... and apparently to also vote Gerrard as the greatest player in PL history.

Agree Klaus, that statement is the most amateur and classless thing I think I've ever read. What an absolute bunch of C U Next Tuesdays they really are. πŸ˜†

But he's mixed race, invisible! How can he have said something racist to Evra when he's not even white? πŸ˜†

It's so fucking stupid that they too should get a ban for it.

Marvellously mealy-mouthed unpology. Stay classy!

Great! Now we have a chance to seal up fourth place before he's back in action.

I've fixed FA Rule E.3 so that these things won't happen again in the future:

(1) A Participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not
act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any
one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive,
indecent or insulting words or behaviour.

(2) In the event of any breach of Rule E 3(1) including a reference to any one or more
of a person’s ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, faith, gender, sexual orientation
or disability (an β€œaggravating factor”), a Regulatory Commission shall consider
the imposition of an increased sanction [...]

b No breach of this provision shall occur in the event that the conduct referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) is directed at Patrice Evra, who is an utter cunt anyway. [/b]

Terry set to face criminal charges for racial abuse.

Looking at the statement, it sounds like a section 5 offence which is punishable by a fine. Don't know what the implications would be for any FA disciplinary action but, if he were found guilty, presumably he would be looking at eight games minimum given the Suarez decision.

But John terry rhymes with chuck berry. How can he be racist?

Not just the players.

Liverpool fans and players are assholes. What happened to that one gk that yawned or laughed or did something stupid during the one minute silence for something (i honestly can't remember)? All the fans and players were blasting him and calling for his head like he was the devil.

Suarez says racist stuff (doesn't matter to who) and all of a sudden he's the innocent angel sent from above. He's a racist who deserves to be banned for more than 8 games. The fans should be pissed off at him and hate him but they just carry along like nothing happened. John Terry should get more games too. The Liverpool players warming up in Suarez's shirt really is cringe-worthy

How embarrassing is that. Jesus wept.

What a classless club. Forever the victims.

Dalglish's position and comments through out this have been bewlidering. Liverpool's various defences of Suarez are stupid and they contradict each other! How is Evra lying if you claimed last week it was all just a cultural misunderstanding (which I don't even think they can believe)?! Ridiculous.

Is Suarez wearing a t shirt in support of himself? πŸ˜†

Liverpool are going to appeal and the FA have said that the ban may be extended should the appeal fail.

Not just Liverpool, Gus Poyet and Uruguayan FA constantly go about Suarez not being a 'racist' proving that they miss the point entirely. He's been charged with using racially pejorative language.

It will be cut in half after the appeal surely won't it?

Why do you think? He's got the Fulham fans incident to deal with too, should only get worse...

Because shortening these sort of fans on appeal is the usual for the FA.

I actually think LFC's reputation has taken a bigger dip than Suarez's reputation from all this.

That strange club statement yesterday, tweets from Dalglish, and their manager is actually wearing one of those ridiculous T-shirts! πŸ˜†

It's embarassing.

Redcafe are having a field day with this. πŸ˜†

Sending those to my Liverpool supporting mates right now!

Indeed. They usually make them seem unexpectedly long on the assumpetion they will be appealed and shortened. Wouldn't expect it to end up being more than 4 or 5 games in this case.

Not for offences are serious as this one though. There's very little precedent for this, particularly since everyone outside of Liverpool agree with the ban and the FA spearhead the Kick It Out campaign.

In case anyone needs any reminding what a bunch of sanctimonious wankers these fans are:

Scousers are so boring.

That little commentary at the end is funny.

Liverpool FC taking credit for the Beatles? :hmm:

Talk about a storm in a tea cup. He obviously meant no offence as evidenced by the fact that he used the word as part of a sentence chastising racism in football and calling for the status quo to be improved on further. The bloke at the end of the video sounds like a diiiiickhead, too.

I made it to a minute in before the urge to vomit started to become too much.

How can you not want Liverpool to fall out of existence after watching that? πŸ˜†

What embarrassment of a club.

An ITK on Rawk posted long before yesterday's game that the team were going to wear Suarez T-shits. Cue Liverpool fans pumping their chests, "I could cry," YNWA stuff. Then one poster actually posted this as a serious suggestion.

i have a very efective idea can someone pass it to those in the know. ITK!!!

just before kick off when the cameras are on, the team forms a circle chain chanting very loudly, "NEGRITO! NEGRITO! NEGRITO!

Then in the midddle out pops a smiling glen johnson pulling up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt of suarez with a text saying. "OUR SUAREZ IS A FRIEND TO ALL COLOURS!"

this all ends with a loud "we willl never walk alone!" war cry from all the players1

πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
I could not stop laughing.

How could a fan be so stupid. To be fair, most of the responses were pretty hillarious mocking the guy for posting it. And that mocking was just about the only bit of sanity I've seen from Liverpool fans over the past 24 hours.

He's now apologized.
Dixon's reaction really says it all though.

Tbf thats how people who weren't racists talked in the old days, he's just from another era.
