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.
Sorry, that wasn't the change in his evidence - he changed many other aspects.
"There were clearly a number of changes in Mr Suarez's account, both of the incident in the
goalmouth and the incident where Mr Suarez admitted to using the word “negro”
between his initial account as reported by Mr Dalglish and Mr Comolli, his interview on 2
November, his witness statement, and his case as presented at the hearing.
320. It is true to say that Mr Suarez had not seen all the video clips when he was interviewed,
and that it is not easy to piece together a detailed sequence of events which took place in a
brief period of time in a high-pressured match. On the other hand, a serious allegation had
been made against Mr Suarez. Mr Comolli took care after the match to find out what had
happened in view of the seriousness of the allegation. Mr Suarez had watched a recording
of the game with a view to preparing for his FA interview. It is a reasonable inference that
he had thought very carefully about what had happened at the key moments in the
penalty area, with the benefit of some recording to refresh his memory, in order to be able
to give a clear account in his interview and his witness statement."
So ultimately we're still at the same point - Suarez admits referring to Evra's skin colour while they're having an argument.
I think people underestimate Fergusons role in this. The first match he met Luis his defence was ripped apart. The same way he went on and on calling Torres (whom he also was shit scared) a diver hoping to hurt him he now had a chance to get Suarez out of the way. That people on here all of a sudden is queing up to support Patrice Evra and Alex Ferguson for all it is worth is quite amazing.
This is a perfect example of what I mentioned earlier. You have to be a bit off the wall to exonerate Suarez.
Or else you have to say it's okay to refer to someone's skin colour in an argument.
Pick your poison lads - are you racist or brain dead ?
