How about innocent until PROVEN guilty, not just one mans word against another's? Huh? How about that?
He was just proven guilty... what other proof do you want? the transcript of the proceeding?
Yes.
See the word 'if'? What about you? Saying '**** Evra'. What if Suarez did say that?
Then I'll quite happily apologise and retract my statement.
But you made it without knowing who is lying? Then k@k me out about not knowing what happened.
Odd.
Where did I do that?
Do which part? Say '**** Evra' or k@k me out? 1st part you've done twice. 2nd on top of this page
How about innocent until PROVEN guilty, not just one mans word against another's? Huh? How about that?
I meant the 2nd part, I know I've said **** Evra more than once.
Don't you think it's a bit fishy? Like One man's word against anothers? No other evidence (that we know of)? If the ban is upheld then it sets a massive precedent for the future whereby players can get each other banned "because he said xyz."
I agree that it would set a bad precedent. But if we review, Suarez himself said he called Evra something that even his own team mates call him. His defence was not that he didn't say it, but that in Uruguay it has a different context. As I said to Mickey, the EPL isn't played in Uruguay, and Suarez should know better.
no this is a MAN UTD player's word vs another player's word.
Cheese, Alan?
Lets see what happens with Terry now!

Nothing will happen. The police will say insufficent evidence or something, then the FA will say it has been dealt with by a higher power and there is nothing more they can do. Then JT gets off scott free for calling someone a black c**t (with video evidence).
Announcement from the police is expected shortly btw.
Actually, he wasn't proven guilty, but adjudged to be. There is no evidence to corroborate Evra’s claims- no video evidence, nothing heard on the pitch side microphones, no team mate to back up his story, not even the match officials.
In fact, the only evidence that anything was said was Suarez admitting he called Evra a “negrito”, which many South American pundits and journalists state is not offensively used within those sub cultures.
Where the lack of consistency is truly terrible is that Evra admitted that Suarez is not a racist man. Evra also admitted to insulting Suarez using a very foul Spanish insult, for which he interestingly has not been charged. And to make matters worse, this is not Evra’s first claim of racism.
I recall him making similar claims to Chelsea ground staff at Stamford Bridge some time ago, a claim that resulted in him being fined for “for supplying “exaggerated and unreliable” evidence”. As Liverpool rightly stated, not a credible statement on Evra’s part.
Will be interesting to see what the FA state as evidence for the ban…
