Madness, was there any real evidence? Like video-proof etc ? Or just one sides word vs another sides word?
Was always going to be the result It was obviously such a clear cut case its taken them months to prove...disaster for him that is, he'll never get any decent press from now on. I hope we mount the strongest appeal possible to this farce.
Let's hope that **** John Terry gets stronger punishment then. Sure there's a stronger case against him. That said, if there was enough evidence against Suarez, then this is just punishment.
Doesn't matter which club it is, or whether there was any hard evidence. This was a PR opportunity that was too good for the FA to turn down. They'll do the same thing with Terry, because the puppet masters behind the scenes want a certain outcome. Suarez's appeal should be that he's Latin and not white. Present himself as a minority.
8 games eh. Quite surprised but can see it being reduced on appeal....... then increased when his next case is heard lol.
No because conspiracy theories don't apply here do they. It's not as if a United player (just for the sake of argument let's call him Peter Schmeichel) has ever been accused of racism by a fellow proffesional (just for the sake of argument let's call him Ian Wright) is it. Wonder how that case finished up eh???
How on earth is there a stronger case? They've both been as racist as each other and both given plausible excuses, both should get the same punishment.
I didn't know there was video evidence of Suarez's racism? Is there? Nor have I heard JT's 'excuses'.
I think the only difference is there is clear video footage of Terry saying what he did and multiple witnesses.
