I didn't realise Big Man is actually facing a criminal charge.

Lock him up and throw away the key!

Evra admitting to using aggressive words might've actually worked against Suarez because it suggests - as we all might suspect - that the conversation was an aggressive one. So for all the talk of 'negrito' is a friendly term in South America, it's at odds with what seemed to have happened. And besides - the term doesn't need to be derogatory in itself for the same reason 'black' in 'black cunt' isn't, in itself, derogatory but the whole term is still a racist insult. The commission found that Suarez referenced Evra's skin colour as part of an insult - which for our purposes is a racist insult. Personally, I think 'Negrito' sounds as much like 'nigger' as it does 'negro' (or at least it contains the former when sounded out). If Suarez admitted to 'I didn't say Nigger/Negro, I said 'Negrito'' I think it's almost as weak a defence as Terry's. But he pleaded not guilty to the charge and if he didn't admit to saying anything like that, then the evidence would have to be very good to prove it.

Yeah, it's all very pedantic and wishy washy. Which is why I'm sitting on the fence until the report comes out. If it is based on the whole negrito thing then we should just get on with it and move on. The Terry thing will soon overtake Suarez in peoples' minds. It probably already has.

BBC have said the most he can get is a £2500 fine so it would be down to the FA to bring any real punishment against him.

Well if the police find him guilty then The FA will surely need to dish out another 8 game ban.

You'd hope.

Oh God, rumours that the team will all wear Suarez shirts before the game. Please no.

Poyet's 2 cents...

"I have tried to explain that we live with coloured people in Uruguay. We share different experiences with them. We play football, we share parties. We are born, we grow up and we die with them. We call them 'blacks' in a natural way, even in an affectionate way. That is the way we were brought up. We are integrated and there are no problems from either side.

That's very RAWKish.

So was last night's statement.

Relying on a racist is pretty desperate. They should become like us and rely on a rapist.
