Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Vermilion]

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.

Remind them they've had a drugs cheat playing and helping them win things for years.

edit: Oh, sorry, that'll be a waste of time, they didn't accept Rio missed the test on purpose did they.

****ing sick of this game.

Carroll might just grab this opportunity to step up, we'll have Maxi and Bellamy plus Gerrard on his way back, now everyone else needs to buckle up. Luis can take a nice holiday and come back refreshed after the ban.

Maybe we can't get the ban shortened but I'd like them to sue the FA for defamation of character regardless, and Evra as well. Let the ban stick but go after them anyway!

You sound like spoiled brat, you jumped.. and you were wrong at least be mature enough to admit it?

Actually clearly you won't so let us move on

Like I said this is NOT the time or the place. If you want to continue PM me

I well believe that the decision was made last friday. The 4 days since have been used to delay, thus ensuring that the 8th game of the ban will be Man Utd away.


Court of Arbitration for Sport, yes. 'Normal' courts of law and order, such as the High Court as some have suggested however, no. I think.

You may well be right about Suarez taking private legal action. But i'm not sure it'd count as a restraint of trade, as he'd still be being paid during the ban. If someone is suspended from work on full pay, they too couldnt take legal action due to a restraint of trade as their pay would still be being paid.

He could argue that he's being denied the opportunity to earn appearance fees/win bonuses etc.

I said nothing wrong, let us move on.

I hope Terry doesn't get banned, he's shot and usually costs them a goal a game

The difference is that a member of the public made a complaint about what Terry did, which turns it into a public order offence related to racism/inciting racism. That turns it into a legal issue outside the confines of footballing authorities. With the Suarez thing, there was no complaint from any member of the public, so it is not dealt with by the law of the land and falls solely under the durisdiction of football.

Evra, as much as we dislike it. IS a member of the public, just like you and me

I'm not sure what the Bosman ruling has to do with this?

That was an issue of employment issues and rights, which falls under EU law. This kind of thing doesnt.

I didn't say it had anything to do with this case. It was just an example of a challenge of footballing rules in a non-footballing court - that's all.

[Gibbo]

Not the time to start arguing amongst ourselves guys.

Was actually thinking the same he's been horrendous this season! Liability

[The_weatherman]

I wonder how the Uruguayan FA responds to this? Or FIFA for that matter.

[Shaggy]

I honestly don't feel that arsed about the ban. It's obviously a huge blow to us on the field but what bothers me most is those horrible *******s have had our best player's character stained like this. As well as the club's. I just want his name cleared.

DTguardian daniel taylor Early word from Liverpool is that they haven't decided yet whether or not to appeal. Might be more later #LFC #MUFC

You know full well that it's different and you know why, so stop being awkward.
