They base a lot on their perceived credibility of the two players, repeatedly mentioning what a clear witness Evra was, they even mention how he can speak five languages - what the hell has that got to do with his credibility? I watched the you tube footage, especially the arm pinch, and read the player and staff statements, particularly Comolli and Kuyts. In all honesty I think he probably was dishing out some racist abuse at that time, so deserved a ban - it would have been four matches for the 'Because your black' comment. Where they put too much heed in Evras credibility, was for concluding the charges were proven for the other incidences, which could have been completely made up by Evra - that led to a further four match ban.

My opinion, but there you go.

I hope Suarez does just shake Evras hand though, show hes the bigger man, then score a few

I hope Suarez shakes his hand, kisses and hugs him then dry bum fu'cks him in the game

I do hope so as quite frankly its not up there with the best of moments for us and we have admitted as much since. A siege mentailty and backing players is one thing but PR is also a major factor in the modern game and I would assume this has been a lesson learned and furthermore Suarez warned on the discipline side. I know people dont want to hear it but we have to be big enough to admit when things dont go so well.

That's what I've been getting from some supposed Liverpool fans over here. (I added the last 2)

Jesus H Christ.... the mind boggles at how much subtle influence the media and internet can exert over the masses.
Uneffinbelievable.

These aren't fans mate.

More like clueless idiots that don't follow the game and only look at the game report summary on Soccernet every now and then.

They form an "opinion" on the headlines put in front of their beady little eyes.
