Evra

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Suarez is an idiot, because he allowed himself to be played by Evra, although Patrice played up his reaction perfectly and dropped and raised his hand with perfect timing.

I can't believe the media and so many black professionals... wait, can I call them that? Even if a person has some African dna, isn't it now racist to refer to someone blacker than yourself as black? Oh no, I did it again!

Where was I?

I can't believe the media and so many black (clearly I'm going to hell) professionals having been duped by this snake Evra.

Yes, I said snake; I mean its not like he's one of those upstanding citizens who doesn't have a long history of snake like behaviour.

I don't trust Evra; not because he is black, not even because he's French, but because he's untrustworthy.

Am I the only person who can see this? x

ah, this is gonna get messy. now now you two, behave.

look, it's good, that a reasonable debate can be had, though i'm at my wits end, with some of the nonsense spouted.
Even people's certain point of view ingrained, surely there comes a part where you say, Agree to disagree, cos all i'm seeing is this going round and round.
Is anyone's original perception changing as a result of this argument.
it doesn't look so to me.....
surely we're into penalties with this....

My opinion on the length of ban has changed as a result of this debate. I now agree that the length of the ban was correct, for the verdict they reached. So I'm sure opinions can be changed as mine have.

That's nonsense. I have afforded you the respect of your opinion and have put my points across, I don't expect to be labelled as someone trying to get a rise from people for it.
----------------------------------------

Im sorry TOOR.

It is how you come across though.

Elvis, I WUMFI'd TOORON yesterday.

Amazes me that you say you know exactly what he's doing, and yet you still play his game?

YOU WILL NEVER GET HIM TO SAY HE IS WRONG!

I don't need him to admit he is wrong. As long as he knows it inside, that is enough for me.

Well that is certainly not my intention and if that's how I've come across I can only apologise. However we both know that this is a very serious topic and this is one I am very passionate about, so I can understand things can get a little heated and in the past I let that get the better of me.

However In recent days I feel I have put my points across and haven't tried to get petty digs in at people when things got heated.

I also hope that you understand that I wholeheartedly feel that Suarez has been wronged and the trial wasn;t a fair one. I have put my points across which I believe evidence that. I don't feel these have been to upset or to "get bites" from people but to try to help people understand from another side of the debate.

But does he ever know?

Could he know?

And surely if he IS going to know, it'd be after the first time someone told him, not the thirtieth?

I work at a multi racial school in South London and the OP is right to describe them as black. When somebody causes problems even the black people say was he black or white? So it is an accepted term. The other names ie coloured, they see that as more of an insult than black
