Willie, it is very debatable whether or not he made a racist comment. If you read the 115-page report you get a very clear understanding from the linguistic experts that if Suarez’s version of events is believed it is not racist.; if Evra’s are then it is. There is no way you can determine that Evra’s is correct (the panel decided it “probably” was. The panel that consisted of three white, English-speaking men. One of which has ties to Chelsea and another who is a family friend of Ferguson. None of the three speak Spanish, let alone a South American dialect).

For some more information on how inaccurately the “racist” tag has been thrown around I suggest you read these reports from a non-LFC fan; simply a media skeptic; before you say things like that.

I’d go and have a read of Ian Ayre’s and Kenny Dalglish’s statements if I were you. You might find out why King Kenny was so angry.

Nobody ever said Suarez was a racist, but he did make a racist comment.

Fergie and all you people in lock-step with him is so out of touch. This is not a ‘racism’ issue at all – and both Fergie and Evra know it. They saw a way to trying and hang Suarez and LFC – and they took it. Suarez is part black and has done a lot of charity work in the slums of South America. He is not racist, the FA says his not racist, Evra said he didn’t think he was racist – but Fergie keeps banging on about racism. What we saw today was the inability of Suarez to capitulate (again) in the moment. He’s paid his fine, done his time, and been vilified in the English press as the poster boy of racism – in the biggest country of bigots and thugs. That hurts! He was forced to drop his appeal, watched as Terry and Ferdinand were let off the handshakes, and now expected to kowtow to a sneering Evra. He is foolish and petulant – but he’s 24 years old. Now we have Fergie talking about him as if he were a murderer needing to be taken out. This is why Dalglish is angry – it’s political and it’s machiavellian. The media want their little foreign immigrant scapegoat to absolve England of its history of hooligan ugliness. The whole thing is a farce and I can’t believe all these pious, sanctimonious comments I’m reading.
