Don't know, don't really care, you can't say it either way. It's horrible.
Quote of the thread right their Ladies & Gents. Despite the vitriol from both set's of fans, this should be a very (pardon the pun and not intended) black and white case.

Context means nothing we live in England not south America and in England negro means negro and is offensive,if I used that word in work I would be sacked on the spot so why should it be diffrent on a football field,he used the word take the punishment!

One interesting point from the report; the exchange took place in Spanish and Evra believed the word Negro meant ****** in Spanish, which it didn't. Even before all this happened, even I knew that Negro simply meant black in Spanish. If Evra can misunderstand that, how reliable is the rest of his translation as to what was said?
Any particular reason for this or just because the panel say so?
Ok finished it all.
It's very obvious that a case like this is too much to be dealt with by some FA panel: the result for Suarez is so severe I don't see how the FA can say he's guilty.... Probably.. And state that it's acceptable under FA rules to hand out punishment. This isn't a case of " he probably said x players mom is a fat horse" so here, have a 4 match ban.. The result of this case has implications far beyond a football ban, and as such criminal prosecution rules should have been applied.

What straws am I clutching at? I've not given an opinion either way until I've finished reading the report.
It was a general point. If Evra's understanding of the Spanish language is patchy, how reliable is his translation of what Suarez is said to have said? Just like I made the general point that he should have been charged with discrimination if the panel believe he said 'because you are black'.
edit: another point; Evra claimed that the inconsistencies in his accusations regarding the use of the word black & ****** were down to the fact he doesn't like using the word ******. There's a video on youtube that says otherwise.
Would I not need to be claiming Suarez's innocence to be clutching at straws?
but that's not under the code of practise that clubs agree to follow is it? they've already said that they applied a heavier weight of evidence due to the severity of the accusation and there's an admission from Suarez that he did call Evra a negro to contend with as well.
no?
