Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[wavydavy]

Would be a ****ing good laugh if Luis used his millions to drag this to court and get apologies/retractions from individuals and newspapers concerned.

I would have liked to have seen a more clear rebuttal of how man times Suarez used the word Negro. He claims he only said it once but Evra said 10 times and Fergie said 5 and the panel said 7.

The media are clearly against us on the basis that he used the word multiple times.

There is still possibility that Luis can take matter now in his hands and sue Evra for the defamation of character.

If he did this and then won the case - where would that leave the FA and their cuntish 'panel'?

Whatever we did, the FA werent going to budge, they were always going to say "He's guilty and that's that" so i fail to see what we could have done to change that.

No way they were changing this. I'm happy the way the club acted, support our man, let the unhappiness be noted in a serious way and move on. Its a complete outrage all the same.

[wavydavy]

What, on the grounds that that's what the FA have found him guilty of?

I don't think they(the FA) called it racial abuse, did they. They dressed it up as words relating to a person's colour liable to cause offence or some such ****.

I can`t really see how he can do that. He has admitted to use the word. Suarez didn`t mean it to be racist but Evra felt it was. Can you really take how another person interprets you to court?

It would be tell the world what and embarassing governing body FA is and what type of injustice was done to him.

I hope he goes for it and tear them all in pieces.

Talksport have just admitted Durham has ****ed up.

We've all read the findings and there have been more than enough legal people telling the rest of us where we could have appealed to blow apart the claim about Evra's credability as a witness.
Without the credability his word doesn't mean anymore than Luis' so the ban should have been reduced as the 8 games is based on believing Evra.
I'm not suggesting it would have been overturned of course not, I personally believe he should have received a smaller ban as the word is unacceptable but 8 games is atrocious.

Pathetically weak from the football club. It's ****ing easy for everyone to come on here oh yeah it's great, we showed the FA, yeah we really stuck it to them with the statement didn't we.

No-one will print the staement, no-one else except for lfc fans will read it and we have allowed Luis Suarez to be labelled a racist by the FA.

****ing ****, talking the talk is easy we've backed down, it's a disgrace.

Thank God it is over.

Lock the thread.

forever.

Absolutely fantastic statement from the club which I hope is reported accurately.

Poor Luis, you have to feel for him. I am sure he wick return a stronger person, and an even more determined player,

Do you actually read any of my posts? All of this is covered in my longer post, about 15 mins ago. Post number 4996.

If I read all of your posts, I would have to give up full time employment

Liverpool FC have just made them selves look ****ing stupid and spineless. So Suarez is a racist then If Liverpool feel that they should sack him then.

You're not getting it though - the FA are the highest UK authority in footballing matters, no amount of legal stuff would make any difference because it's a football matter. We cannot take the FA to court over it, all we can do is argue it within the footballing environment and in the footballing environment, our enemy is the same as the body which decides who's guilty and who isnt. They arent ever going to rule against themselves.

[Lecter]

Excellent statement though in my opinion.

It was the best that they could do imo

It really does put the pressure on the FA to act over erry though

Not that they will mind
