Suarez vs Evra - By Daniel Racheter


Now I know this a story that everyone is proberly sick of hearing and I know everyone is so quick to jump at Suarez and call him a racist but that is too predictable of us all. With no proof that Suarez racially abused Evra that makes someone innocent until proven guilty.


The FA simply went on the word of Evra that Suarez racially abused him. The FA wanted to make an example of Suarez by giving him the most unfair punishment to make a point.


John Terry vs Anton Ferdinand


Now this is a completely different situation, John Terry racially abused Ferdinand and it is proven by a video during the match with Queens Park Rangers, sky sports even covered his mouth on the news where it is quite clear what he is saying. Yet... the FA don't suspend him for 8 games.


It wouldn't be the first time that Patrice Evra has cried racist at someone. A similiar incident at Stamford Bridge a few years back resulting in Evra making a complaint against stewards after the game with Chelsea, with little proof the case went nowhere and the FA even claimed Evra made a thing out of nothing and was being dramatic.


Obviously this is just my opinion but why would Suarez racially abuse Evra infront of his Liverpool team mates of whom some are black?. Surely nobody would be as stupid to racially abuse someone when most of their team is black?. With simply no proof how could the FA give such a rediculous ban and a fine to Suarez?.


Old Trafford - Evra vs Suarez


We all know what happened at Old Trafford and once again the british public was quick to jump to how much of a bad example Luis Suarez is but when you look at the smaller details like Glen Johnson did then you start to realise exactly what did happen during the pre match handshakes.


Glen Johnson has been right by Suarez throughout the whole racist rowl with Evra and seemingly so as he does spend everyday with Suarez training and being part of the same team as him? so surely Glen knows what Suarez is about.


Evra knew what he was doing at Old Trafford, he had his hand by his side making it look like he wasn't going to shake Suarez's hand.. Suarez missed him and continued but Evra waits for Suarez to go past, grabs his arm and makes an example of Suarez (set up). Glen Johnson was spot on here with what he said and I don't think he was the first and only one to notice what Evra did.


Suarez was actually professional through the whole match, he played a good game, he scored and he lost and he still walked off the pitch and held his head high even with Evra winding him up right by his side. Evra is the one who is a disgrace. Taunting the fans? now that is a disgrace Alex Ferguson.


I know all United fans will be reading this and rightly so you will disagree to all of it but of course you will, you stand by the team you support and I respect that because I would do the same.. and I am.


Suarez maybe a heated individual but maybe when he loses his temper on the pitch it's because of his ever burning desire to win. Suarez is a winner and he's shown that many of times over his career.


At half time Old Trafford Evra approached Suarez in the tunnel to confront him over the handshake, again.. trying to make an example of Suarez. Gerrard and Co broke it up and Suarez still held his head high, walked into the changing room and kept his head in what was important, the game.


Now Evra can mope over the fact Suarez didn't shake his hand but at the end of the day, he knew what he was doing and if someone wrongly accused you of racism and labelled you something you are not then would you be eager to shake their hand?.


I would like to see you passionate football fans commenting on this article and I even welcome United fans to pass on their views and opinions.

  1. In relation to Terry vs Ferdinand, FA cannot do anything until the legalities have been sorted ( Terry getting charged by police with racist abuse) which has been put back till after the Euros, therefore he cannot get suspended until next season.

    Last statement about Evra is very true, Evra didn't exactly offer his hand to Suarez and was obviously feeling the same way about Suarez as Suarez did about him. Evra could not say that Suarez is not racist if says in his statement to the FA that he Suarez called him a "Negro" or what ever Evra accused him of.
