Hope you don't choke on your popcorn pal!
Found guilty by an FA panal of using a word or words relating to a players colour, nationality or religion is not a crime Shteve, its breaking an FA rule. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/convict
Legal and non-legal use http://www.thefreedictionary.com/convicted 1. Law To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court: 2. To show or declare to be blameworthy; condemn: 3. To make aware of one's sinfulness or guilt. Note the bit in bold doesn't say "exclusively" and that the second and third definitions don't mention a court of law which is why the (anti-Liverpool) media used the word when reporting the case. But keep posting the smilies, they're really ramming home your "point".
The Oxford dictionary is THE dictionary Shteve, give it up lad. Going by your logic Rio is a "convicted" cokehead.
He is 'known' to Social services throughout the whole of the North West of England as a physical abuser of women. FACKT.
Don't think Rio was ever on a charge of being a cokehead was he? Do you get your info from the same place as Donga Darko (RAWK maybe?). But feel free to produce a newspaper article confirming that Rio is a convicted cokehead. Where's that clip of the guy eating popcorn?
You could make a fortune by taking that story to the papers. Or you could start a website and build up a following. Do it pal, I believe in you!
Rio was found by an FA panel to have deliberately missing a drug test that would have proved he was clean of having illegal/performance enhancing drugs in his system. He got a nine month ban as I seem to remember.
see there is a problem here in that this is all misrepresentative. I suggest politely you all stop libelling peopel to play one upmanship. suarez... and indeed mr whelan at wigan were punished for making statements. mario balotelli was suspended for posting a picture. in all 3 cases the ahutorites convicted nobody and were at pains to say not were "racists" I suggest shetve you in particular should stop labeling people racist And donga i suggest you stop saying giggs beats women... this is all very low borw lads if you want a pissing contest find something more... well witty to come up with
So was he accused and found guilty of being a cokehead or was he accused and found guilty of missing a drugs test? You seem very keen on getting definitions right.
I never said he got "convicted", there lies the bones of it. Anyway mito has given you a polite warning Shteve so let's put it to bed lad.
Not at all. Nothing surprises me about what some footballers get up to. Too much money, too much adulation. I just find the outrage at the treatment of Suarez hilarious when the same people are happy to speculate about what other players have supposedly done in their private lives but can't provide any basis for their accusations. There's basically the Liverpool FC view of the world and the real view of the world.
The lad that kept Fergie in a job at OT. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30709994 I remember the "Fergie Out" chants and the big anti Fergie banner in the Stretford end when they were on the telly back then, some younger yoonited fans dispute these events actually happened. Yoonited airbrushed out Fergie's early years at OT to suit the myth.
