A footballer whose team could face an FA fine for walking off the pitch after he was racially abused says "it sends out completely the wrong message".

Unfortunately, not unbelievable.
A pathetic response from the football authorities.

Disgraceful. Completely the wrong message.

Gillingham reserves don`t affect the public image of the FA. If it had been in the Prem/Champ there is no way on this Earth that that charge would have been brought

FA for along time now have not been fit for purpose

Did you see that the fan was later banned for life and was 74 years old!

That is good news that he's been banned and I am sure the player will feel that side of its been dealt with but, to charge him for walking away from racial abuse is wrong, especially when the England manager said he would support his players if they chose to do it.
