    I'm still not convinced by that - the fact Evra said something in Spanish doesn't imply a whole conversation. I can call someone a ****ing **** in Russian, but I wouldn't call that a full conversation, nor would I understand all their cultural niceties.

    sky this is all fine, i am of the opinion 4 matches was ok as i thought something was said but in the end you forgot one thing... you speak english mate so you doing saying the word you say = english word... if you were speaking Spanish though... COME ON! english is not spanish and spanish is not english.

    do you think evra naturally speaks spanish or did he spend half the game trying other insults in english before settling on spanish to goad the guy?

    as per if its a word is common use eg hernandez interview prior to coming to england then i'm afraid taboo is ott.

    I think theres a big big difference between speaking in spanish and including one word and the phrases the fa believe evra heard.

    i find that simple.. if a guy can't even say black oh not balck b like terry but the black guy then the whole world is gone mad... berbs is right, the FA have decided it is repeated use (though i can't see where 7 times comes from still) and also context of suarez's actions when comapred to what he said he was doing that is the issue at hand.

    lets not beat up every spainish speaker like de gea or hernandez etc if their lagnuage used the word for the colour!

    Dude, you're takin it too seriously, I expected you to read and probably completely ignore the post, its boring the digital posturing n'all. fk it.


    Besides there is enough people taking posts too seriously already.

    Sorry been out since my last post -

    I completely stand by my OP - but perhaps a couple of my comments after that were a bit slap dash. I'm in Devon and been drinking Cheddar cider most of the day FFS!

    But my original post is exactly how I feel about it <ok>

    This had me thinking....Is this possibly part of the reason we are being linked to Bent, other than being English and having a good scoring record?

    I wouldn't be surprised if every top footballer who's played in Europe is familiar with all the common international insults - the Spanish one Evra's supposed to have used is apparently pretty common. Football and swearing are the global languages after all ;)

    That and your exceptional record of achieving high levels of value when buying English players <ok>

    Notice to all members of online forums, football players and members of the FA.

    Can we all please stick to calling Evra a dickhead in the future. It will make things a lot easier.

    This **** doesn't even understand what a forum is <doh>

    It's about personal opinions FFS - we're hardly experts, just views of football fans. If you don't agree with me or dont like my views ****ing put me on ignore. It would work well both ways as I wouldn't have to listen to your constant crying about what i say.

    I've said it before I'll say my views and wont just go with the majority for the sake of it- if people don't like it I couldn't give a **** <ok>

    It's not "program". It's 'programme'. Unless you're a yank as well <doh>

    Howdo mate. "We're in England so you have to respect English ways"

    I honestly wish a few more of them did. I know so many who don't. When I'm abroad, I try my hardest to conform to the host country's standards.

    Anyway, I know where you're at with this SKY (+?), but it really has been done to death now. I'd sooner talk about football <yikes> Speak over the weekend. Let's see if Swarbs actually turns up to claim his pint on Sunday <ok>

    The + after SKY's name only shows up if you two are linked as 'friends' on this forum. This is why you can see the + after his name.

    O look, I got to the end of page 3 and the summary is that people are defending something that is unacceptable.

    What a surprise.

    Good OP though <ok>

    And you're a complete and utter ****. Ban the prick if he is just going to go around calling people ******ed because he doesn't agree with their opinion.

    Also the irony is that last word is laughable.

    He's been linked as a friend for yonks on here and it's only just started on this thread. Explain that.
