One of the girls has been banned for eight games for ableist abuse. Unfortunately, the News doesn't say what it was, so we can't make a judgement. I'm sceptical that it was that serious.

A chunk of the punishment will be due to her denial of the incident.  And being a scummer.

I’m more concerned at the requirement to go on a ‘re-programming’ course, very 1984 if you ask me.

Wtf is ‘ableist abuse’ anyway ffs?

You can’t force people to be nice, you can suggest to them that it’s a good idea but that is about it. 

If there have to be courses, I think a more useful one would be ‘how to grow a thick skin and ignore insults’ that would be a much better life skill.

She should be suspended for being a scummer of course   .

It was while she was playing for Southampton. Obviously now she has moved up a social strata by playing for Portsmouth, she would never make further any "ist" abuse.

I did wonder what the punishment would be for breaking the other player's leg or laying them out with a Glasgow kiss.
3 matches for GBH
8 games for name calling?

Calling the ref blind?

Genuinely what is ableist abuse?

Dictionary type definition is 'using a disablity as an insult' . 

So calling someone a imbecile or a retard would probably qualify.

Gilles would be in trouble

What if someone actually was one and the words weren’t just being used as an insult? 

Do those words provoke a bad reaction in all cases?

I'd have said that the description 'using disability as an insult' answers that question.

Re-programming seems fair enough if it's reference her being a scummer. 

Also, should be careful - calling someone a scummer fits the definition of an ableist insult.

Ooh another new offence invented. A victory for spineless wimps that can't handle an insult.

A curious statement from our resident twat!

Perhaps he too grew up with "sticks and stones....." being how we were expected to deal with life

Ffs this not being allowed to abuse people, particularly when they deserve it, just ain’t British. In two generations the residents of this country have been turned from Wolves to Poodles! We need to get back to being vile, it was our saving grace.

Wolves? don't thinks so. More like a crotchety labrador.

 Only in the circles you moved in.

We get progressively weaker. While our opponents round the world get stringer and more ruthless. AND we pay them to do it by buying their oil, gas or cheap plastic toys!

Wolves? Why not West Brom or Brum?

Must be a Freudian slip

Could even be Villains
