CPS to announce after 1pm apparently. Just because the CPS don't press on doesn't mean anything for the FA charge.

Of course it will, do you honestly believe that the FA will go against the law of the land and deem there is a case to answer when the cops say there isn't? Im sure Chelsea/Terry legal team would have a field day with that.

The Terry case is relevant if only to highlight the inconsistency by the FA in all of this.

It happens all the time. The law of the land differs from employment law for example. If you stole at work you effectively have to prove your innocence where as  law has to prove your guilt.

Take the Suarez case, the CPS would probably through that out too as it's effectively one persons word against the other.

Exactly and why did the FA chose to go down one route for Terry and a different one for Suarez?

Its good to see the players at least have moved on. 

Keep that Terry shite out of this thread please

just one more - rumour has it that e CPS are going to annouce that there is "insufficient evidence" in Terrys case.

Id laugh if only it wasnt so f**king wrong. Played out exactly as I thought it would, passed to the cops and the cops dont do anything so how can the FA.

Are these people slating Suarez (just because they can) and saying Liverpool fans shouldn't defend him the same ones who defended Rio re his 'drugs test'. If the player played for the club you support you would defend them too, simple as.

Only if you are simple.

[The fact is this was a case of one player's word against another's. Remarkably, the three-man panel decided that Evra was the more reliable witness.]

Where is that from?

Except all reports suggest that Suarez himself admitted using the 'word' as part of his initial response....and if that is the case how the f**k can they still be spouting this line about one players word against the other.?

I sincerely doubt it.Why do you ask?are you not a man utd fan?you are obvoiously delighted with this decision

Which bit of it are you disappointed with?

I wonder what he will get for flicking the finger at Fulham fans last week? or is that cultural too? 

(personally I hope he gets nothing, if fans want to give it out they cant complain if they get some back)

[He obviously feels whatever he said was not racist and Evra has obviously interpreted it as being racist.]

Suarez admitted using the term "Negretto" and Terry has admitted using the term Black  "****"

Before ever man and his do in Livepool and London jump to theri defence and wheel out celebs left right and centre to make stements about neitherr being a racist, the FA do not charge anyone with being a racist.   

The charge is using racist or offensive language and it's pretty clear he did not call him Negretto as a term of endearment.   He used it to insult Evrea and is therfore guilty and so is Terry. 

Both should accept it, apologise and move on

Will Evra apologise considering the abuse he was dishing out?

And again "negrito" if Suarez did say it is not necessarily a term of racist abuse. If Suarez meant to racially abuse Evra why would he even admit saying anything? All he had to do was deny everything. He obviously feels whatever he said was not racist and Evra has obviously interpreted it as being racist.

Either way until the actual details come out from the FA hearing we're all just guessing.

shocking isnt it, a black man repeatedly being called negrito interpreting it as rascist.
Whoda thunk it

[The Independent Regulatory Commission will provide written reasons for its decision in due course setting out:(a) the findings of fact made by it;(b) the reasons for its decision finding the charge proved; and(c) the reasons for the penalty.]

An Independent Regulatory Commission has today [Tuesday 20 December 2011] found a charge of misconduct against Luis Suarez proven, and have issued a suspension for a period of eight matches as well as fining him £40,000, pending appeal.

On 16 November 2011, The Football Association charged Luis Suarez with misconduct contrary to FA Rule E3 in relation to the Liverpool FC versus Manchester United FC fixture on 15 October 2011.

A hearing took place from 14-20 December 2011 before an Independent Regulatory Commission of The FA to consider the charge.

The Independent Regulatory Commission announced its decision on 20 December 2011, which is as follows:

    Mr Suarez used insulting words towards Mr Evra during the match contrary to FA Rule E3(1);
    the insulting words used by Mr Suarez included a reference to Mr Evra's colour within the meaning of Rule E3(2);
    Mr Suarez shall be warned as to his future conduct, be suspended for eight matches covering all first team competitive matches and fined the sum of £40,000;
    the [penalty] is suspended pending the outcome of any appeal lodged by Mr Suarez against this decision.

The Independent Regulatory Commission will provide written reasons for its decision in due course setting out:

(a)          the findings of fact made by it;

(b)          the reasons for its decision finding the charge proved; and

(c)           the reasons for the penalty.

Mr Suarez has the right to appeal the decision of the Independent Regulatory Commission to an Appeal Board. An appeal must be lodged within 14 days of the date of the written reasons for the decision.

The penalty is suspended until after the outcome of any appeal, or the time for appealing expires, or should Mr Suarez decide not to appeal. The reason for this is to ensure that the penalty does not take effect before any appeal so that Mr Suarez has an effective right of appeal.

Thiago Alcantra, Barcelona player, referred to his team mates as "Negritos" the other day in a tweet.

How many times?

There is a Hernadez quote out there as well, where he uses it in Mexico.

Isn't it established that Suarez himself admitted using the word 'Negrito'?

Yeah, that's what I thought and what I was referring to too.

So Tony is in fact talking Baloney.

There is a distinct lack of "repulsion" among liverpool fans (here and beyond) at the use of that phrase, which is as alarming as any of the rest of the reactions.

Its probably a conspiracy by Bernstein to get city back to wembley, Rooney last year, Suarez this year.

Isn't it established that Suarez himself admitted using the word 'Negrito'?

compare and contrast

    1960: David Layne, Peter Swan and Tony Kay (life bans for betting on their team to lose, later reduced to 7 years)
    1988: Paul Davis (9 matches for punching opponent)
    1995: Eric Cantona (9 months for attacking supporter)
    1998: Paolo di Canio (11 matches for pushing referee)
    2003: Mark Bosnich (9 months for failed drugs test)
    2003: Rio Ferdinand (8 months for failing to take drugs test)
    2005: David Prutton (10 matches for pushing referee)

A proven fantasist?   

Your guess is as good.as mine.  No consistency.
