Pretty much what I think Dave. Bielsa has accepted the decision. He's also given Kiko a glowing reference, which is a paradox. Can you say something judged to be Racist and still be nice? Of course, most of our grandparents for example.

This is totally normal for any civil matter or employment tribunal etc. The beyond reasonable doubt is a very high standard and used exclusively for criminal charges in this country To suggest that there is ' no evidence' as some have said is nonsense - they had Leko to whom the remarks were said plus another Charlton player , realistically what other evidence would fans expect ? The balance of probabilities means " the preponderance of evidence" " more likely than not" "51%" so they still have to consider all the circumstances and decide the most likely 'truth' I think the timing of the decision stinks - take a week after hearing all the witnesses and submissions to decide but not willing to wait another16 hours so as not to mess the whole team up Also , to me, they should give their reasons / explanations at the same time so that everyone knows which facts they found to be trueDo the team and fans back Kiko in the meantime and then hear that he was found to have said something totally disgusting and reprehensible? If we knew what he said ( no longer alleged) we can decide how bad it is. I read the full reasons re Forestieri and whilst long they let everyone know what the panel believed he said ( I dont recall lufc moaning about the standard of proof then) it mentions the reactions of the players involved etc Finally some fans are saying it gives black players carte blanche to make allegations , but they dont do they, so that should perhaps tell us something about this case? On the field we will find out in the next 8 matches if it is a blessing in disguise or a real blow Whatever, we need to use it to our advantage today and really go for the jugular from the off today v a team I disarray DavePS re person asking about match reports I only do them from games I go to live ( almost exclusively home ones thses days) Sent from Sky Yahoo Mail on Android _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
