In the context of a spanish conversation in which it is not offensive yes. As an abusive term or in English- God no.

[strummer77]

What about when speaking to a black frenchman who finds that word offensive?

You've been trolling with shitty one line comments all the time.

I'll piss in the face of judgements all I like. I haven't pissed in the face of any 'facts'. There is no proof hence Liverpool's distrust of the judgement.

The crux is Liverpool disagree with Evra's account- hence no fine/the backing. However they have accepted the ban.

Suarez isn't going to say the word again though so surely we should just move on even if you feel he's guilty? Serve his punishment then move on. As we do.

[strummer77]

How do you know Suarez isn't going to say the word again when he and LFC say he has done nothing wrong?

[Kowalski]

I don't know if anyone saw Reina's howler for the first goal tonight but Liverpool FC have released a statement to say that they'll accept the goal but Reina didn't make a mistake.

[Kowalski]

If you're satisfied with the report, that's what it says. If you're not, then fair enough.

[strummer77]

I'm not wholly satisfied, he should have been banned for more games IMHO and forced to do some work with the community.

And it's very worrying that people who are disagreeing with those who are defending Suarez are being branded as trolls. Very worrying.

Also what everyone is failing to grasp is that those defending him not are not defending what he allegedly said- that would be mental, we just doubt he actually said it. Can't see how that is very worrying.

[Ed209]

Also what everyone is failing to grasp is that those defending him not are not defending what he allegedly said- that would be mental, we just have club loyalties to follow so won't believe he actually said it.

[Stash]

Even though he admitted it?

Anyone fancy discussing football?? After a couple of dodgy games recently a 3-0 win for city is huge. Spurs also keep winning the games they should win and if they win their game in hand could be out of reach for liverpool, arsenal and chelsea. Also its hard to deny sunderland made the right decision trading bruce for o neil!

[Ed209]

You're wrong. I will categorically state now if video evidence comes out of him saying everything that matches Evra's account, he should get 8 games if not a lot more. I like proof that's all.

[metallimuse]

Has anything come out about a Spurs fan dying at the game tonight?My mate who's a season ticket holder was there and saw it happen afew rows away from him,just seen it on his Twitter.

EDIT: Forgot to say it was a heart attack not a violent crime or anything.

Ita not the circumstamces you would want it to happen but after playing all the way through both the world cup and copa america in the last 2 years, if there is any player in the premiership who really needs a month off its suarez.

[TheGayTent]

That Reina is such as solid goalkeeper...

LFC statement: http://www.liverpool...om-liverpool-fc

Don't see the logic in that, if he's innocent appeal, if not don't

the appeal process that's open to them thru the FA only allows them to appeal the punishment but not the guilty verdict.

If they wanted to appeal the verdict they'd have to take it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which would escalate things further.

From where things are right now I reckon they've made the right decision.

[eFestivals]

Liverpool FC club statement is a joke...

I really have an intense dislike for Liverpool FC now and they way they handled all this...

Why is it a joke? They're allowed to maintain he's innocent, if that's what they wish to do (and I'd hope they're doing that because that's what they honestly believe is the case).

I know you're someone who thinks the law should always be respected, but please do tell me how much respect you'd have for it if it found you guilty of an offence that you believed yourself innocent of. ... oh, I forget, any law is so perfect that you could neverr even be falsely accused.

However much you might feel the law should be respected, it's beyond all doubt that the law and similar processes get things wrong at times - and while I don't personally feel the verdict here is wrong (based on the little I've read), what you or I think means nothing towards the truth of things. Suarez knows in his heart whether he's guilty or not, and him and Evra are the only ones who can ever know the real truth of the matter.

[eFestivals]

I dont disagree, but its not been unheard of for clubs to use the appeal process to delay suspensions to a more favourable time.

I've gotta say I'm very surprised of the timing of their acceptance. I'd have expected them to have waited until after last night's match at least.

So I'm guessing that the timing of their acceptance has still been done with an eye on the fixtures, but using a different basis for that than I'd used in expecting them to wait till after last night's match. Perhaps Liverpool had evaluated that they were likely to drop points last night anyway even if Suarez had played, and that by being banned for that one he'll be free to play in another match where his presence (against his absence) will have them collect points they might not otherwise get.
