Suarez should just have called Evra a massive c*** and he would have not been in trouble. Lesson learned I hope.

Agreed, but then they should act consistently. If what has been said is true then Evra and Suarez should have been charged.

Lovely.
Glen Johnson on twitter said:"I will support who I want when I want!!! There are a lot of reasons why I'm standing by Luis Suarez!!!"
He was given two matches for using insulting language towards an opponent - the standard punishment if a player is sent off for such an offence.
For the second charge of making a reference to Evra’s colour he was given six matches.
Interesting.

I stand to be corrected, apparently calling someone a massive c*** could get you into trouble. Who knew.
Patrice Evra has been subject to a swathe of racist abuse on Twitter in the wake of Luis Suárez receiving an eight-match ban imposed for using insulting language towards Evra that included a reference to his skin colour.
The level and intensity of the abuse has prompted Stan Collymore, the TalkSport presenter and former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest striker, to highlight it on his own Twitter page in a bid to emphasise that racism remains a major issue in football.
"Have a look at my favourites. Tell me Twitter shouldn't do something." Collymore tweeted on Friday, followed shortly afterwards with: "Just have one look at my favourites and tell me there isn't at least something to address. Nobody's playing any cards, its there to read."
Some of the tweets he has selected confirm the degree of offence being directed towards Evra on the social media site, including repeated use of the word "******" in conjunction with a variety of foul language.
Collymore had already become incidentally involved in the issue when he explained that a quote attributed to him, suggesting it was a response to Alan Hansen's use of the word "coloured" on Match of the Day, was in fact a response to a "rash of comments asking if i minded being called coloured" on Twitter and had no reference to Hansen.
In the wake of highlighting the situation Collymore himself also received abuse on the site but tweeted that the support he was receiving far outweighed negative responses, writing: "The lovely comments outstrip the bad 100/1 so thank you to those who do. Not ignoring you,just highlighting a serious issue. x"

Weird that neither of you two have a comment to say about the comments made, and are choosing to question me. Honestly.

I'm pretty chilled as it does not apply to meNo, if I wanted to be provocative I would've said people here, not been specific and pointed to racists.
Believe me, don't believe me. Your choice.
