Newcastle United are expected to appeal against Jonjo Shelvey’s five-match suspension and £100,000 Football Association fine after an independent disciplinary commission found the former England midfielder guilty of directing racially aggravated language towards an opponent.

That misconduct charge was imposed following allegations that arguably Rafael Benítez’s most influential player directed racially abusive language towards Romain Saïss, a Moroccan midfielder, in the 87th minute of the 2-0 Championship defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park on 17 September.
It is understood that at Tuesday’s hearing in Birmingham the three Wolves players called as witnesses gave slightly varying accounts of the alleged insult, with one claiming Shelvey had called Saïss “a smelly Arab”. Another witness is believed to have claimed he heard the word Arab attached to a different insult while the third is understood to have suggested he used the word “Moroccan” in a derogatory context.

Newcastle sources say Shelvey, who has also been ordered to attend an FA education course, continues to maintain his innocence and is adamant he did not use the words in question. It also appears the midfielder was taunted about his baldness before the incident but claims he did not rise to the bait.

Jonjo's defense should be that he was being a bit racist because the other player was follist, in other words expressing prejudice towards baldies.
 
And there were many.
I knew a Father Clint Power being my favorite.
On a side note when did Graham Linehan turn into a pompous prick?
No doubt he's a fantastic writer but I know a few that have met him and they all agreed that he was a cunt.

Massive thin-skinned smug cunt
 
He gets a load of shit for being a gypsy. The stoke fans had a couple of boss songs about him, Harry Potter is frightened of you was a goodun, but they were singing wheels on your house go round and round. I mean that's abuse based on ethnicity innit. So he should be let off coz he's got some in the bank.

I'm not sure I agree that getting racist abuse (although that wheels one is a bit funny) gives you a free pass to dish it out, but I'm a bit like I was with that whole Tyson Fury gay thing

He was brought up in a totally enclosed, fervently religious, single ethnicity Gypsy community

What did you fucking EXPECT him to say?

That last bit was Tyson, not Jonjo. But environment has to be a factor
 
Jonjo Shelvey has been banned for five games and fined £100,000, the Football Association has confirmed.
The Newcastle United midfielder was hit by the charges earlier this week after it was alleged he used racial abuse towards Wolverhampton Wanderers player Romain Saiss.

Shelvey denied the claims, but the fine and ban have been upheld after a hearing conducted by an independent regulatory commission.

Shelvey is alleged to have called Saiss an "Arab c***" during a game between Newcastle and Wolves back in September.

The incident is said to have developed following Newcastle midfielder Vurnon Anita's sending-off in Wolves' 2-0 win.

Saiss, a French-born Moroccan international, brandished an imaginary card as the referee assessed the situation. Shelvey is said to have taken issue with this.




Dominic Iorfa, Matt Doherty and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, three Wolves players, all testified against Shelvey at a hearing.

Iorfa said he heard Shelvey call Saiss an "Arab c***" and an "Arab prick".

Irish defender Doherty said he heard the England midfielder call his teammate a "Moroccan prick" and an "Arab c***", while Borthwick-Jackson said he heard him call Saiss a "smelly Arab c***."

Shelvey has accepted the fine, but maintains that he did not racially insult Saiss.

He said he called him a "smelly-breathed prick", in response to Saiss calling him a "bald c***." Shelvey has suffered from alopecia since he was a child.

He admitted calling Iorfa a "peasant" because he earns more money than him. He said he was "cashing off" the player.
