Luis Suarez - scumbag

[Wax Jacket]

Surely they could just call on their friends at the Spanish FA to understand racism a little better........oh

Easily one of the most annoying traits on HNA this. The "oh" symbolising shock/confusion...even though you know exactly what you are going to write..as does everyone else.

Looks like the language issue caused this 'misunderstanding'.

Unfortunately for Terry I don't think he can use the same 'I was just calling him what his team-mates call him' excuse.

If he said the word in this country he should face charges like anyone else in this country. If I go to an Arab country and get boozed up do you think I can blame a cultural misunderstanding? No chance.

5 month ban and community service with a suspended jail sentence should ensure no such cultural misunderstandings happen again.

If you get boozed up in a premises where you can get boozed up, and they exist in say, Saudi Arabia, then you don't get punished. If Suarez said something in Spanish that is culturally acceptable where he grew up, and to someone who speaks Spanish and who might he have expected to understand it and it's cultural meaning(Suarez says Evra's team-mates called him it too), then he is guilty of nothing more than being a bit naive.

If there was any racial slur intended, or it wasn't used in that context then obviously the book should be thrown at Suarez.

By that logic he should only be allowed to get away with that insult in places in the UK that find the slur acceptable which rules out on a football pitch.

[Hoop Blah]

You mean like in and around players who apparently use the same phrase?

It's not acceptable comonureds. He's in this country so he has to respect our culture.

Well Anfield is a place in the UK where Suarez can say or do anything he likes so you best keep that 'logic' to yourself.

[exileinleeds]

He's been charged by the FA.



Half an hour after Sepp Blatter said there is no racism in football.



No corruption or tax evasion either I suppose.

[No Fixed Abode]

Yep - charged for racially abusing Evra. I expect Liverpool to sack him now.

[TheMaraudingDog]

Lets hope he gets severely dealt with. No room for racism in football.

Big Ron got sacked for les.

[LWJ]

HE won't be sacked, more like hailed by the Liverpool shit heads.

[No Fixed Abode]

Liverpool have to termin8 his contract. Otherwise they'll be seen as not backing the Kick racism out of football campaign.

[FiNeRaIn]

lol you all know the club will fine him a few weeks wages, make him issue an apology,etc and he'll be back playing after his FA ban. This is 2011....clubs want their best players playing and nothing else matters, any club would be the same.

[TheMaraudingDog]

Id like him to issue his apology to the parents of Stephen Lawrence.

Its what stephen would have wanted.

I can understand why Liverpool wouldn't want to lose him, but they should termin8 his contract and he should be banned from playing football - it's the right and moral thing to do. Otherwise, what message does it send out to the Kick Racism Out Of Football campaign? It will just mean you can be racist and get away with it.

Pretty sure it was for Marcel, then again they all look alike anyway don't they?
