A very good article in today's Times. In effect it says, and I now struggle to challenge it, that the matter should have been handled differently. A statement, by the club, along the lines of, " Patrice Evra has alleged Luis made a racist remark, Luis denies it, but realises that what he said may well have been taken out of context, the words having been spoken in his Latin- American Spanish, and absolutely no racial slur intended. On reflection, he apologises unreservedly for any upset caused, he is very anti-racist, and the club will ensure that it's players are advised accordingly as to what is acceptable and not acceptable when a LFC player makes any comment in the public domain" if that is Luis'/Kenny's/team mates/club stance, any way of getting this behind us. With an apology such as this, credit, in the form of the punishment being suspended in some form or other, might be the way of putting this behind us and getting on with the game.
I know some if not many will disagree but, it's a way forward people. I personally think it's like a wet blanket hanging over the team. I'm not blaiming it for yesterday's performance, full marks to Black burn, we were dire.
Comments?

we should have just accepted it for what it was, evra goading an opponent waiting for a reaction, he should have smacked him in the mouth and got a three match ban, as now we are in limbo, suarez is not sure where he stands and of course evra just sneers at him behind his back

Sorry Truetored, it's in the Times, but I've copied and abbreviated it. I actually think it is affecting the team's performance, AC aside, who with Henderson, is totally devoid of any confidence whatsoever. JimmyTheRed

We have lost Suarez before his ban starts. He is obviously affected by the hatred of many opposition fans. The ban is ridiculous but Luis needs to behave better in future because he is a marked man now.

SAF would not accept an apology. He has been waiting to fluck us over all year since KK came back.
