The FA have decided to award victory in the FA cup 4th round match to Manchester United this evening having accepted captain Patrice Evra's claim that his team scored 10 times.

Despite 9 of the goals not having been witnessed by the TV, players, crowd or referee, the FA found Evra to be a convincing witness. Conversely Liverpool FC goalkeeper Pepe Reina's testimony was found to be totally unreliable. He admitted conceding one goal but could provide no evidence that the other 9 had not been scored. On the grounds of probability, the FA have concluded that the goals will stand and so United will progress to the 5th round.

Liverpool have 7 days to appeal.
 
This isn't funny.

You also failed in the sense that the racist abuse of Evra was picked up but not broadcast.

Some of the conversation between Evra and Suarez was picked up by microphones and camera's and not broadcast (As I'm sure you're aware there are other microphones and camera's in most grounds especially one as big as Anfield) and they were presented in the hearing were they not?

It was certainly reported.

Pretty sure it was reported at the time. It formed part of the footage that the linguistic experts used.

I'm not sure what reports you read that in but there was no video or audio recording showing Suarez say anything specific to Evra.

And I don't think you know what you're talking about regarding the linguistic experts. All they done was determine whether what Evra claimed Suarez said was offensive and whether what Suarez claimed he said was offensive. They didn't examine any evidence or give their opinion on anything other than the translation of the 2 versions of events.
