Joshua Bull crowned FPL champion for 2019/20

Not sure if this is your monthly serious comment, but if it is - I would guess it's fine, he's already been punished for it.

That was my first thought too. What if he hadn't won this year and won next year and then it came out, would he still have been disqualified?

Or just don't post racist comments, if you do, then face the consequences

Ok this is bs policing nonsense. How can they ever enforce this. Every year's winner will now get their social media scrutinized.

New life rule. Don’t say them full stop and then you will never have to worry. You think a private conversation racist is not as bad as a public one?

What did he say?!!

😀

I just murdered my mini league rival and wrote "FPL sux" on the wall with his intestines, but it doesn't say I can't do that in the rules so I should be ok.

Watched a documentary on Aussie Rules the other night.

Was an episode where player called out someone in crowd for racist abuse. Problem was she was a thirteen year old girl. Player said she should be helped not vilified as she was a victim of her background/education. He was of course the one that ended up vilified.

Says the King of Stupid

It's a sad precedent they set. Now imagine you have to righteous to even take part. Any past failing even a mailing means you get stripped out of your account nevermind your winning

He said that Sterling isnt world class player

I bet he doesn’t

I don't think he'd want to be seen giving presents to racists. Kinda indicates he disagrees with the decision.

From the video, it’s clear that one of his ‘friends’ sent it in

yup, i was jealous

What was the comment?

If someone sends FPL proof of disgusting things Magnus has said then I'm sure they would look into that too.

Agreed, he should have been banned from playing next season, he got the most points fairly, what he said is irrelevant to his performance so he should be penalised going forwards, not backwards.

or proof of how some see racism as acceptable

Not like that mate and I ain't British but they have to follow their own rules which they don't.

First time in 3 years that a Tanzanian or Kiwi won it

They cant. FPL towers are disgrace to this game.

Hope so.

Showing their true colours for sure

yup mate, they are racists probably just like poor guy Berbatov

He got what he deserved and his team was deleted. He has been punished.

I carry on with my insignificant life as well at 322k 🙂

Now let's talk of breaching the rules where masses have more than one team.

If you make rules then then they need be applied and aren't when you just deleted someones team!

Yup, take screenshots if they ever win FPL or something....SMH

I don’t think anyone is questioning whether racism should be punished or not, that’s obvious it should.
I think how they have handled and penalised him is wrong, the season finished over 2 weeks ago - this scandal has nothing to do with the original winner’s performance.

They should ban him for a year.

If somebody has broken the rules they should be disqualified, as simple as that for me. It will be interesting what the reason is, however.

You really are a new kind of stupid, huh?

Forget the rules.

He's trying to play down the severity of it without outright denying it. He has a YouTube channel he wants to make something of.

This. It's actually not that hard to come out of it looking reasonably good. Nobody's perfect, and being anti-racist doesn't mean you've never been racist in your life - but it does mean taking responsibility for what you've done and learning from it.

True. Eventually accepted private racism becomes accepted public racism when you get the chance to elect right-wing, openly racist politicians.

Well said !
Also don't get offended if someone corrects you 🙂

I think he said it in jest and frustration, with ignorance towards the severity of racism. He probably then forgot about the whole incident and then as it became apparent later down the line one of his so called jealous friends released it somehow to the big wigs when he realised he had a chance of winning it.

Would explain why his team has only just been deleted now.

They have said 'soon'

Maybe when fixture are released ?

This Friday I reckon

Fixtures expected on the 21st, probably around then.

He had no multiple teams. Not wahat he has been deleted for.

This would at least create fear amongst FPL community !

I don't think we do. He allegedly used the n-word in reference to Sterling. No wiggle-room there!

Looks like the person who snitched was extremely jealous of him

Hoping for loads of replies - so Boly is the new VVD 🙂

Does the Jonny injury impact their clean sheet chances?

He's always been special. 😀

Not just Boly - a lot of the slow start was to the EL. Look at those early results - so many 1-1s that could have been 1-0 with fresher legs and minds. Remember they hardly rotated their squad. So for me, the answer to your question depends heavily on whether they win the El and are in the CL, or don't win the EL and just have the PL to focus on. If the latter, their defensive assets could be gold.

They had a mad looking run of only 1 CS in 16 Gameweeks (9-24)

Boly was injured from GW10-24 though so make of that what you will

When Billy Willy returned in GW24, they kept 9 CS's in his next 14 starts

They also kept 3 CS in his first 9

I'd say it's fair to expect 15+ CS's when Boly is fit for 38 games- that's pretty elite, 15-20 CS's is generally difficult for any team

Only if they win FPL

Like in my country, you are not allowed to protect your family when an intruder climbs into your yard even when they have a firearm pointing it at your face. So he can shoot your whole family dead but you can do nothing at first.

Makes sense right. There is no justice for the innocent and that guy which killed your family will get bail and walk the streets the following day 😀

Rules are made and then bent by the makers.

I'm holding a vigil for the guy who made racist comments, please join me. If we don't stand up for him now then next year FPL and Bill Gates will take over the world

I see this joke has already been made - back into my hole I go

Those Romans were pretty nasty too. Genghis Khan not exactly an angel and his descendants account for 0.5% of the world’s male population

Try again. Or better yet don’t try again

Wah?
