Graeme Souness or Adrian Durham?
A player found guilty of racially abusing a fellow professional receives less than a private tip-off to a friend. That’s absolutely absurd.
