Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[red g]

The FA though have created a **** storm for themselves here - obviously as a liverpool fan - you will back the club/the players - but lets get one thing straight LFC as a club are no ****ing mugs....Guarenteed if Suarez had done something wrong, the club would have been the first to punish him for it - i've never known any club in any league in the world to come out with such a strong backing of one of their players and such a ****ing "**** you" back to the national FA - so that says to me that Liverpool Football Club must really ****ing believe that this injustice....and if they believe it, then I believe it and I think they will be prepared to take this all the ****ing way.

And i think we will ****ing wipe the floor with the FA and the Media - it' is similar in a sense to the **** that went on at the High court with hicks and gillette - the story is our lawyers had studied and prepared counter arguments for every possible outcome that Hicks and Gillette could come up with - and i reckon this is the case here. - The club would have decided weeks ago about steps to take and course to put in action on every possible outcome of verdict, with this obviously being worst case scenario.......

LFC know what they are doing!!

THE FA don't have a ****ing clue.

When is Luis going to make a complaint about Evra's slurs against him in the same game cos thats the only way to guarantee that the FA will have to do something about it cos they sure as hell won't do it off there own backs.

They wont have a jury for this haha! imagine! a jury to deliver a verdict of when someone called someone a black *******.... i hope thats not the world we are heading towards...

Is this a summary offence where the defendant has no right to request a jury trial?

Answer here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...d-captain.html

"The CPS has advised that Terry has been charged with a summary offence which can be dealt with in a magistrates court and will not require a jury trial."

The Liverpool players have this evening issued the following joint statement in support of Luis Suarez.

Luis Suarez is our teammate and our friend and as a group of players we are shocked and angered that he has been found guilty by the FA.

We totally support Luis and we want the world to know that. We know he is not racist.

We are a squad of many different nationalities and backgrounds. All of us support the Club's commitment to fighting racism. All of us accept there is no place in the game for any form of discrimination. As a group of players we totally support the Kick it Out Campaign.

We have lived, trained and played with Luis for almost 12 months and we don't recognise the way he has been portrayed. We will continue to support Luis through this difficult period, and as a popular and respected friend of all his teammates, he will not walk alone.

Could have waited until after the game for that statement.

[RichC]

I think putting it before is a good idea, get the crowd fired up and really behind Luis and the team tonight.

[Draxdor]

Could have waited until after the game for that statement.

Why, exactly?

[ChesterDave]

They would be asked how they were in a position to hear it when no one on the pitch was able to.

They could claim they lip read it. Would have to hear it.

[Reece]

That's another great statement. Love the togetherness over this.

[destinydude]

Why, exactly?

No rational reason. Just a feeling that's all.

The match is irrelevant in this scenario though, we are defending a man who's been falsely "convicted" of being a racist.
