Slightly disappointed that we didn't get reference to a Mr Chicharito.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Well said.
On a sidenote, I imagine there are a few unhappy football hacks out there. Saturday night ruined now with editors demanding a report to file for tomorrow's papers. Imagine having to break all that down now
Yes. Poor journos will actually have to read the whole thing and do their research rather than making up stories like they normally do.
Listening to SNN. What was that statement about then? who the feck is running that club? Liverpool aren't looking good at all, I hope they're punished for their subsequent actions.
I hope they used it to full effect and spent a good 2-3 seconds playing out their names, "We will now hear statements from Miiistaaaaa Evra and Miiistaaaaa Suarez", over and over and over again.
So let me get this straight, he told Kuyt that he was racist yet Kuyt still wore a t-shirt in support of him?
The timing is indeed amazing for a number of reasons. As Jo Moore might say, it's a good day to bury unacceptable results.
It will also have to be presented as balanced as possible. I don't envy their job on this at all. Not that I'm any journo apologist.
Wow. I can't believe.
I thought 8-game ban was enough. It looks less 'enough' now, doesn't it?

It should be closer to 80 games.
Personally I think Evra should be forever known as 'Mr Evra', such as the team announcer...
"David De Gea! Mr Evra! Rio Ferdinand!
Also when us fans are talking about the game..
"So Mr Evra runs down the wing, plays a 1-2 with Giggsy, Mr Evra plays in a terrific cross and Chicharito heads it in"
Also, on the back of our shirts it should say 'Mr Evra'.

Is there a pdf version of the statement out there?
I think the panel should have considered Mockney's video as evidence.
The funny thing is Scousers have become experts on the naunces of South American lingo...and negerito in particular. It's a shame he didn't actually say that though.
It downloads as ashx, although changing the file extension to pdf allows me to access it.
Just do File > Save As once it's opened to get the PDF.

It's probably an FA/Sir Alex conspiracy.
I saw on RAWK that if you change the file extension to .mp3, it plays 'United Road'.
Everyone tries to cover everything up these days. Why are they so bad at it? At least ask a lawyer how to lie before you do it on camera or to a journalist!
It's like Gary Cook thinking he could blame his offensive email on 'hackers'. fecking ridiculous, no respect at all.
The punishment should be doubled for the attempt to cover it up.
So many budding lawyers there on RAWK. Apparently this will go all the way to the highest courts.
They could start by understanding when 'beyond a reasonable doubt' and 'balance of probabilities' applies.
Sensible. Of course, immediately shot down:
They got banned straight away.

Bloody hell. That place is like Nazi Germany.
I guess the thing I take away from it all is that no matter how much Liverpool FC tried to paint Evra as the villain with falsehoods, which in turn brought further, worse racist abuse upon him (and others on Twitter), it turns out that Suarez is the one who has been judged to be guilty of being an unreliable witness (amongst other things...). What a dirty, immoral bunch of shits to not now have the decency to come out and apologise for their callous behaviour towards Evra while trying to get their player off the hook.
I don't know what I'd do if MUFC dug itself such a hole. It would be absolutely horrible to have to stick by a club like that and I do genuinely feel sorry for all the decent Liverpool supporters out there tonight. People need to lose their jobs.

They should've said that the first time. Evra should sue them for libel.
And the odds of anyone from rawk paying attention to those particular sentences are how slim exactly?
Very impressive testimony from Mr Evra - loved the fact that it showed he was a credible and impressive witness.
I wonder what will Liverpool/Kenny/other players say now.
"We are disappointed. If we'd have taken our chances we could've abused Evra more."
This really does make Liverpool's actions to this point an utterly disgrace.
How could they have thought that their previous statement was wise after they had to actually take part in that whole hearing?!?

This makes a mockery of Liverpool and their fans.
For weeks we've been fed this Negrito red herring, which is a massive load of bullshit.
Evra was called a negro, that much is 100% definite, as Suarez admits it himself. Therefore the charge is proved.
The only doubt now is if he also said that other stuff, which is truly horrendous, but will never be proven one way or the other I suspect.

And it's horrible that Liverpool fans can't accept the fact that Suarez did that.
This club has become a joke. Even bigger than I thought.

The lack of a newbie system at RAWK really tells. There is a thread in the United forum about the state of our match day threads. Jveezy made an interesting comment about the newbies and how the 'shouting down' of negative comments and users go too far in trying to impress the mods.
I get that exact same feel with RAWK, they all rush in and have a 'who can condemn in the most flowery, rage induced way' to basically impress the powers who be.

So, it's negro, not negrito?
