I mean in relation to Evra.

--------------

You mean what in relation to Evra?
-------------------------------
Let's start again Ripley as you seem to be annoying me now.

I don't think Suarez wanted to apologise in relation to refusing to shake Evra's hand. The club forced him to and probably told him what to say, therefore I doubt he meant any of it or even was sorry at all.

I'm sure there was some form of guilt when thinking of the harm he'd caused the club and Kenny when Kenny had suggested beforehand that Suarez would shake Evra's hand but then this didn't materialise.

This wasn't a severe case?
----------------------------------------

Yes of course it was. Which is why they decided to use the insulting rule to also hit Suarez with the reference to skin colour bit.
------------------------------------
So why didn't they punish Evra for abusing Suarez?

It could be if you said it in a certain way and sneered. Quite easily.

But he did abuse Suarez. If Suarez received a four game ban for abuse, then why didn't Evra, when actually he admitted to abusing Suarez and there was no evidence that Suarez abused Evra?

Could it be that the FA were trying to take the moral high ground with FIFA after recent events between them and wanted to be seen as tough on racism? Therefore decided to ban Suarez and let Evra off?

-----------------------------------------------

I think that in order to charge him for the reference to skin colour they have to first charge him for the abuse bit.

As Evra didnt reference skin colour they didnt think that the abuse was serious enough on its own to warrant charging him. Had Evra mentioned skin colour then they would have charged him with both also.

---------------------------------

Suarez admitted it from his own mouth. What more do you want? They said he wasnt racist. However, he referenced Evra's skin. So he was guilty. Whether he meant to use it as an insult is debatable - but he was guilty of the charges brought against him.

That's not true. They charged him secondly with abusing him in relation to abuse. Firstly for abuse. Again I ask, why wasn't Evra charged with this first rule?

No. Suarez did not admit to racially abusing Evra. He admitted to asking, "why, black?" which is not even abuse as there is no derogative used, nevermind racist abuse.

Do you have information that proves this? It is something that I have tried and failed to clarify myself. A link would be good if you have one?

in a court of a law, he would not have been found guilty!!

this was merely a kangaroo court for scoring points.

it's in your post where you posted two charges. One relating to abuse and one relating to racist abuse.

Where did I say that he admitted to racially abusing Evra? I said that he admitted to referencing his skin colour.

So why was Suarez charged with racist abuse and not with referencing skin colour?

Evra came out of this whole saga looking the more professional and civil.... Having read the surez judgement statement time and time again, i still dont think surez was guilty....never an intent there...... however, abit childish not to shake his hand

---------------------------------------------

Well that doesnt clarify it for me. The two charges are part of the same rule . Which is why I believe (but arent sure) that in order to have access to the second part of the rule, they must first charge the player with the first part.
