If you did read the report it said that Evra insulted Suarez for kicking him and then Suarez said “calmate negro” which means “calm down dude”. I’m sure he repeated that and thats what Evra means with “repeated 5 times”.

Sueraz kicks Evra, Evra asks ,Why did you kick me,,Sueraz says because you are black, and then said it another five times,
The fact that you say the lovely Evra either means you are not being objective or you want to have sex with him ,or both.
I am gob smacked at the attemps by people, who must have very low IQ’s or something, to defend blatent racism you can crawl back under you rock now.
You both support this behavior, sod lets go have a pint and I’ll film you going up to people saying exactly the langueg he admits to, your scum.

ignorant is the FA’s report, Evra didnt once mention any of the other incidents which were based on lip reading esp the incident in the box, the alleged blacky, blacky, blacky….I’d love to see the camera angle the commission acquired which enabled them to see a further 3 inches to the left to read his lips…..further more the fact that Evra called Saurez sister a cunt in Spanish before labeling him as some sort of low life south american, he deserved what he got and as ruud guillet said in a recent article, why get upset if someone says because you are black…..when you are…..it’s madness how you can get away with calling a person anything under the sun on the pitch but you mention black your a racist. There was never any sufficient evidence, if so why havent the FA released all this new camera evidence which incidentally Evra was shown before he was actually given the opportunity to pass comment on it unlike Suarez, read the facts and between the lines and get your blinkers off lad before you spout a lot of bollocks. This would never have stood in a court of law, they would have laughed it off

JJon if you read the report you will see that the lovely evra elaborates on what he meant exactly by ten times when he said that suarez did not say it ten times but that this was just a french figure of speech for said it a couple of times, aye of course it was son……..also youtube the evra monaco video and go to 35mins in and see who’s the wee saint, the guy who couldnt bring himself say nigerito to the ref during the game because it was such a shocking word……..the FA are o corrupt and so scared of fergie it’s bordering on madness

I hope some day you travel to the middle east and inadvertently show the soles of your feet to someone, who then beats the shit out of you while you sit there in total ignorance of what you’ve done.

While I’m sure this piece is (was) well-intentioned and is highly informative on Uruguayan culture it is built on a set of assumptions in the second paragaph that are now, in light of the report, pretty much void.

I don’t think it is unbalanced though – it’s not even entirely about Suarez, and there is surely some empathy to be had if the people of Uruguay do feel that Suarez is being unfairly punished for something that is culturally acceptable there. He’s a football icon of their country playing in the most watched league of the world.

However, I think the report confirms that Suarez’s evidence doesn’t amount to a reliable defence and the fact is his behaviour in the English premier league is governed by, and has to answer to, the FA’s rules and regulations.

Which is why the author’s last paragraph is wrong. This case isn’t bigger than football – it has to be contextualised and handled within football, and within English football. While I feel eight games for the ban is probably a couple too many, the FA have acted in the best interests of English football as a model of the game with a global audience.
