Have to agree with Suarez on this one. Evra did drop his hand.

think the way the FA have acted and are currently acting paints them in a very racist way, saurez non national 8 game ban, terry ex england captain nothing done and ferdinand ex england captain nothing will be done, ferdinand defending his comments by saying it was a joke does not or should not get him off the hook, he used a racist slur against an ex team mate and opponent, both terry and ferdinand should get at least 8 games each as they can not use the cultural difference excuse

It was obvious that Evra dropped his hand just before Square came to him. Now let’s see what the English FA do to Terry because if they apply the same standards as to Suarez, Terry should be in for a long “rest”. But I’m sure he’ll get away with it, after all Suarez was considered a “johnny foreigner” and John Terry is a former Engerland captain.

The FA has a successful conviction rate of 99.5%! Of the 99.5% convicted there has never been a successful appeal! Something as serious as what Suarez was charged with should never be allowed be tried in such a ridiculous kangaroo court! The repercussions are too great for a persons reputation! It should have been tried in a court of law or accepted that no crime was committed!

Evra’s ‘celebration’ at the end of the game at Old Trafford told us everything we already knew, he is a classless twunt

Suarez should just shut up. Regardless of whether he is a racist or not he should stop looking for sympothy. That was the past. He should look foward to the future. However even as a United fan, I have to admit Evra did drop his hand in the Liverpool match. To be honest they both snubbed each other and Evra just pretended that he tried shaking hands with him.

Seriously we’re allowed to comment on this and not on the John Terry case? Why? In my opinion this is a worse article to comment on when you have plenty of Man U & Liverpool fans.

For the record as a Liverpool fan I do think Suarez got carried away but he’s defiantly not raciest, I also believe John Terry’s side of the story

actually, Ferdinand retweeted the comment, that’s as good as originating it. this is a well known slur amongst the British black community

Can see why he’s a bit pissed of and feeling victimised given whats happened or more precisely not happened over John Terry and Rio Ferdinand’s remarks. Can u really blame him for feeling a bit of a conspiracy is at work here? He explained his remarks were over cultural difference of interpratation of the word ‘negreto’ which the F.A. Perhaps trying to make an example of him rejected, but what excue have these guys got?
He also has a point re: Man Utd and the political power and sway they have over the F.A., but really at this time as hard is it is he should just have shut his mouth and got on with things do his talking on the pitch next season.

I can just imagine it, himself and his wife, crying into their cornflakes before he sets off for training. He returns after a grueling 4 hours of work to find his wife curled up in a ball with the family dog on the rug in front of the fireplace. They lock the doors, phone off the hook, draw the curtains and into bed at 2.30 pm to spooncry their way to sleep only to do it all again the next day. Only the strongest can pull through such an awful ordeal. Credit to them and their will to carry on.

So it was CGI manipulation of that non handshake all along! I knew it!

Ferdinand didn’t call anyone a choc ice. One of his tweet followers do and he laughed at it. Get your facts straight – so typical of the anti-united brigade.

Man united is the fa

He laughed and said it was spot on. What’s the difference?

This clown needs to give up and get on with it! Leave it where it was…

you visit/live/work in another country it is your duty to learn and abide by the rules/laws/customs/cultural differences of that country.i dont care if he used to call his granny every racial slur under the sun,he should have,and did know better…

Poor Suarez. It’s tough when you earn 100k a week and having it proved you racially abused somebody is the worst thing that’s ever happened.

Heart bleeds. Infamy infamy they all have it in fo’ me.

Controversy has followed Suarez around his whole career. He fought with an ex teammate, bit another player and then was involved in the racial matter with Evra. A real upstanding guy. Whether or not he is in fact racist, the term he used on Evra wasn’t used as a term of endearment. He had battled with Evra all through the game and they got into an altercation which resulted in him saying what he did. It obviously wasn’t meant as a friendly comment. I have no time for him purely on the basis that he isn’t the model professional and showed no remorse for his actions. He’s whining now so he can get some retrospective sympathy and from the comments I see, it’s working. Not defending Evra, his celebrations after the game were a disgrace and should’ve been more professional about it. I think Suarez should just shut up and let his football do the talking. He’s reopened a closed issue. Good player but I just can’t help but think there is more controversy to follow….

Sorry Jeff but why was Suarez banned if he didn’t do anything wrong. This whole thing about the FA being biased towards Utd is getting old. Rio got banned for missing (not failing) a drugs test. Surely the FA would have given him the benefit of the doubt because they are so friendly with Utd. That pretty much renders your point null and void. Another conspiracy theorist/ ABU.

Suppose it takes one to know one Stephen

The powers that be in Liverpool FC should tell Suarez to shut up about this. The whole issue is starting to become tiresome and the football season is stil weeks away.

Well I got called,” whitey ” by a black colleague in work.
When I reported it to my superior, he laughed at me, and told me,”that’s not racist.”

Equality will never exist!

Rodgers first test as a manager. Suarez must know commenting about this in public is only stoking a simmering fire. There is an ugly dimension to LFC and Man U rivalry and this really is extremely irresponsible. Suarez has a public profile and when is he going to grow up? As a diehard LFC fan, I despair… All these off the field headlines are a sign of a club in crisis. Rodgers has to put a stop to it. LFC have to show leadership and distant themselves from this childishness. If this means selling him so be it. His footballing talent is without question but without a real sense of responsibility… It is devalued and undermined.
Suarez, I am sure the whole saga was tough on you but keep your discussions about it to your nearest and dearest, for your own sake, for LFC’s sake and for sake of the game. You are ruining it for everyone.

i find it hard to believe that suarez,having lived in holland for years,where this a large black community,did not know “negrito” would offend.

In other news Luis Suarez today announced his unwavering belief in the Easter bunny, tooth fairy and santa. Dalglish announced that he was 100% behind Luis claiming that anyone who contadicted Suarez was buying into a conspiracy led by United attempting to call into doubt the sanity of Liverpools leading players.

Suarez’s was lying from the off… Video evidence shows you that he pinched and struck evra. He was proven to have racially abused evra because his witnesses both had different accounts of what Suarez said alleged to have happened…. Negrito is a friendly term yes in his homeland but in the most passion filled derby game of the season…come on please…. Is Suarez a racist I don’t know…. Did he racially abuse evra… I wouldn’t have bet against it would you??
