The Suarez/Evra Racism Row

Not appealing the ban doesnt mean he cant do them for defamation does it?
[/quote]

He has absolutely no case against the FA for defamation.

He has the possibility of action against the Mirror, but they'd also have a easily made out defence. It'd be a toss up at best.
[/quote]

If someone inferred that I was a racist because I called someone black I'd be fucking infuriated if I couldn't take action against them simply cos they made an opening statement that I wasn't racist before making repeated comments stating that I acting in a prejudicial manner because someone was black.

The law is an ass!

So... if we don't tie Oldham, his first game back is against United... Wowzers.

Well those of us who support and believe Suarez are apparently thick racists. Remember that when you cheer on your club next as the whole club, bar some fans, still supports and believe Suarez which is clear as day from the statement released. According to logic, you support a racist club
[/quote]

The point you're missing is Luis was guilty of that charge even if his evidence was accepted.

if you think he is innocent of the charge then yes you are supporting racism.
[/quote]

I'm not missing any point Ross nor do I support racism. I do not agree with you in the slightest. And are you thus saying I'm a racist ?
[/quote]

So you accept his admission and his version of events still make him guilty of the charge. But you think he's innocent.

I'm not sure how I can argue with that.

If you are arguing that Luis and anyone else should be allowed to call black footballers negro then yes you are supporting the use of racist abuse. That doesn't make you a racist in my eyes but it might in some peoples.
[/quote]

Context Ross, context and intent. No-one should be allowed to use racist terms, of course not. The cultural context, especially given the conversation took place in Spanish, has been completely disregarded and overlooked and its more of an education issue than anything else. I think he's now been educated alright the hard way. I do find the complete disregard for the cultural sensitivity aspect of this as narrow minded as racism itself though. So stop insinuating I support racism in any shape or form. We have a difference in opinion so be it but any more of that shite and we're going to have a falling out.

See you in 10 days time. I'll bring the gloves. x

The context is he said it on a football pitch in England, as the independent panel stated themselves had they accepted he used it in a friendly manner that wouldn't have been offensive where he came from he was still guilty but the punishment would have been lessened. That for me is the correct approach because otherwise you create a a racists charter.

I know you're not a racist, and you know that too.

Andy - you've twice in the past few pages insinuated that everyone who didn't follow your point of view is a racist. Please stop - it's not funny.
[/quote]Wizzy for the past three months I have been called a sheep, a shit fan, someone who should 'support the club' someone who doesnt understand what 'you'll never walk alone means' etc etc etc by a bunch of whiney pussyoles who think we should fight all the way to the fucking high court in Zurich or the US senate or some bizarre shit to defend a now CONVICTED racist. When ALL I have done is said IF he was found guilty I would think less of him. But of course the long fingers of Fergie and his friends and the FA and all the Press and the Government and the masons are all against us and poor little hard done Luis and im a shit fan yadda yadda.
But hes been charged and found guilty and suspended and we have accepted that. Despite of course it being a 'kangaroo court' and there being 'a million holes in it' and it being 'EASY to pick to pieces'. We have accepted it. The club now accept the charge. They can say what the fuck they like in their statements (like they did in some of the false ones they made earlier) but ultimately they have run off tail between their legs and said ok hes guilty.
So with all that in mind
Suck my dick.
IMHO of course.
[/quote]

I'm really really disappointed in you as a person - in fact, I personally find your response pathetic b/c I was asking you as a friend. Cheers.
[/quote]You probably should have PM'd me in that case.
[/quote]

People can take the piss about 'you're being a shit fan' or whatever, fight them back the same way ('cabbage' for example). But calling 'us' (whoever falls under your definition) racists? Is that really the same thing? You really think it's funny calling someone like me part of the 'Aryan brotherhood'? or Sunny? etc ... Sorry, I don't see how those are equal.
[/quote]Yes I do think its a bit funny. And I do see them as equal.
I have however apologised to you above and I do not wish to get into more words of hate with you whom I love.

It would be fucking funny if we agreed a transfer with Madrid tonight and as he got on the plane at JLA he just turned round and give the finger.

Oh and Higuain and Ozil got off the plane coming the other way of course.

He basically said that the club had put out a good statement on the matter, and that Luis had put out a brilliant statement of his own. Then he said he couldn't say much more than that without getting into trouble, ending off with "though there's plenty I'd like to say".

Two things..."My bad".....Fuck you Bay

I'm so ashamed of this club today. I'm kind of glad they got their ass whooped today too. To actually send out a message against racism? Are you serious? LFC can go fuck off to its fairytale world with the FA, where it does fuck all apart from send out a "message". Did stephen lawrence give a fuck about your "message" as he lay bleeding to death on the floor? Don't fucking partonize dantes. You have no fucking interest at all to combat racism. That statement is a fucking ridiculous joke. I don't believe one fucking syllable of it. I never thought I'd have to sit here and be lied to by liverpool football club. Racism? It obviously don't even know the meaning of the word. All they cared about today was being seen to be sending out a message against it.

Liverpool football club? Luis Suarez? Go fuck yourselves. You're both cowards and have nothing left to say to me. Not today. Not for the rest of this season.

You want to know how to fight racism? People with a backbone that stood up against injustice. That had a fucking pair. Pathetic cowards like everyone behind today's statement, and luis suarez. Just fuck off. They have no right to talk about racism. They're an insult to those people that stand up and fight. The way I view the club right now, is the way you just viewed their performance against city.
 
Great statements from Luis and the club.

This thread has made me feel sad for a long while now. Hopefully it will be locked and some of the things said will be forgotten.
