Suarez ****** for 8 matches on the word of the "victim"

[larss]

What are the FA on?

After 6 days of deliberations, having heard evidence against Luis Suarez from only the complainant (Patrice Evra), they give him a 8 match ban.
I get the feeling that this will be turned over, but is being used to ensure that John Terry (against whom there apparently is evidence) does get a ban.

Apparently Suarez admitted using the word 'Negrito' at the trial, in any case I suspect if anything it's a cultural misunderstanding and I think all foreigners coming to this country to live should attend a short course on what is acceptable and unacceptable inc language, gesters and manners etc. I see people spitting on the pavement and hitting **** in public thinking it's acceptable.

****** Suarez should have been told by Liverpool what is acceptable in Britain, claims Taylor

WHAT HAPPENED AT ANFIELD ON OCTOBER 15?

Manchester United faced Liverpool in a Premier League match. In the 57th minute Suarez fouled Evra and tempers flared at the next corner. They squared up to each other and Evra asked why Suarez kicked him. Suarez said he should forget about it, these things happen. Evra claims Suarez then became racially abusive, using the word 'negro'. Suarez denies using the word in that clash. Evra is clearly wound up, but nearby players do not seem particularly bothered.

A few minutes later Marriner calls the pair together. Suarez apologises and tries to pat Evra on the head. It is alleged Evra said: 'Don't touch me, you South American,' to which Suarez replies: 'Porque, negro?'

Evra catches Kuyt two minutes later and is booked. He allegedly shouts at Marriner: 'You're only booking me because I'm black.'

Suarez is bemused, saying: 'I called him something his team-mates call him and even they were surprised by his reaction.'
