Suarez gets 8 match ban

[sleaterkinney]

Why would they want a matter to rest when they consider that matter to be "an accusation that was ultimately unsubstantiated."?

Perhaps they don't want to extend the circus that's been going on for the past few months?

The cirucs? Like wearing fucking stupid t-shirts during warm up, that circus? Or perhaps ignoring the stories told by their own man Comolli and the utter inconsistency of Suarez evidence? Or is the 'circus' you refer to the rather laborious process of finding that Suarez did make racist remarks to Evra? Which 'circus' are you referring to?

 

[Wilf]

Now that's all cleared up, what are the FA going to do about clearing up misogyny from the game. You bunch of conchas de tus hermanas?

In the future all visiting Saudi teams will be driven round by female drivers. If they refuse, they'll be pinched within an inch of their lives (but in a friendly way).

None of those things could be described as a circus. No idea what you're on about.

By the way, previously Suarez admits he refers to Johnson as 'negro'. I assume this is in training and if he continues to do it neither Johnson nor LFC have told him it's unacceptable?! Paints a rather appalling picture frankly.....

Do you think he means it as racist abuse?

 

[Kanda]

It doesn't matter if he does!!!! Geezus!

 

[sleaterkinney]

It doesn't matter if he does!!!! Geezus!

Of course it matters!.

 

[Kanda]

So it's ok to go round calling people negro or nigger or paki.. As long as its not meant in a racist way?

 

[Fedayn]

Do you think he means it as racist abuse?

Fuck me sideways you're a fucking idiot. Even if he didn't do you think it acceptable? Do you thinki LFC might have told him it's not acceptable over here?

 

[strung out]

i regularly go around calling black people darkies, but it's ok, because i only mean it in a friendly way

Of course you pinch them after making that remark in an attempt to diffuse the situation don't you?

 

[sleaterkinney]

Fuck me sideways you're a fucking idiot. Even if he didn't do you think it acceptable? Do you thinki LFC might have told him it's not acceptable over here?

So he doesn't mean it as a term of abuse and it's still not acceptable?

 

[Fedayn]

None of those things could be described as a circus. No idea what you're on about.

You've no fucking idea full stop.

 

[Kanda]

Of course it's not!

Are you trolling or really this fucking thick??

 

[sleaterkinney]

Yeah, but darkie is a term of abuse where you come from (I presume)

 

[Fedayn]

So he doesn't mean it as a term of abuse and it's still not acceptable?

Sweet fucking jesus.......

I'm quoting this in it's full fucking glory for the sheer wonderment of it.....

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I find that statement from Liverpool extraordinary. Either appeal or accept it. A stronger ruling body would be calling them on publicly questioning the partiality of the tribunal. If that's not bringing the game into disrepute I don't know what is. And suarez. He should be forced to go on some pointless course for continuing to dispute it. Idiot.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Sweet fucking jesus.......

No room for context then?.

 

[Kanda]

The 'it's ok to call someone a racist name if you don't mean it as racist abuse' surely deserves a thread of its own!

 

[Kanda]

[London_Calling]

How many times have been around this circle now?

 

[TruXta]

How many times have been around this circle now?

Given we're on 680+ posts now, I'd guess around 100?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

No room for context then?.

What like when in an argument with an opposing player? That kind of context? The context in which he used the word in the match in question? You're all over the place on this.

 

[Fedayn]

Yes, the context is that in this country, as you fucking well know, referring to black people as 'negro' is a bit off, you know, a tad unacceptable. And yet we find he continually used it and LFC seemingly, given no-one has said they told Suarez to desist and Suarez himself doesn't mention this, find this behaviour acceptable.....

No, we've moved on to how he speaks to a team mate in training.

That's probably a very witty reply

 

[Wilf]

No, we've moved on to how he speaks to a team mate in training.

Have you all of a sudden become self aware and ironic? This thread clearly still has potential.

 

[sleaterkinney]

No, the context is team mates on a multicultural training ground.

And yet we find he continually used it and LFC seemingly, given no-one has said they told Suarez to desist and Suarez himself doesn't mention this, find this behaviour acceptable.....

Or maybe they just saw it as not a form of abuse, just something from his culture.
