Racially abused is a bit of an exaggeration isn't it? Surely now their must be an investigation in to Andre Marriner as he was claimed allegedly to only booking Evra because he "was black".. We'll appeal but i can't seeing it being lowered to anything under a six-match ban if the appeal was succesful
We should definitely appeal and get the ban reduced. Just point out that they did it for Rooney when they shouldn't have.
So have lots of different races and cultures. The Welsh were under English rule for ages and the English tried to stamp the Welsh language out of existence, I don't see any bans being advocated for English fans who chant things at Welsh footballers and teams like Bale, Bellamy, Cardiff, Swansea etc
I think us not appealing to Spearing's red card just opened a massive ****ing grin on the FA's face. If we aren't willing to appeal a decision that was clearly wrong because of the threat of an extra game added onto his ban, why would we appeal the racism charge.
Rooney got away with it because the ref said he saw it and took appropriate action, didn't he? I'm not saying it's right but it's in the referee's rules not to punish retrospectively if the ref says he saw it. Hardly relevent, though and you're certainly not going to find me defending the FA in that, or many other cases. Evra claimed he used the term more 10 times, I'm assuming that in order to have received such a hard punishment, there would have to be evidence he used the term more than once.
But this is a completely different situation to under age marriage. This is more similar to get told off for under paying a bill slightly because youv moved to a new country and dont quite understand the new countries money yet. By the way you have just admitted you do not think Suarez is racist.
True. I hope we actually see the evidence otherwise this will rumble on and on and on. They're opening a huge ridge with our fans/club over this. All of a sudden 8 games. It's just out of context of anything.
Suarez the racist, and its proven..you lot go mad and defend him. Should of been a lot more games then just 8. Better then nothing from the FA I guess.
But it was also clear violence, and we have all seen it. Whether the ref saw it or not can not making it any more right or wrong.
You have a word with them to tell them that here that is wrong and not acceptable and if they do it again they will be punished.
if the 8 game ban starts in 14 days from now if no appeal made then his 1st game back will be vs man utd!
If the appeal backfires liverpool as a club will lose a **** load of respect in the entire world of football.
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'. Interesting, very interesting. So no one agrees with you, it seems.
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/liverpool-fc-statement-8 Well that's a pretty strong statement from the club!
Personally think Suarez should sue Evra and the F.A for slander and defamation of character. B*stards!
