The FA had to act because Evras complained. Going by the testimony in terrys trial every minute of every game in just non.stop playground level abuse.from a bunch of poorly educated thickos. Who knows what they are saying and I'm sure a.lot of the abuse is racial. In this case evra called it out. And before everyone howls none of us here know his motives. Who knows what black players have to endure week in week out. Terry may get away with it not because of a fergie conspiracy but because an off duty cop complained. Suarez should have demanded a court trial if he wanted the same level of evidential proof. Although if found guilty he would have had a criminal record. As for the insults used , and they were used , being a term of affectionate teasing in south America, please give me a break. No one on here really believes that that was Suarez's intention. Really.
'The FA had to act because Evras complained.'. Yes. but we expect them to do so in a fair and impartial manner. Instead, the FA brought the charge and appointed the panel made up of FA people. They also met secretly with Evra multiple times leading up to the hearing. Further more, the level of evidence required to prove such a serious charge should've been higher without someon having to ask for it.
'Suarez should have demanded a court trial'. Cheap talk. I think you'll find that he didn't have the authority to do so. He would also have been under pressure from the club to follow their strategy in dealing with the issue.
'As for the insults used , and they were used'. Exactly what were these insults? and What proof do you have?
