Sports Forum - RE: Suarez 8 match ban for racism... - Page 4

I read today that the precedent for Suarez suspension was Stephen Carr in April 2010.

Were the other incidents before then? Had a quick google looking, but couldn't see. Fair play though most Liverpool fans on forums are quite happy with ban because of stupidity but want the consistency that all other incidents are now treated equally.

With also Wolves being charged for failing to control their players after red card against Arsenal for starters.

Hmm I saw the Wolves match, it got heated towards the end but I'm not quite sure it was worth a charge.

I guess the whole consistency thing should be looked at "from now on", the question being how many of those do you give the FA.

Some **banned-url*** in the stands at Anfield has apparently shouted "negro" at Adeyemi (mate is watching on a stream and that's what he reckons it's just hit twitter etc).

Adeyemi was crying and Gerrard had to console him.

Should just be the fan that is found and shown to be the prick that he is, but unfortunately the club is massively going to take the brunt for the way they have handled the whole situation and been addmanent that Suarez has done nothing wrong and made it an "us vs them" issue.



Edit- Confirmed Adeyemi has made an official complaint to Merseyside police about racist abuse from a fan tonight.

Media frenzy is going to ensue.

See Mills this is the problem with blaming clubs for mindless muppets going ott although I do think Liverpool have been absolutely reprehensible in how they have handled this whole situation. Ban the fan for life, as for the lad, i do think crying is a wee bit ott as i am sure they hear stuff every game whether it is scottish this, black that, ginger the other catholic, jewish...but thats another thread I think

Actually whilst I only get to go to a handful of games a year, I never hear any of that at the Emirates. I do hear a fair bit of swearing though.

Having said that, I think at the Fulham game I heard the away Arsenal fans singing, "We've got a big ****ing German." But then they do seem to be used to irony, what with, "One Song, we've only got one Song" being a regular.
