8 game ban sounds about right to me, Tonev got a 7 game ban for racially abusing Logan the Aberdeen player.

Always admired Dean Shiels and how he overcame his disability to play at a decent level.
For once the SFA have done the right thing with this ban and hopefully it sends out the message that mocking someone’s disability, race, religion or sexuality etc is not acceptable in this day and age.
I am sure we have all heard some off colour ‘banter’ at games or in the workplace and people deal with it in different ways and in the right spirit can be humouous but when it is called out like this and appears so nasty and vindictive they deserve all they get.Last edited by Spike Mandela; 09-11-2017 at 02:08 PM.

Its setting an example to kids that this behaviour is not acceptable.

Kids aren't going to stop taking the piss out of folk, or bullying folk, because a Falkirk player got an 8 match ban.
Cantona got a 9 month ban for his kung fu kick, kids still had fights in the playground the next day.

If I was to make a comment like that to someone in my workplace, I would lose my job as that would be deemed gross misconduct.
Falkirk should sack him and his sidekick if he's found guilty as well.

Not saying you're wrong that the punishment should be harsher by the way. I just don't think the whole "my workplace" argument that gets used a lot on here is that strong - if I behaved in my office like I do on the pitch I would have been sacked every week. Different work environments have different standards and codes of conduct... not just football (take a bricky and a vicar for example )
Having said all that - taunting someone about a disability like Deano's wouldn't be acceptable in any workplace. No chance of sacking in this case though.

The fact that football is different to a "normal" job makes no difference when it comes to a situation like this. No employer should tolerate this type of behaviour by one of its employees.
I don't see any difference between this incident and if it had been an incident of racist abuse. If it had been racism they were accused of then there's no question they would have been sacked if the accusation had been proven.
