Re: Kiko Casilla
If we just park this case for a second. The FA, as far as I can work out, is answerable to no one. A law unto itself as it were. However it would be an interesting question to ask if the length of time it has taken will be the benchmark for other similar cases for it is inevitable there will be more
A follow up question, if the answer is no is why this case is then so special

Re: Kiko Casilla
I’m not sure why the length of time is relevant. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. It was obviously a complex case, and of a sensitive nature, so it seems fine to make sure that everything was done correctly.PhoenixUnited wrote:If we just park this case for a second.

Having read through the report, it seems to have been a careful and thorough investigation, and a fairly sympathetic hearing and conclusion.

Leko has tonight criticised the PFA and the 22 weeks it took to resolve. He had no guidance or support. He'd question reporting something similar again...

I agree with him should have been dealt with much quicker, the people who run football are on a different planet.kk_white wrote:Leko has tonight criticised the PFA and the 22 weeks it took to resolve. He had no guidance or support. He'd question reporting something similar again...
As for guidance & support I think he needs to question his own Club on that. By that I mean both Charlton team he was playing for and West Brom his parent Club.

This angle is something I think a lot of us (including me) had overlooked.kk_white wrote:Leko has tonight criticised the PFA and the 22 weeks it took to resolve. He had no guidance or support. He'd question reporting something similar again...
The length of time wasn't just bad for Casilla, who had the backing of a whole club who wanted him to get off , but it must've been grim for Leko, who stood to gain nothing if he 'won' apart from vindication. Very poor from Kick it Out, the PFA and others that he felt so unsupported and alone.
Irrespective of the way that guilt is determined, those reporting what is essentially a hate crime should never end up feeling that it was such a horrific process they might not report it if it happened again..

Would think its a tough one for the PFA prior to the hearing as they would have responsibility towards both players and couldn't be seen taking sides.Leonickroberts wrote:This angle is something I think a lot of us (including me) had overlooked.kk_white wrote:Leko has tonight criticised the PFA and the 22 weeks it took to resolve.

Re: Kiko Casilla
Good point Selby, but you'd like to think that they could find a way to help a player/member through the difficult time when they presumably feel very unsupported, without taking a side.Selby White wrote:Would think its a tough one for the PFA prior to the hearing as they would have responsibility towards both players and couldn't be seen taking sides.Leonickroberts wrote:This angle is something I think a lot of us (including me) had overlooked.kk_white wrote:Leko has tonight criticised the PFA and the 22 weeks it took to resolve.

Re: Kiko Casilla
Moving forward, id like to see kiko come out and make a public apology.
If he does this i see no reason not to forgive him this mistake and move on .

What I can't understand is, that in what must have been a packed area, more people didn't hear it when he has supposed to have shouted loudly
It has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt
Just my opinion
