In all the excitement of yesterday's match, I completely missed the report being published. And yes, for anyone else who was unaware of the facts of the case, this is utterly damning.

As for his defence… well, all I can say is that if he didn't know of the word's existence (as he claims) until after he said it, then he must be the world's unluckiest goalkeeper to have accidentally strung those two exact syllables together at random, *and* directed them against a person for whom they constitute one of the worst slurs in the language. And the fact that Spanish has equivalent insults like "negrata" and "negraco", which are equally unacceptable in Spain and not a million miles away from what he said, not to mention the blindingly obvious point that they get saturated with all the American films and music where that word is used... I mean, claiming ignorance is a whole new level of twonkery.

That "defense" is unbelievable, and the so called action from the FA is deplorable and, if anything, even worse.

What I find equally depressing is the reaction from a number of Leeds supporters who seem to think it’s no big deal what Casilla said and are wholly supportive of him. They then turn round and say that there is a conspiracy against the club and everybody hates Leeds United. On the last point, they may well be correct .....hard to think why that may be Dodgy

This ban is totally wrong it should be a lot longer. The whole process took way to long and I feel sorry for Leko with no back up from kick it out and the PFA. Leko’o statement shows what a good person he is and I hope he comes back stronger after his injury. As for Leeds for me they are a nasty and an irrelevant club with some sick fans who are backing Casilias.
