Suarez and Evra Thread.

Unfortunate that an innocent man should be frowned upon by public, just because he refuses to take the hand of a lying bitch.

Karma is a wonderful bitch. :D

Remember this moment in the tunnel - from 2:42

For those thinking the silver lining in all this is that players will think twice about "saying anything remotely racist"...Think again. This case means one player can now succesfully prosecute another, not through the criminal court, but through the FA Panel procedure, with only his word against the defendant. All he needs to state is he heard abuse and it offended him. That is the only objective basis of Evra's case against Suarez. Evra's allegations were deemed too insubstantial (one man's word against another), to take the case to criminal court. The FA Panel made several linguistic and subjective somersaults to come to the conclusion that Suarez is not racist, and even agreed he could reasonably be believed to have not made a racist comment with his claimed one use of the Spanish version of the word negro: "the use of negro as described here by Mr Suarez would not be offensive. Indeed, it is possible that the term was intended as an attempt at conciliation and/or to establish rapport. (Para 190). But instead they disregarded this and chose to find him guilty anyway, belieiving Evra's claims, uncorroborated by video, audio or other independent means, that in his view Suarez had made additional comments to the agreed one use of negro in its spanish context. The only black player to be involved in a recent high profile racism allegation case was Evra, again. That allegation was made on his behalf by Mike Phelan, but Evra did give testimony and his testimony was dismissed by that FA Panel as "exaggerated and unreliable". Why this panel chose to view Evra as suddenly being a model witness for his word to be worth more than Suarez's is not explained at all by the Panel.

So typical of so many LFC supporters. You give the good guys a bad name.

Luis Suárez handshake row upsets Liverpool sponsors Standard Chartered


Liverpool's US owners and their shirt sponsor have intervened to help defuse the race row surrounding Luis Suárez's refusal to shake Patrice Evra's hand before Liverpool's defeat at Manchester United on Saturday.

Standard Chartered, which pays around £20m a season to sponsor Liverpool, went public with its criticism in a brief statement, saying: "We were very disappointed by Saturday's incident and have discussed our concerns with the club." A person familiar with the matter said: "It was a very robust conversation."

Standard Chartered was attracted to Liverpool by its strong Asian support base. The bank is based in London but makes almost all its profits in Asia. Most of its staff are in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

The BBC reported that the Fenway Sports Group, which bought the club in 2010 and owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team, had said an apology was necessary. A spokesman for Liverpool declined to comment on the reports that pressure had been brought to bear.

The Football Association, which imposed the eight-match ban, will take no action over Suárez's refusal to shake hands because it is not a disciplinary issue.

The Liverpool striker apologised on Sunday for refusing the handshake before his team's 2-1 loss at Old Trafford and his manager Kenny Dalglish also said sorry for his post-match reaction when challenged over the snub. Suárez was returning to the Liverpool starting lineup for the first time since serving an eight-match ban for racially abusing Evra during a match in October.
 
Well, something good has come from all of this... Andrew Jordaan, the guy who murdered Sheldean Human, was killed over a Man U/Liverpool argument on Sunday morning. Guess you're right about that karma thing.
