Luis Suárez and Patrice Evra racism case: FA hearing begins in secrecy

• Case set to last two days, with both players giving evidence

Luis Suárez's disciplinary hearing for allegedly racially abusing Patrice Evra has begun in secrecy, the Guardian can reveal.

The case is expected to last two days, with Suárez and Evra both giving evidence to determine the chain of events that has led to the Liverpool striker facing a long ban if he is found guilty.

Evra claims that Suárez used a racist word "at least ten times" during Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Anfield on 15 October. Suárez denies the allegations and has been given Liverpool's full backing as he tries to overturn a case that threatens to have huge ramifications for the club's season.

The hearing centres on a disputed version of what was said between the two players. Suárez has admitted words were exchanged but the Uruguayan's defence is understood to focus on the nuances of the Spanish language and

cultural differences, arguing that what he said would not be considered offensive for someone of his background in South America.

The complexities of the case have led the FA to look closely at the semantics issue and explain why the case is expected to take longer than usual.

I didn't know he admitted that he actually said something...

He says he called him a "nigereto" (not sure if that is spelt right). He claims that in South America this is not an insult.

[muppet]

His position is untannable.

His position is untannable.

I think it is a black and white case!

[Carmen Stateside]

From Rawk. Especially for all the Haters!

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Well it looks like Carroll is gonna get a good run in the team now.

8 game ban for Suarez is the rumour

[angermanagement]

Rumours floating about that Saurez will be getting an 8 match ban. Hopefully not true but its coming from some ITK.

If true Terry should be getting banned for the rest of the season.

[Denn Forever]

But Terry is the English Centre half so I wouldn't hold my breath.  UEFA can't even enforce their rules for Team England.

[supersub]

Suarez will get punished and Terry won't I can see it now. Complete farce!

Gerrard training on his own in UAE this week due to fly home today! Is a good sign, hopefully be back in the squad soon!

[Bingo]

Seen no sign of this yet on a few LFC sites or twitter.

Will wait and see what the official line is.

[Doogie Browser]

8 games would be crazy, I would be happy with one 

[Geoff Tipps]

Apparently a verdict is due around 4 or thereabouts.
Can't imagine the 8 game rumour ban is true (I see it's gone up to 10 now on Twitter!)

[Bingo]

Rumour seems to be coming from word of mouth round liverpool ie Everton Taxi drivers.

That's a tautology if ever there was one
