I am not here to defend Suarez for being accused of being racist. If there is evidence to say he was directly racist then he deserves a ban. What i am not impressed with is the fact the FA are so inconsitent in their punishments.
Reading's John Mackie admitted to the Football Association he made racist comments following a game against Sheffield United in December.
Mackie's abuse was directed at Carl Asaba during the game.
John Mackie recieved a 3 match ban after stating he had directlty insulted Asaba with a racist comment.
Suarez and Liverpool FC have denied making any racist accusation. No player on the field or the referee heard any racist comment. There was no video evidence either.
Why has Suarez been given an 8 matych ban when Mackie only recived a 3 game ban?
Also why is Suarez inthe dock for giving the finger to Fulham fans yet Rooney and 3 other premier league footballers who were also caught on camer let off the hook?
Double standards is the answer. Blokes in suits who have never kicked a ball in their lives making decisions on a subject that they have no0 idea about.
That is all...
Oh and this discussion is not open to Spurs fans as you are all deluded see i can call names as well. It is easy

Suarez isn't accused of being racist but of using racist language. There's a difference.

Isn't being a racist worse than using a racist word?

Short of wearing a Die Hard 4 sandwich board, you can't prove that someone 'is a racist' without them using 'racist language'

=========================
How do you know there's no video evidence? I think the reason for the greater ban unlike Mackie's is because Mackie admitted it but Suarez is fighting it and his club have come out with a variety of silly statements liek the one las t night, the one calling for evra to be punished for being a victim or racial abuse and the one for wanting a quick decision.

LFC have already said the only evidence offered by the FA was *Evra's!!!

Because they had an expert examine all the video footage and it came up with nothing. This was done before the trial as was the questioning of all the players.
I really don't understand the spurs, Arsenal and Utd fans coming on here and making comment s about a subject they have not done any research on
Bah
Bah
