Luis Suarez

[hans kraay fan club]

The only way the FA will get involved is if the CPS decide not to proceed (unlikely?) then the FA will have the dilemma whether it should take it's own action if the CPS decide not to proceed or if JT is acquitted in Court. .

Not so - even if it goes to court, the FA will still take their own action - its not as though the court is going to give him a playing ban, is it?

Imagine if the court found him guilty, and gave him a two-week suspended prison sentence, or a community order of some kind, so he'd be free to play for Chelsea without any disruption to his career. There would be uproar.


If it goes to court and he is found innocent, then the FA are in a difficult position.

If Terry doesn't get twice the sentence dished out for Suarez then it will prove that the Chelsea and Man Utd scum have got the FA in there pockets.

Teams like LFC and Spurs are playing with one hand tied behind their backs if you ask me.

Of course they are Brian, of course they are...

Black armbands at the ready for the next game then for Liverpool.

What I don't understand is that David Davies, ex head of the FA, is saying that it's one of the most difficult cases the FA has ever had to handle and even the head of Kick Racism Out of Football has said "No-one is saying he's a racist, he's probably a very nice guy". It is clear, as Gus and others have pointed out, that this has happened because of cultural differences. In Uruguay, what Suarez said would not be offensive.

So the logical conclusion of all of this is that the FA should have shown a great deal of leniancy - perhaps a fine and a 'suspended' sentence. Instead, when it is obvious this is a massive grey area, they give him an EIGHT game ban.

Once again the FA prove what idiots they are.

You're sounding a bit sorry and hard done by there Brian. You're not from Liverpool are you?

Closet Man U fan takes on not so closet Liverpool fan. I'm wavering between 'toss' and 'a monkeys' and can't decide which one not to give.

Anyway, it's clear the FA are playing a bigger game here. After Blatter's bizarre comments on racism the FA are taking a very high moral ground regarding this.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

f*** me I thought Celtic fans were paranoid with the supposed Scottish FA/Rangers conspiracy but Liverpool are taking it to a whole new level.

Not really. He won't be found innocent, he will be found not guilty. It sounds like it's the same thing, but technically, it's not. Innocence isn't proven, it's assumed. The prosecution just hasn't proven to a particular judge or a particular jury guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. With football, there always tends to be cynicism about the impartiality (look at the Gerrard trial, where he was found not guilty of attacking the guy in the club, and some people drew suggested being a liverpool player on trial in liverpool may have protected him) and perhaps certain quarters may feel the FA would be more impartial than a jury of londoners in the trial of a chelsea hero.

Perhaps one can argue that the same standards should apply, but I doubt they do.

Agree with most of that. Very odd. Unless this is the start of some kind of zero tolerance campaign. I doubt it though.

Have you been sleeping with Common as Mook again?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

At the end of the day, Luis Suarez has taught us a lovely term of endearment from his native country.

What has John Terry ever done for us?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

8 game ban £40,000 fine

been made a scapegoat ......end of thread.

 

[W.C.]

and I didn't know til today that Suarez's granddad was black. I wonder what he would have made of this.

Because I share the same opinion, I must be in cahoots with him? And you call Scousers paranoid.

Haha. Got to love it when these premiershite fans get all upset.

Seems I've touched a nerve. Do carry on, I've got some upsetness to be getting on with!

Almost as good as those who use that phrase. Just makes people sound like bitter 12 year olds.

I know. People who have never been the subject of any sort of racial abuse telling ethnic minorities how they should feel about racism. Bizarre innit.

Absolutely, just like people born and brought up in sussex telling people from london how they should feel about the extreme changes experienced by the native population.................................it works both ways CAM.
