I love to troll again

Would Evra have got an 8 game ban for calling suarez 'white', or 'whitey' several times?
By the looks of the timeline on that telegraph link, suarez said 'i don't speak to blacks' and said a few times 'blackie', and then once used the word 'negro'.
I'm curious as to if you get an 8 game ban for white and whitey. I'm not sure what the equivalent word for negro the other way round would be.

Ok, let's stop being coy with this shit. Why don't you post a list of who said it? I've no doubt that you have one at the ready, and you were happy to quote a seasoned poster out the blue just to try and make him look like a cunt, so why don't you take half the forum to task, if that's the case. Then you can bask in the glory and we'll all think you're brilliant.

Do you know what the word innocent means ?
 
I think it was a bit harsh personally.
I've had lots of people say racist terms to me in anger, but not in a racist way.
(a) "Fuck you N***" v (b) "Go back to your dog-eating slum, N****"

Both use racist pejoratives but I would not say that the first is racist. There is no attempt to denigrate ethnicity.
 
LOL. Mods (other than @Rosco) - can you please change the name of this thread to:

"I Love to do this again"!

And I'm raising this question again - why is a mod allowed to re-open a locked obsessively driven thread, while others (normal human beings) just have to accept it?

A mod has the power to moderate for the sake of the general public of posters, and for the interests of the forum.
When a mod is blatantly using his power for driving his own personal agenda (including pointing at posters) I don't think he can be a mod.
 
You know what people are getting at Ross, we're not in a court of law now. As we all know, the "law", your bible, is a farcical joke anyway, most governing bodies are agenda ridden, corrupt, self serving charades.

This is getting almost autistic, all logic and a real detachment from ones feelings. You're asking people to put perspectives aside and to view it from a draconian, flawed hand book. You want everyone reading from the same page and thats never going to happen if people feel the procedure has been unjust.

I would say the use of those words in an abusive way is a suggestion that, on some level, they consider the colour of your skin makes you inferior. Of course, you could argue that they were using racist language to wind you up, but if people are happy to use language in that way, then they shouldn't be surprised when they get branded as racists.

You do know you don't have to come into the thread, read it, and reply to it don't you? 😉

I do know that, and I stopped replying to him after the first couple of posts.

I'm just raising an issue which is basic to the forum. To any forum.
 
Have to say it again, if it wasn't Ross, there would be actual answers in this thread rather than kicking off about Ross starting the thread.

People are seemingly eager to say Ross is on the troll, as it's easier to say that than try to explain WHY he's "innocent", or rather why the poster doesn't agree with the outcome from the action.

He called someone a Negro in a country where it's generally frowned upon. Persistently, to try and get a rise out of an opponent.

That's generally not quite good.

Instead of going on about Ross and his precious law (not like he wrote the fucking thing), ANSWER.

Take the FA out if it. Take football out of it. If 2 people were having an argument and one decided to start saying Negro at the other. Is that an innocent act?
 
If the people who claim he's innocent give an honest answer to the question posed by Fabio I will resign as mod.

I think that's fair isn't it Jimmy ?

I'm dying to know what's beneath the surface of these beliefs of innocence

Are you being serious or is this a wooosh?
 
Here's the thing. Suarez admitted using the word "negro" once, as in " Por que, negro", and gave his explanation as to how he meant it. ( He was found guilty of using it seven times, based on the evidence of Evra.)

Having said that, his admission was the rope that hung him because of the following ( part of ) summary:


"Whether a player has used abusive or insulting words or behaviour is a matter for us to decide as a Regulatory Commission, having regard to all the circumstances of the case. These circumstances include the fact that many players playing in England come from overseas, with a different language and culture. However, we apply the standards that we consider appropriate to games played in England under the FA Rules. Whether the words or behaviour are abusive or insulting is an objective matter; it does not depend on whether the alleged offender intended his words to be abusive or insulting."

In other words they decided that the the word(s) used were abusive and insulting, whether or not Suarez meant them to be.
