The problem now is that every cunt is going to abuse this ruling, you'll get players pulling the racist card left right and centre [/quote]

Except ours, of course.
[/quote]

Point? I don't know where you're coming from with your posts in this thread Gene.
[/quote]

Are you also worried that our players will start falsely accusing other people of racism, or is it just people from other clubs? If it's the former that makes sense, if it's the latter, then it doesn't and I shall pursue you on the issue.

Now pick up that sword!
[/quote]

So it's ok for me to assume that EVERYONE will do it, but not ok to just assume that players of other clubs will do it? If the constant cheating and abuse of the rules from United is anything to go by, then I've got every reason to suspect the latter. Soz, if that's just me being paranoid though and creating conspiracy theories.

I'd like to think we've got a bit more about us in that respect. Who'd do it? Johnson? Suarez? Charlie Adam?! At the high end of the game there's a few cunts I could see doing it, one of them has seemingly just done it, again. If it's such a high profile offence, like anything in the game with a severe punishment, another player is bound to jump on it at some point.

So you've gone from "every cunt" and "left, right and centre" to "another player is bound to jump on it at some point".
 
Anita did you suffer a bang to the head over the summer?!

I swear your posts used to make sense... 🙂
 
Hey Dave - I thought you stayed out of the Football forum man? How can we keep you in here?

This thread has made me want to turn off football.

LFC considers racism in any form to be unacceptable - without compromise. It is our strong held belief, having gone over the facts of the case, that Luis Suarez did not commit any racist act.

See this is the confusing part ...are they saying they believe he didn't say anything at all which could be considered a racist insult or that potential he said something like 'negrito' but didn't mean it in a racist way . We really need more info to come out .

It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.

See this goes back to what i said earlier , surely he wasn't being charged with being a full blown racist , rather if in one situation he used a racist insult . But i guess it's about building character reference .
[/quote]

It seems to me he probably said something (Negrito or what have you) that the club is convinced was used in a 'non-racial' context.

The FA statement says he made a remark about Evra's color, which racist intent or otherwise, Negrito does. It's a fine line, but they've chosen to make it about 'color' rather than race. They are different if you want to be picky.
 
Evra had reportedly pushed away Suárez's hand when the Uruguayan attempted to pat him on the head and used words to the Liverpool player along the lines of: "Don't touch me, you South American". Liverpool have asked the FA to issue the same charges that have now led to Suárez's reputation being tarnished .

The FA's five-day hearing had ruled that Suárez used "insulting words" that "included a reference to Mr Evra's colour". The full written reasons will be provided to Liverpool in the next few days and they will have 14 days to appeal. However, if they were to lose an appeal Suárez could potentially face an even longer ban. In the meantime Suárez is set to play in the league fixture at Wigan Athletic on Wednesday.

"It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'.

"The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.

"We would also like to know when the FA intend to charge Patrice Evra with making abusive remarks to an opponent after he admitted himself in his evidence to insulting Luis Suarez in Spanish in the most objectionable of terms.

"Luis, to his credit, actually told the FA he had not heard the insult."



The FA say he is not Racist, Evra says he is not racist, why are some of you saying he IS racist?

Actually the only person that admitted making an abusive remark was Evra, but the FA have let it slip under the net ......

Ultimately it boils down to this.
They had an argument.
Evra said he was racially abused.
Suarez admitted using a term he shouldnt have but thought it was ok.
It wasnt ok because the FA doesn't care about the use of language in other cultures.
He got banned.
Thats about it.

I think ebjt is fucked to be honest. I mean proper fucked.

I agree with you but made a small amendment.

They've left themselves no choice with EBJT.

JTs fate is probably in the hands of the police.

Ah bollocks, he'll be fine. There has to be circumstantial evidence in a real court.

Not that part. It seems as if Suarez admitted to using a word, and claimed he thought it wasnt a bad word. FA thinks it was a bad word. So saying that "the only person that admitted making an abusive remark was Evra" is at best inaccurate. Probably.
