Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Montana]

Back to the High Court, get the fa sorted out

[ashey]

****in love that statement. Come out swinging. Luis knows the whole club is behind him, & the FA know we won't be pushed around anymore.
The New Liverpool Way.

It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.

So why ban him then ?

[danperkins]

We are seriously up against it without Suarez. Some players are goingto have to step up! As good a time as any for Andy Carroll to show us why we bought him.

I may be wrong, but i'm 90% sure we cant take this to a 'normal' court.

Clubs all agree, via signed documentation, to respect the footballing authorities authority on all matters football and not to take footballing issues to 'normal' courts. Incidentally, this is what FC Sion are now doing, regarding their elimination from European competition by Uefa. Hence why FIFA is threatening to ban Switzerland and all Swiss clubs from competition if the Swiss FA do not act against Sion for taking the issue away from the footballing environment and onto a court of standard law and order.

WTF, any chance for a cheap shot a Carroll

Sky already backtracking. Pointing out Suarez' mixed race background and charity work. The British public can be a very strange animal at times and generally do not like to see anybody thrown to the wolves like this. The next few months should be very interesting.

[Shaggy]

Mancs are going ape**** over our statement.

Yep follow a few Mancs on Twitter who I normally consider to be sound and reasonably intelligent. Up in arms, calling it "predictably pathetic" and such.

Don't be a ****

[Gibbo]

Bet purple faced cunt cant wait to have some whiskey with his pals from the FA tonight.

[BootRoom]

"We would also like to know when the FA intend to charge Patrice Evra with making abusive remarks to an opponent after he admitted himself in his evidence to insulting Luis Suarez in Spanish in the most objectionable of terms. Luis, to his credit, actually told the FA he had not heard the insult."

And we would also like to know when the FA are going to charge Patrice Evra for challenging the integrity of one of their own officials when Evra claimed he was only getting booked because he is black.

I dont think he was making a cheap shot at Carroll, in fairness. I've had issues with danperkins over this kind of thing but IMHO he's not done anything wrong with that last comment.

This is not a "footballing" issue
