Suarez gets 8 match ban

[revol68]

I was asking a throwaway question, but I have made my point numerous times all ready, it being, if you use racist language you are a racist.

I think that is stupidly reductionist and as I said serves to make racism about the policing of language and individual sinners transgressions rather than deeper lying social discourses.

And I think that as usual you are over analysing something and talking yourself right up your own arse.

There you go again.

with that damn thinking...

anyway it won't stop me calling Suarez a racist to wind up Liverpool supporters

I will settle for that.

I have a black mate who we all referred to as chink when we were kids, I would not dream of calling him that now even though some people still do and he does not mind, It isn't my place to tell him or you whether to take offence but I think to even use the word chink is racist.

So you used to be a racist?

 

[Deareg]

So you used to be a racist?

Yeah, and you are still an apologist for a racist.

Suarez won't magically become a racist just cos you keep repeating it. No-one agrees with you and you're wrong.

 

[strung out]

is there much of a difference between a racist and someone who behaves like a racist?

Behaves like a racist - lol. It was one comment in the heat of an argument.

 

[strung out]

so it wasn't racist behaviour?

 

[DotCommunist]

seems pretty racist to me

I had to explain this to some unreconstructed apologist in a pub the other night. The closest i cam to getting through to him was saying if I called you something fairly mild like a wanker you could shake it off as a kind of joke if I called you it once. But, if i called you wanker 10 times in the course of the night you'd think there was malice behind it.

I can't believe the shite some people are coming out with.

 

[TruXta]

So now he's got one match and a fine for giving the finger. Fair enough, was a silly thing to do.

Yeah but they all seem to know Suarez personally and I presume, like myself, you've never been out drinking with him so we can't possible comment. Or can we?

But he only gave the finger once.

That seems pretty low. Can't be arsed googling but what did Adebayor get for winding up the north London socialites? And, Rooney?
Not having another pop at Suarez, just curious.

I wasn't gonna say it, but now you brought it up. I don't think he got anything for the celebration, but I'm sure he was banned for stamping RVP in the face. Rooney... which incident are you referring to?

Not sure tbh but there are some precedents. Trying to do some work so sorry for the vagueness/lack of facts.

 

[Big Gunz]

One positive about all this is that I seriously doubt Man C or Chelski will try to poach Suarez, at least until next season anyway.

You've made stupid comments more than 10 times - doesn't mean you are stupid.

Refute it then, because your defence of him makes you sound fucking stupid.

Rooney got three games for swearing into the camera didn't he? Assuming that's the one you mean. Not sure about Adebayor.

Well the whole thread is fucking stupid if you read the OP: "I hope he wins the appeal"

Not sure why I'm getting my hands dirty in this but there is something strange happening on these boards when people WITHOUT SEEING THE EVIDENCE, think they know what happened.

Found it:
"He was awarded a two-game suspended ban for improper conduct, but was banned for three games for violent conduct as he stamped on Robin van Persie’s face in the same game."

TBH I thought the charge against Liverpool for failing to control their players might be more controversial than the Suarez finger one. I don't see anything wrong with it in itself - a couple of players barged into the ref which really shouldn't be on - but the line between acceptable and not seems to be pretty arbitrary. I suppose it's down to whether the ref himself reports it.

Having said that a 20k fine for a club the sizr of Liverpool is peanuts really.

What's wrong with that? An 8 game ban is excessive just for saying something - whatever it is.
