And out popped a smiling Glen Johnson...

Johnson, however, has now claimed Evra "stayed up all night" concocting a plan to get Suárez into trouble by lowering his hand by his side during the pre-match ritual.

😆 So many details to consider. So little time. Everything had to match up perfectly for that plan to be a success.

Biggus

Johnson accused the former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath of racism after he used Twitter to criticise the England international for wearing the T-shirt at Wigan. Johnson said: "The McGrath thing … that's actually racist. Saying what he said is racist. He is only saying that to me because I was the only black lad wearing the T-shirt. He's targeting me because of my colour."

McGrath tweeted on Thursday: "It saddens me that Glen Johnson has called me a racist, but he is entitled to his opinion."

😆 This incident keeps on giving and giving.....

"With the media these days and the way it was going to be blown up, maybe the T-shirts thing wasn't the right thing to do. How should I say this? We wore them to show our support for Luis. It wasn't to send a message to everyone else. It was just for him.

"It seemed to come across that we were making a point. We weren't. It was the club's idea. But obviously we all agreed. We didn't really think about how people would react."

Thinking back over the stuff that's happened, I've come to the conclusion that Suarez isn't racist. He's just a cunt who said racist shit to get Evra riled. Vile character.

Of course. Sure that was always it. Doesn't matter if he's not a racist though, you can't say that sort of shit on a football pitch. Its as simple as that. Petty, cheating little scumbag.

He's a mediocre player too. He dribbles well be its not much use if he can't keep his balance at the end to take the shot.

Hmm interesting distinction.

Mello

I agree with banduan, I know what he means.

Rex

If you say racist shit, even in anger, you are a racist. Suarez is a racist, just like John Terry.

Pepe LeFrits

Yeah, but saying a racist word doesn't automatically you a racist. Being a racist is something deeper than just saying an inappropriate word to get a rise out of someone.

Klaus

Racists believe that people's value is dictated by race and skin colour. Assholes just say racist things to hurt or wind up others. I honestly don't give a toss about him but Suarez falls into the asshole category for me.

Rex

For a normal person the race thing doesn´t even get in play even when you get angry. That only happens if it is already "there" so to speak.

My experience at least.

Well yeah, but I think Banduan's suggestion was that Suarez said racist shit not out of anger, but in a calculated sort of way just to be a dick.

Rex

I know. I have met plenty of cunts in my day, and the race thing is STILL only brought up by those cunts who also have some sort of belief that one race is "better" than another.

As I said, that´s just my experience growing up as a black kid. Doesn´t necessarily make it true. 🙂

Pepe LeFrits

Well you'd have to assume that most people wouldn't want to be considered a racist. Doesn't mean there are aren't mentalists out there who don't care though!

Rex

They are racists. 🙂
IMO there are two sorts of cunts;

Ordinary cunt.
Racist cunt.

For me, Suarez is in category 2, the so called über cunt category.

And I´d like to point out that I don´t call someone a cunt at all on a wim! You´d have to be really vile to qualify at all for me!
