Evra accuses Suarez of racist remarks | Suarez guilty of racial abuse

Liverpool also fined £20k for their behavior in the Fulham game.

Not sure if its related to the T-shirt incident though.
 
The new thread starts off brilliantly:

So it seems a man is only innocent until stitched up by an institution and media dripping with posturing, pious, self-righteous indignation.

Thank goodness there are so many Reds who are strident in their support for Luis Suarez and the club’s support of their player – based not simply on loyalty but rather on the application of a rationale that rightly sees the injustice in what has taken place.

He was framed! By his own testimony, now that's a conspiracy!

"Application of rationale". :wenger::lol:
 
It's bonkers. They're now obsessed with using words like rationale and objectivity, despite going on to do nothing of the sort in the very posts they're calling for it in...As if merely name checking the words is tantamount to actually applying them.
 
'Rationale,' 'objectivity'...Christ, the Free Online Dictionary site must be getting some traffic recently...
 
RAWK seem to think that 'cultural difference' argument applies to Suarez only.

It can easily apply to Evra too. In France negrito is racist.
 
You shouldn't be banned for sticking your middle finger up at a set of fans who've been abusing you for 90 minutes.

A fine would suffice in my opinion. While it's not going to hit a player hard, a gesture of that sort isn't going to offend many if anyone in the crowd either. Save bans for where it's deserved.

Having said that, Suarez is a horrible little shit so I have very little sympathy for him.

Personally, I don't give a feck after seeing one of our own banned for swearing ffs.
 
It's a bit unfair, but they *are* handsomely compensated for their discretion. All they have to do is refrain from attacking, swearing and making obscene gestures at supporters, you can still swear at the ref and the other players all you want.

That, and refrain from making reference to a player's race or color or disability, et cetera.

After him being found guilty as a racist and the whole world watching his behaviour from now on, he should have known better and not have risen to being provoked.
He would have known that anything he did would have involved another investigation. If he didn't then he's more dummer than I thought.
To be honest he's lucky just to get a 1 match ban for it in my opinion.

Wouldnt be surprised if his other ban counted against him. People make their case by citing the fact they havent had FA disciplinery charges before thinking they might get a lesser punishment. When you're already in the dock its going to count against you
