Suarez banned for eight games

Suarez has said: "I admitted to the commission that I said a word in Spanish once and only once. I told the panel members that I will not use it again on a football pitch in England.

"I never, ever used this word in a derogatory way and if it offends anyone then I want to apologise for that.''

Textbook "unpology". If you found my harmless and certainly not racist use of that word offensive, what are you some gang of politically correct weirdos? Ok, but if you found it offensive, then I'm sorry. Will that do? Ok, I won't say it again, at least not to your faces or on a football pitch.

Liverpool were embroiled in a fresh racism controversy night, after the Oldham Athletic defender Tom Adeyemi alleged that he was racially abused twice by a supporter during an FA Cup tie at Anfield.

Adeyemi was visibly upset by the exchange and it required several team-mates, the Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, and the referee, Neil Swarbrick, to calm him down. He was booked seconds later for a wild foul on the Liverpool substitute John Flanagan.

Witnesses reported seeing two fans wearing Luis Suárez T-shirts – similar to those worn by Liverpool players at Wigan last month, after the Uruguayan was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra – confronting Adeyemi. A witness who gave evidence to Liverpool officials and the police said: "I was to the right of the Kop and the No11 turned to walk away after a tackle. I heard a single voice shout, 'You fucking black bastard.' He spun round with shock on his face and started pointing at the crowd, from where the shout had come."

Those freaking T-shirts. What a mess for Liverpool.

Adeyemi told me he was racially abused by Liverpool fans, claims Shrewsbury defender

It's all become a big mess for Liverpool, quite awful.

Come on, calling someone a "fucking black bastard" in Liverpool is all part of the sophisticated Scouse banter. How were those fans supposed to know he'd take it so personally. Just a clear cultural misunderstanding.

Liverpool FC are done for.

They reap what they sow.
The FA report on the matter was thorough, and clear in it's findings, but Liverpool refused to apologise for Suarez's actions or condemn his behaviour.
Now they have encouraged, given voice, cause and T Shirts to racist elements in their fan base.
Too late for them now to undo that damage.

Stay classy Liverpool

just shake hands after and it's all good, that's what i heard.

The UK's improved a lot on that front, but surely it's still common enough to see and hear that a single cunt's shout from the crowd wouldn't send you catatonic?

Pepe LeFrits

... and now Downing has been arrested for allegedly assaulting an ex-girlfriend, according to the Mail.

You have to wonder what Liverpool's fans are thinking at the moment. Evra is a real piece of work, but even the scousers should have enough sense to realise that it's sort of contraproductive to boo a player who's been racially abused. It's mindboggling how much Liverpool have damaged their reputation in the last few months. Neither the supporters or the club people themselves seem to realise it.

I don't think fans of any other side (yes, even ours) would have reacted any differently and I think it'd be ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Found the thread about it on redcafe hilarious.

Other clubs would certainly have handled the situation a lot better for sure, but fans are idiots. And not just at Liverpool FC.
