The one thing you must remember is that the world is not against us...If anything, I feel the only people that I think are against us are the FA and the mancs withperhaps a minority of other fans. MOst of the people who have commented on the situation have said they feel the ban is harsh, ridiculous, over the top and a blatant mistake. I think the entire world knows that this case is not about Luis Suarez but about the FA vs. FIFA and UEFA.

I now see your style!! Your the bury your head in the sand type!! Maybe we do need to take on the world, It's time one or two of your sort realised that all this Racism Sh!t is causing more prolems that it's fixing.

He did not admit to using a racial slur, however, while Evra said he did. That makes it Evra's word vs his own, and the FA went with what the black guy said. I really won't be surprised to see more such claims in future.

Racism is stupid. The measures we put in place to protect those easily insulted are unfortunately even more so.


Negrito, meaning little black, is the racial slur buddy. Its do we let him off cause its not racist in uruguay. The answer was no. He's admitted to it. Nothing to do with lets take the black guys side.

It's also starting to come out that he used the word negro, again in south america fine, but the question was does tht let him off not playing by english standards of what can be said? FA decided know. We would do well as a club to just state, suarez is not a racist, he used a word that evra found insulting and was dealt a hefty punishment. We will deal with it then move on.

After a few days digesting this, I feel the 8 game ban was exccessive but Suarez did admit he said those words so at the end of the day the ban is understandable. Culrural differences or not, he is playing in England and not in his homeland so he should not have said those words. Hopefully the FA can be a bit lenient and shorten the ban to 5 games maximum but other than that, I don't think its an unfair ban as many fans put it. It really depends on how you look at it, but fact is Suarez used negrito and its not acceptable outside Uruguay. Lets take it on the chin, move on an dhopefully sign a quality striker in January.

where are these people folding and giving up on Suarez coming from?

what happened to "you never walk alone"?

caving to all those 2-faced who claim a "higher morality" who don't even know the details?

"negrito" is used in all Spanish speaking countries not just Uruguay, its not that rare.

and why is calling someone by his features racist? did Suares target Evra for abuse? no its the other way around.

But how did you "calculate" 5 games?

Shouldn't the punishment be at least a bit synchronized with some other recent cases, so that it resembles some kind of logical sense?

For instance what about Rooney kicking a player and getting just a 2 game ban for it?

Then saying "Negro" or "Negrito" gives you an 8 game ban and a £ 40 K fine!

That just can't be said being a tiny bit justified and synchronized, can it?
