Haven't seen any other details yet, but as someone who gave me one of my best city supporting moments, it disappointing.
Sad news. Stuff that you rather hope isn't true really ..
I'm intrigued to know on what basis he was found guilty. If I'm not mistaken, it was very much a case of one players word against the other, Turner strongly denying the accusation. Is it a case of innocent if there is reasonable doubt or balance of probabilities?

In these instances I think the punishment should fit the crime.
During the next Burton/Brentford game Yennaris should be allowed to yell "HONKY" very loudly in Turner's general direction on at least three occasions throughout the game.
