RE: Football Banter
Using culture clashes as an excuse is ridiculous, he's been living here long enough to know that that kind of language will get him in trouble here, pleading ignorance is silly.
To be honest groundnpound, since he is your player, you will defend him to death, and that's not a dig at you at all, but his excuse his stupid. The world knows that using such terms are unacceptable. Add to that, you have done far more research on the matter, so makes me think I need to do some of my own!
Even if he wanted to talk to him in a friendly manner, especially in a language Evra isn't going to understand, any word that sounds similar to negro, nigger etc will stand out to Evra, and of course he will report it. Suarez should have used common sense.
But as mitchell has said, it's not like he has killed anyone etc, so I'll draw a line under it

First off people are forgetting that Evra in his evidence admitted he started the confrontation by speaking in Spanish to Suarez. He admitted using the phrase "Concha de tu hermana" which translated into English means "yoiur sister's pussy". But Evra claimed in the Spanish he speaks he only meant "fuckin hell"....The Commission conveniently accepted this explanation as being a cultural difference.
The Commission basically accepted Evra's word over Suarez' word. In the report they conceded there was no evidence but that Evra's testimony was more reliable....the same Evra who falsely accused a Chelsea groundsman of a similar offence in 2008 and who a couple of years before that, made a similar allegation against Steve Finnan before retracting the allegation.
The inconsistancies and holes in the case are shocking and if it had gone to court it would have been thrown out within seconds.
Liverpool didnt appeal because they were basically warned not to as mitchell has already said. Suarez will come back from the ban but will always have that stain on his character and will have to deal with the fallout for a very long time.
Judge me by my size do you? Hmmm? Hmmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the force. And a powerful ally it is.
