While I obviously want to support one of our players, and while I don't know, I expect he probably did say something. Maybe that something is considered acceptable where he is from, he probably didn't mean it in a malicious way, at worst to wind up Evra (not justifying, just trying to empathise). But at the same time, we have standards in this country, and in any other public position, he would have been thrown out by now.
Liverpool will appeal, and the ban will probably get reduced, and in 6 months time everyone will have forgotten about it, but something about the whole thing leaves me with a nasty taste in my mouth, either my club is putting winning above what should be ethically right, or someone is cheating in an awful way. Neither should be the case.

Arf - looks like they've taken it down, never mind....
Liverpool Football Club is very surprised and disappointed with the decision of the Football Association Commission to find Luis Suarez guilty of the charges against him.
We look forward to the publication of the Commission's Judgment. We will study the detailed reasons of the Commission once they become available, but reserve our right to appeal or take any other course of action we feel appropriate with regards to this situation.
We find it extraordinary that Luis can be found guilty on the word of Patrice Evra alone when no-one else on the field of play - including Evra's own Manchester United teammates and all the match officials - heard the alleged conversation between the two players in a crowded Kop goalmouth while a corner kick was about to be taken.
The Club takes extremely seriously the fight against all forms of discrimination and has a long and successful track record in work relating to anti-racist activity and social inclusion. We remain committed to this ideal and equality for all, irrespective of a person's background.
LFC considers racism in any form to be unacceptable - without compromise. It is our strong held belief, having gone over the facts of the case, that Luis Suarez did not commit any racist act. It is also our opinion that the accusation by this particular player was not credible - certainly no more credible than his prior unfounded accusations.
It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.
Luis himself is of a mixed race family background as his grandfather was black. He has been personally involved since the 2010 World Cup in a charitable project which uses sport to encourage solidarity amongst people of different backgrounds with the central theme that the colour of a person's skin does not matter; they can all play together as a team.
He has played with black players and mixed with their families whilst with the Uruguay national side and was Captain at Ajax Amsterdam of a team with a proud multi-cultural profile, many of whom became good friends.
It seems incredible to us that a player of mixed heritage should be accused and found guilty in the way he has based on the evidence presented. We do not recognise the way in which Luis Suarez has been characterised.
It appears to us that the FA were determined to bring charges against Luis Suarez, even before interviewing him at the beginning of November. Nothing we have heard in the course of the hearing has changed our view that Luis Suarez is innocent of the charges brought against him and we will provide Luis with whatever support he now needs to clear his name.
We would also like to know when the FA intend to charge Patrice Evra with making abusive remarks to an opponent after he admitted himself in his evidence to insulting Luis Suarez in Spanish in the most objectionable of terms. Luis, to his credit, actually told the FA he had not heard the insult.

Nice to see it causing so much glee.
Once the spectacles come off and everyone has calmed down, it should be prety clear that this is a massive over reaction by the FA in the wake of what Sepp Blatter said. Suarez is clearly being made a scapegoat. Liverpool will appeal and they will win the appeal and it will be reduced to a 3 or 4 match ban.The FA are just pushing their weight around and paving the way for JT to be found not guilty. If he is guilty, which obviously is disgraceful, what do LFC do about it. Do they stand by their oplayer as Arsene Wegner does by bury their heads in the sand or do they forgive and forget, try to educate their players that this is not acceptable and move on? Yes, but to publicly crucify him is not going to happen. -
Seems a little harsh as you get less than that for ending someones career with a leg breaker.
It's absolutely extraordinary.

Although LFC statement is a little disingenuous:
"Luis Suarez did not commit any racist act. It is also our opinion that the accusation by this particular player was not credible - certainly no more credible than his prior unfounded accusations.
It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist."
You can make a racist statement without holding firm racist views.
The rest of the statement amounts to "he's not a racist, some of his best mates are black".

Fuck me, gone into meltdown on RAWK!

I think it's a bit harsh TBF, he can't be racist as some of his team mates are Negros and he was even seen popping out for Jerk Chicken last Tuesday
