Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[sean_lfc]

A slap on the wrist.

I bet the FA wriggle out of a lengthy ban due to the fact it became a police investigation

Police find him guilty, fine him and the FA can say the police took care of it

Exactly my thinking.

seriously. they took evra's word on the charge, but didn't believe him when he said suarez isn't even a racist.

i guess non-racists can still say something dumb. whatever. pleased with our response.

[little dave hedgehog]

perhaps it would have gone differently if suarez hadn't admitted to making a comment in the press.

Even though I hate Man United if it was the other way round then I would hope that the outcome would be correct. I'd hate to see anybody branded as a racist without any evidence. The FA have made an incredible decision, I can't wait to see how they justify it. Luis Suarez is not a racist, even the horrible little **** who stirred all this **** up admitted that Suarez is not a racist. The FA are wrong, we need to review how our national game is governed. The FA are clearly incompetent. They decided that Luis was guilty before any evidence was even heard, they'd better be able to back up their decision with facts. It's way beyond football now - an innocent man is being accused of being a racist. Those useless cunts at the FA had an opportunity to make some sense of this ridiculous accusation and they've completely ****ed up. I care more about the reputation of an innocent man than this game.

I am sure it would be but now for speaking the truth he's been used as a scape goat and poster boy for all racial abuse that happened in PL over last 100 years and will be part of his sports identity going forward no matter what.

Well done FA you ****in' cunts and Evra you little bitch.

Boring observation: In FA Rules, misconduct is breach of "Rules and regs of (The FA) and in particular Rules E3 to 28". Only goes up to 26.

It looks like the FA stance is that Suarez has admitted to using a word which they have deemed to be racially abusive.

Edit - just noticed your follow up post

I think Suarez thought he was doing the right thing by saying that he said something though, that's what makes me feel worse about it, I think he was only just trying to justify what he said to Evra, not knowing the racist connotations that people may have of it. He was only trying to do what in his head was the decent thing. And now because of that decision he is being branded a racist. I've seen the term cheat being thrown around at him a lot now as well. It's terrible.

Where does this go from here, I am Irish so the next time someone call me a Paddy or tells one of those stupid Irish jokes can i now take a case against them ???

The FA have been for many years a bunch of upper class arseholes and we the fans should no longe accept them running the peoples game.

Spoke to my mates who support other clubs and encourage them to help lead the booing against Evra at every game the little **** .... am i allow to call him a **** or will the league of ****s sue me ??

They'd have spun it another way. No point in blaming Suarez here. His conscience is clear and should be clear. It's a completely corrupt, political farce, and I'm glad that Moyes and others also spoke out about the kangaroo 'panel'. It's quite a shambles, but the world'll keep spinning. I hope for Luis' and most of all his family's sake he can either put it all behind him or have it put behind him, or that he just leaves to find some peace. There are definitely more important things than a game of football, which - and you best believe it - will from now on become a living nightmare for him, regardless of whether the verdict gets rescinded, even if we went to the highest instance. Every away game - he will be sounded out - just look at Fulham. And then you have to wonder 'What's the point?' A bit of banter is fine, even pure anger and hatred is fine, but being falsely accused of being a racist every week (and we all know how intelligently versed a big amount of supporters can be)... I'd sack it off. What's the point. The game's supposed to be mainly a game, doing what you love doing, playing for fans who love the game...

He did the right thing. Being honest, especially in light of difficult circumstances and in all walks of life, takes a man to do, takes a good human to do, and that will always stand him in good stead. Suarez has done nothing wrong.

Here's hoping Kenny says in his next PC, I don't want to discuss anything about the wee little black man.

[SERVO2]

I think Kenny is going to make mincemeat out of alot of journo's!!! And I for one am looking forward to it!!

****ing good - this is a disgrace.

We need our voices to be heard, I registered with the FA's website and sent the following message...

================================================== ============
I'm astonished and dismayed. I care far more about an innocent man's reputation than I do this corrupt game. Why is it okay for a man to be brandished a racist without any clear evidence? Is this to become a feature of our national sport from now on? Can players get opponents banned for 8 matches without any genuine basis? This was an opportunity for the FA to acknowledge cultural differences, not vilify an innocent man for no good reason. The FA have messed up here and I hope that Liverpool Football Club fight against the FA for the good of all the other teams in the country. You have a responsibility to do what is right. I think you have basically accused the whole of the Latin world of racism today, I hope that there is a massive backlash. I feel numb, if this is how we do things in England then I am ashamed to be English. Are we really so up ourselves that we can't at least acknowledge cultural differences? Are you aware of the linguistic and cultural differences between ourselves and most of the rest of the world? This has set the kick racism out of football campaign back decades.
================================================== ============

We need to make our feelings heard, my message could have been better I'm sure, but I'm extremely annoyed and I feel that there has been a massive injustice here. Luis is a scapegoat and he needs to be aware of our support.

I am a ******.
