go read the statement, the charge is ridiculous. Suarez is not a racist.
He has therefore brought our club into disrepute and I am disgusted by all you Liverpool fans still backing the guy and claiming he is not racist.

At last, well said
Good post OP. Bringing race into a comment on the pitch is not on.
I never claimed he is racist got better, I'm instead stating that at the end of the day the clubs image has been hurt and no one is bigger than the club. Nevertheless we will move on.

We all know a certain Luis Alberto Suárez - 23million of dosh well spent.

Liverpool fans are backing him and so are the club, read the club statement!
A disgrace how the FA can make a decision based on the word of a player alone, a player who has already been infront of the FA and his account judged "exaggerated and unreliable".
It seems like they didn't look at the evidence but instead wanted to prove that they are tackling racism. A disappointing day for the club but one we'll recover from.
Thing is, he's not a racist, even I know that, Patrice Evra knows that. He used racial abuse which is totally different to being a full on racist.
I'm hating seeing everyone call Suarez a racist because it is not justified. He used racial abuse people, there is a difference!
However the FA has found proof he has used racial abuse on the Football pitch, we can only assume to wind up another player.
This is a disgraceful act, no professional should do it, and for fans to now be defending Suarez for doing that is just as disgraceful as what Suarez has done.
Fans are still jumping on Evra's back, calling him a disgrace too, for what? Reporting racial abuse? H'es innocent in all of this.
At the end of the day, the Football association has found proof of Suarez actions and have rightly dealt with it, all fans should stop defending Suarez for aiming racial abuse at another player, it's shocking.
yet again, there is nothing inherently racist about the word negro. it can be used in a racist context as it can be used in a non-racist way. some people identify themselves with the term negro. are they somehow racist self-haters? martin luther king famously referred to it in his speech. some prefer black, some prefer coloured. there is no right or wrong, it is all about context.
if, and this is a big if, the ruling was based on the evidence already released in the media i would expect the club to fight this all the way to the court of sports arbitration. if there is other evidence then the fa should release it as soon as possible.
Sorry, but Liverpool fans who say they are proud of Suarez are imbeciles.
Lads don't fall for it. He's not a Liverpool fan. Don'tlet him wind you in.
Nothing racist about the word Negro ? walk round brixton , toxteth moss side & call the first person you see negro & see how they react.
Bubbly'
Until the Fergie association come out with the so called evidence, I, for not one moment believe he has used racist abuse.
They have gone on Evras word alone (or should that be cry wolf)
It is disgusting.

Let's wait until we see their reasons for finding him guilty. There must be more than just Evras word.
But even so There'sOnlyOneReds - he's right in saying that some Liverpool fans are naive to think that Suarez is not guilty. He may not be yet, but those who just assume he's innocent are naive to say the least.
I am fully behind the club statement released on the website and suarez still has my unwavering support.

old argument that doesn't wash. you automatically assume it would be used in an offensive way. walk around anywhere with a concentration of young men regardless of ethnicity and call them something and see how they react.

and liverpool fans that arent proud of suarez are just plain (expletive)
the more that goes on with him, the more i love him.
the more he gets abused and (wrongly) slaughtered, the more i will respect him, because he gets better under it.
That takes cojones. unlike cowards like you that hide behind the whole PC thing, because you are too afraid of being called a racist/sexist/ageist etc etc.

-----------------------
Evra has never claimed racial abuse had been aimed at him before. Get your facts straight.
I really can't stand Suarez: the way he flings himself to the ground, contorting his body like Houdini and snarling at the officials for refusing to indulge in his theatrics, is difficult to watch.
However, this punishment is farcical. The whole prosecution has hinged on the word one man - Patrick Evra, who has garnered a reputation as a boy who cries wolf. It appears that no other player on that pitch was able to give any good evidence to back Evra's claims, yet the FA still took Evra's word over Suarez's. Why? Because they need to be seen to be acting against 'racism' so as to reinforce their criticism of Sepp Blatter.
Meanwhile, John Terry's case (which seems to have far more incriminating evidence against him) seems to have faded away...
Unlike you, dear friend, who has obviously heard each and every piece of evidence, I await to hear the reason for decision by the enquiry team. Until then, I will support our player. And, no, I'm not racist either. Neither am I holier-than-thou either. I'm a fan who doesn't believe that Luis Suarez is racist. JimmyTheRed
PS Well said Fred. Luis has my support until I am satisfied, by credible evidence, that he is guilty of the alleged crime. JimmyTheRed
hilarious he has been found guilty , live with it , not cause of Evra or any other reason than the FA had proof he was guilty. You cant seriously believe he was convicted solely on Evra's say so !!!

Show me one piece of evidence of Evra 'crying wolf'. Just one piece of evidence is all I ask. One direct quote from Evra.
