Referees to be sent on language course

Following the ban on Luis Suarez for a racist comment, it has been claimed that the FA is racially prejudiced against players from Spanish-speaking nations. It seems that referees and FA officials would not understand racial or abusive comments made in many other languages – for example, Korean, Arabic, Russian. It means that players from some nations currently have an unfair advantage.

It seems as though the FA are responding quickly and have found a quick solution as all referees will be forced to learn between 5-10 racist comments in up to 40 languages within the first two weeks of 2012. Racists from around the world are being flown in to teach the referees the offensive terms.

    Lady Knobhead often uses her knowledge of Korean to hurl insults at traffic wardens and other incompetent motorists. Let's hope traffic wardens don't go on the same language course. (FootballCynic writes: Presumably that's when she's on her way for a picnic at Ji-Sung Park)
