Suarez/Evra

I'm still on the phone but anyway.

This needed a dedicated thread from the announcement of an inquiry onwards, and definitely since the reaction of LFC to the punishment meted out.

ILF has thoughts. Let's hear em.

The last 24 hours have changed everything, because it's clear Fenway and Standard Chartered have taken over handling now. Hoping this thread can dwindle away now.

no fun.

i don't think that this issue is closed while suarez has failed to apologise to evra for any offence caused.

that, imo, is no more of an admission than has already been made, and, had it occurred the day after the event, would probably have consigned the whole thing to 'minor spat' status.

what i don't understand is why

why john terry didn't get 8 match ban
why suarez got 8 match ban
why is john terry charged for racism
why is suarez not charged for racism

i don't understand why they believed evra and not suarez surely if you believe one you have to believe the other or else believe neither and if thats the case surely they couldn't have found suarez guilty of been a racist

because you can't trust anyone from south america?

but if you read the report you'll see that evra lied and suarez told the truth and evra had the video in front of him and suarez didn't and when you think of how they treated degsy hatton it's a disgrace

Would be interesting to see, if Terry is cleared, whether the FA would take the case forward given the lower burden of proof required. I'd assume not. Getting charged by the CPS might actually get him out of a lengthy ban.

i'd assume they would, tbh

I'd hope they would but having a 'not guilty' verdict in a court of law might make it challenging from a PR perspective.

that would be a shambles

perhaps but as you say the standard of proof is different. iirc a not guilty verdict in a criminal case doesn't prevent somebody from bringing a civil suit against you, for example.

tbf we all know that, but relying on the fa to run with it might be, as sharivari says, optimistic

Would be a disgrace if they didn't. For one thing, the fact there's a prosecution at all means the evidence against JT must be much stronger than against Suarez.

why john terry didn't get 8 match ban
why suarez got 8 match ban
why is john terry charged for racism
why is suarez not charged for racism

1. Because the FA aren't allowed to do anything that might prejudice Terry's trial
2. Read the report
3. Because there has to be an official complaint from someone
4. See above

4. Even if there was a complaint, the evidence in Suarez's case wouldn't be enough to get a conviction. Which is why I'd be curious to know exactly what they've got on Terry.

guys

oops - think I fell for a fake twitter

fuckers

no way

xp lol

quite a few people on my facebook have been approvingly posting this Roy Keane "quote" over the past few days
"‎If I was playing, if Incey was playing, if Sparky was playing: Suarez ends the game wishing he'd shaken hands"

Onimo - saw somebody else fall for that earlier, you're not alone

(and You'll Never Walk Alone)

Is Keano one for nicknames? I can almost imagine him erring in the other direction and plumping for Mr Ince, Mr Hughes.

Speaking four months ago he said: 'Chops is a very, very good striker. Whether our club can afford him on his wages remains to be seen.'

Meanwhile, Keane has told four players they do not figure in his future plans for Ipswich even thought they all have a year to run on their current contracts.

Full name Rocky Michael Chopra[1]
Date of birth 23 December 1983 (age 28)[1]
Place of birth Newcastle upon Tyne, England

Keane does do nicknames i think, but the fact that people believed he might actually have a twitter was somewhat surprising.

chops is a top fox in the box at the end of the day

I think Keane generally goes with the "first names for good guys, surnames for wanks" rule.

scholesy gets preferential iirc

keano only does nicknames when he's being sarcastic iirc.

Come on.. Chops! very very good striker!!

he fucking loves nicknames, the book is full of them. o'kaney, cleggsy, wallworky, etc.

I'd always assumed Triggs was short for something, but no.

it's short for "Triggs 71"
