It is at this point in his witness statement, having referred to these incidents, that Mr Suárez said: "It seems to me that PE misunderstood my use of the word negro. As I have said, it was meant in a conciliatory and friendly way in the context in which I have used the word throughout my life and as set out earlier in this Statement."
Don't be a fucking idiot.
So can I ask again - in the context of the argument that Evra and Suarez were having , isn't referencing skin colour a little bit problematic ?
Isn't admitting to using it also problematic ?
And then when you change your evidence at the hearing to say you never said the word negro , when Damien Commolli and Dirk Kutt have corroborated the fact that you used the word negro, well that's a little bit problematic too.
None of the Suarez's supporters will ever acknowledge any aspect of this because they haven't for about seven years at this stage.
It's really a very simple issue. Can you refer to someone's skin colour in an argument ?
Nobody can say yes to that , so instead they'll attempt to claim it never happened, that the only evidence is from Evra who lied previously and that there was something untoward about the process. All of which is untrue.
Had any of it been true Suarez could have easily won a judicial review of the decision. He never sought to do so.
Case closed.
I for one will never acknowledge that Suarez changed his evidence at the hearing to claim he never said the word negro, because it didn't happen.
