KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Suarez charged following racism allegations

What made me laugh was that JT seems to think he was being clever in saying t hat he had said "" I didn't call you... B**** B******. "

Immediately, this has cast doubt upon JT's honesty as Ferdinand said he hadn't spoken to JT on this subject.

Also, if TV cameras had been following on JT they would have disproven that if not true.

If the police had questioned seperately Ferdinand for his side of events again this would have cast doubt on Terrys honesty.

I don't know if anyone has been prosecuted for an offence on the basis of lip readers. Its an interesting subject. I think they use them a lot more in the states. Personally, although I think 95 percent will agree that JT did say something racist. I don't think he should be done on the basis of lip reader evidence. There is always the element of doubt, if backed up by 3 other players then it would be hard for him to clear his name. As it is I think he's made things worse for himself , but that he will still get off. I'd love to see him getting the book thrown at him though

Here you go Wakka! Evidence of Little Pleb...I mean Pea, using it in the past. (3rd line from the end)

Typical jock!

Frankly it's an open and shut case. Evra misheard, got upset, and Suarez probably figured "whatever this clown thinks I'm saying is getting him to lose his focus - I can use that to my advantage". But that doesn't make it racial abuse.

The FA needs to be very clear on what exactly they're charging Suarez for. If they think it's racial abuse then they need absolute proof that he used such a slur with such intent, and in all honesty that's going to be really difficult simply because Suarez is not an English speaker. If they're upset that he ruffled a few Manc feathers, frankly that's tough sh*t because a) modern sport often hinges on opponents being unbalanced (Zidane World Cup final, anyone?), and b) Evra probably needs a hearing aid. The FA can't afford to take sides in a dispute that hinges on one man's word over another, so charging him is a mistake regardless of the outcome. They can't sweep it under the carpet anymore - either he's found guilty or they look like fools. And I don't think the FA cares much for the latter.

I think he will be found guilty either rightly or wrongly but what amazes me is the people here mentiniong his liverpool career will be over.

One thing is for sure, the FA will screw us one way or another.

If he's found guilty I very much doubt that his Liverpool career will be over, Snakeye. Correct or not, most LFC supporters believe Suarez is innocent of the charge, so a guilty verdict will just be more us vs them stuff. We protect our own, and he's one of us now. If anything we're going to be more proud of him once his ban is served (8 games?), because he was the guy the FA unjustly threw the book at but is still there knocking them in for Liverpool. He threw a deliberate handball that knocked Ghana out of the world cup, and also bit a guy in his Ajax days, they'll say. He'll be hero and cult hero combined.

Frankly I am a little concerned since Blatter made his apology about his choice of words. FIFA (Blatter) might just now find a scapegoat to enforce his/their new standing and the Suarez situation would be ideal opportunity.

their should be an investigation into Frgies influence on the FA, after about 25 years in the PL his boys are all over the FA and the media, picking officials, changing fixtures and things like this, claiming transparency is BS, its just like in Italy now.
