Evra accuses Suarez of racism

Evra has cried wolf at least three times on this, fair enough if Suarez is guilty he should be banned but Evra must be punished if this is a false allegation.

 

Seems hard to prove either way though, unless the cameras were right on it then we need some Spanish lip readers to judge one way or the other.

I've heard a bit on this from twitter,

 

few people saying the ref was made aware of it at the end of the game, few saying he was told when he it happened around 60 mins.

 

I've got it on 62:13 just after a corner waiting for the next they're running around each other and the ref stops them, they both go off screen, the camera is on the ref and Marriner mouths 'racist?' and then points to Suarez and has a bit of a word and a smile with both of them.

FA probes Evra's claims of racist abuse by Suarez - World Soccer - Yahoo! Sports

 

LONDON (AP)—The English Football Association has launched an investigation into allegations from Manchester United’s Patrice Evra that he was racially abused by Liverpool striker Luis Suarez during Saturday’s Premier League match.

 

Evra, a black French defender, was quoted as telling French TV station Canal Plus: “There are cameras, you can see him (Suarez) say a certain word to me at least 10 times.”

 

English football’s governing body said in a statement: “Referee Andre Marriner was made aware of an allegation at the end of the fixture and has subsequently reported this to The FA. The FA will now begin making inquiries into the matter.”

 

Neither Liverpool nor United immediately responded on Saturday night to requests for comment.

Not doubting what you're saying but when were the other accusations made by the odious little cunt?

In Hong Kong, apparently they have a Cantonese word that sounds like the N-word, but is basically a sentence-filling nothing word, a bit like when we use "umm", "erm" or "er" in English. This has no relevance to the Evra/Suarez thing but I just thought I'd mention it anyway.

If true and can be proven, then it needs to be sorted out with the club taking the initiative. If no evidence can be found, yet again, then maybe a complaint of some sort needs to be made. Crying racism is disgusting if it hasn't happened.

He accused the Chelsea groundsman of being a racist in 2008 when he ran half the length of the pitch to throw punches at him.

 

Now he's saying Suarez called him "the N word". This is a severe accusation to make. Should add that its defamatory to Suarez being called a racist, surely he should be able to make a claim against Evra if its unfounded. Just because your a footy player it doesnt mean you can go round slandering people. I'd be all over this as the clubs lawyers. Teach the cunt a lesson if he is lying.

He's a fucking little shit, evra. During the game he jumped up and starts doing the card waving trick. I thought that was supposed to be a yellow in its own right?

 

Then, we are expected to believe he was called a 'nigger' by suarez 'at least 10 times' during the game yet, none of his team mates supposedly heard this at the time?

 

And he only raised it with the ref after the game on french tv, not his manager? Fuck off you odious little tramp. This is going to fucking bite evra in the arse big time. Hope the FA ban him for false allegation if nothing is proved.

Just because nothing is proved doesn't mean it didn't happen though. Stan Collymore/Steve Harkness back in 98. Who knows what happened there to this day for instance? Both players vehemently declared the opposite at the time. Stan Collymore was adamant he was called a c**n and Steve Harkness denied it strongly.

 

I'm sitting on the fence with this one for the time being.

 

Evra hasn't cried wolf three times as some are suggesting. he hasn't even cried wolf once. He wasn't responsible for the Finnan stuff that was some fans in the ground. The Chelsea stuff was after the game in a warmdown when the ground was empty and there was no conclusive proof either way but immigrant and ignorant were the words being confused at the time.

 

With something like this it needs to be looked into without the colour of your teams specs on. We think Evra is a cunt, United think Suarez is a cunt, even prior to this. Suarez is rightly innocent until proven guilty if indeed it can be proven but the FA can't let it just go away. Full investigation needed and welcomed.

Evra the uber-cunt should be done for defamation if the investigation fail to prove Suarez guilt. Hardly think Suarez would be stupid enough to shout racial slur infront of 45 000 people and 100 television cameras. Oh and the fact that he's had black team mates since moving to europe and probably before that aswell.
