A condensed version of the article could be:Originally posted by RedReet View PostFor such a long article, I got, to the end thinking what was his, point.Well I got his, point, but what did he add that hasn't already been said a million times?
"The FA may appoint a 4-man panel rather than the usual 3-man panel to look at this case because it (the case) is so complex due to cultural and language differences."

Absolutely idioticOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostWhat an appalling analogy.
Negrito is not known as a racist term in this country, it just sounds like it might be. The idea that 'ignorance is not a defence' is absurd, because it doesn't even enter into the equation as something to be ignorant of.
DefinitelyOriginally posted by Neil Young View PostThe only other thing I'd immediately quibble with there is the idea that "pal" or "mate" can't be cited as an alternative. It wouldn't be an exact parallel but, in the context discussed here, either can be not meant as a friendly term.
For all the talk about context with 'negrito' they fail to see you can use the word 'mate' in a patronisingly familiar way. It is an entirely reasonable idea that Suarez was trying to wind him up but that racism had **** all to do with it.Like blood on iron

Totally agree, one of the most menacing people i've ever met spoke softly and called people "my friend" just before he'd break their jaw.
