[Rabiosa]

Comparing *ALLEDGED* Racism to assaulting a supporter and matchfixing? what a prick..

Seems they have the usual suspects in place to publically tow the party line, people with aspirations to work in the fa.

Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle thinks the decision is "100% correct".

He told 5 live: "There are definitely cultural differences for a lot of players coming from South America and from the continent into England.

"But even though those differences do exist, we still expect people who come and work here to adhere to the standards and the laws of this land.

"It's wholly acceptable in parts of the Middle East to chop off the hands of thieves but we wouldn't tolerate it here and it's just the same when it comes to racism."

Did 5Live ask him what he thought of the John Terry case? Thought not...

Well, if there is criminal case pending, they legally can't.

I'm disgusted. Gonna have some sleep and hope this is just a nightmare.

What the ****?!

Why the hell shouldn't Suarez now make a complaint arising from what Evra said to him, insinuating being touched by a South American was dirty.

Did they ask Mr Carlisle what he thought of drink drivers?

Unbelievable also how the (impartial ) BBC decided to use Suarez' hand ball in their article about the verdict, somehow, possibly, implying that...'not only is he a racist, but look at the ****ing cheat as well!!!1111'

Chairman of anti-racism group Kick It Out Herman Ouseley said: "The FA has shown leadership and intent through what has clearly been a difficult and complex complaint to deal with, and invested time and expertise to ensure this outcome.

"It has demonstrated that it will not stand for discrimination, something organizations such as Fifa and Uefa should take heed of."

But he added: "This charge is not saying Luis Suarez is a racist. It's saying, on this occasion, he used racist language.

"It doesn't make him a bad guy - he needs to learn what is acceptable."

The punishment (8 game ban) is harsh but he needed to be punished – for the greater good of the game.

Anyone know what Stevie said earlier? It seems he has commented on this, think I saw someone mention something about him on Twitter. Might have been related to something else though.
