.I know the FA would like to spoil the party: I guess if Luis Suarez is getting six match ban, John Terry is most likely to get at least ten. Luis Suarez faces a minimum six game ban after being charged with racially abusing Patrice Evra. The FA have decided they have enough evidence following their month-long investigation to charge Liverpool's Uruguayan striker and they have far-reaching powers to punish him if he is found guilty. Although there is no precedent, the FA have the scope to hit Suarez with a hefty fine and a long suspension because of the seriousness of the offence. Liverpool immediately put out a statement in response to the charge, saying their man would be pleading not guilty. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/new...cist-abuse-of-Patrice-Evra-article831414.html
problem is there is precidence and that precidence is 3 matchs so... a certain someone who is again being charged got done for this before. It can be taken as read that ithe mirror are sensationalising it to sell papers.
The FA have now locked themselves firmly on the horns of a major dilema. By bringing this charge in the way that they have, they have set themselves up as the arbiter of both fact and intent. Also they published the charge after a major delay and the identification of another racially based incident. The 2 cases cannot be considered together but they have already been linked in the public conciousness. Finally the publication of the charge appears to have been done immediately after the Blatter statement. The possibility therefore exists for both Suarez and LFC to claim that any decision made in these circumstances may contain a large degree of politics rather than fact.
If he or Terry are found guilty, there registrations with the FA should be revoked, whats the slogan, lets kick racism out of football, well go on kick them out. it has no place in the game.
If Suarez is found guilty then the decision and any ensuing penalty will be the basis for an appeal. Now I don't know what facility for that lies within the rules of the FA. If no internal facility of appeal exists then it would have to go to an external body such as the Court of Abitration for Sport or within the English judicial system.
if found guilty, and liverpool do not sell him to an italian team where that kind of behaviour is acceptable then he will drag your club down with him, his career should rightfully be in tatters IF found guilty. same for any racist, its disgusting in this day and age.
If found guilty, I would want to see all the evidence presented publicly. If found innocent, I would want to see all the evidence presented publicly. I don't trust the FA to do a proper job.
I don't know who the **** you are or what team you support. You only signed up today and have only made comments regarding the Suarez charge. Your profile says you support Liverpool yet you refer to us as "Your club", not "Our club". So take your sanctimonious, moral indignation somewhere else.
I cant see this one being over any time soon.The FA could give Suarez/Evra a ban depending on the outcome of there findings , but which ever way it goes it looks like it will be appealed, if not at the FA then through the courts and like you say Court of Arbitration for Sport.And until that as all been cleared up I dont think anyone can really SERVE a ban, surely any ban has got to wait until the ENTIRE process has been gone through, cos if it isnt there could be grounds for clubs to sue the FA.For example if the FA gave Suarez a ban, Liverpool took the issue to court and won,and Liverpool justed missed out on the CL after Suarez being banned for say 2 months, the FA may have to stump up A LOT of cash to LFC I cant see any ban that may be given out,happenin until perhaps the end of the season,when the WHOLE process has been gone through, what do you think Dave
surely this whole thing will be subjective. Suarez will say he said negrito (non offensive in Uruguay) and the FA wil claim that in England any name involving negro etc is racist. Either way I find it hard to believe that the FA can prove beyond all probable doubt that Suarez said a racist remark
Red, well the fact is he isnt in uruaguy he is in england, england is where the alleged incident took place, he lives by the law of england now.
it's not an English word though. It's not like he said the n word and then claimed it's used all the time in Uruguay
Red It doesnt matter, he is in england if its deemed to breech english law / fa laws the people who govern him then its crime of said organisation, regardless of what culture he comes from or what langugae he said it in. thats like saying because i racially abuse someone in spanish in england im not guilty. Its ridiculous.
And so should you,the British legal system is based on the accused person being innocent until proven guilty. You have shown by your posts that you already you think hes guilty and your clearly anti Uruguayan or you'd have John Terry's name in your username as well as Suarez.
But he didnt abuse him u knob. What he said in Spanish has a different meaning in England which sounds similar to a racist term. Who are we to decide how we interperate a Spanish word that has NO MEANING in English? Heres the definition here http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=174859 "En el caso concreto de "el negrito", al utilizar un diminutivo usualmente cariñoso "-ito", está claro que no tiene ninguna connotacion negativa. Saludos. " Meaning suarez would have said something like chill out negrito, sure sarcasm, but not racism, as it's a term of enderement but used sarcasticly obvs when suarez said it to evra
Hasn't Suarez come out and said he called him the 'black Gazelle' ? ( or something like that ). I honestly think that if Suarez had kept his mouth shut he probably wouldn't have been charged.
ok so you find me anywhere on here where i have said he is guilty? i havent infact ive gone to great lengths on a few different threads to make sure i have stated he is innocent till proven guilty. what your talking is codswollap. go on make my day show me where i have said he is guilty? like you say innocent till proven guilty, you may want to think of that before making such accusations. or atleast back it up.
Whenever the hearing is held, the FA Tribunal has to reach a decision. When they do it could well be that either side reserves their right of appeal. If that happens then the judgement has to be made public but any sanction set aside until after the appeal.
