Suarez racial slur against Evra

[Blue Haze]

However, after the claims and the ensuing furore:

Suarez denied any abuse and fought to clear his name.
Sky Sports found no footage that supports Evra.
It emerged that referee Andre Marriner did not hear any of the alleged 10 racist comments.
While supporting their player, United are leaving the matter to the France left back.

I was initially angry at Suarez because of his general cuntishness, but then read this in the Mail.

If Evra made this up, he should serve a lengthy ban of at least 8 games. Racism is a serious issue. Accusing someone of racism is a serious charge.

The allegation is that the N word was used at least 10 times during the game, no idea if it can be proven but if it can then a very long ban would be expected

It's not necessarily the n word is it? Has that been stated? I know evra said he used a certain comment at least 10 times but could it be "black" or "French" or is it deffo the n word?

Evra has history in claiming racial abuse. There was an incident with Liverpool's Steve Finnan a few years ago when no further action was taken. Then there was the post-match incident at Chelsea in 2008 when he accused a Chelsea Groundsman of racial abuse. The groundsman was cleared.

He also claimed he was subject to racial abuse from fans in his native Senegal over his decision to represent France instead of his country of birth. Sopunds like the boy who cries wolf.

Firstly, it wasn't Evra that actually claimed abuse against Steve Finnan.

Secondly, he was backed up by others including our assistant manager, and our then goalkeeping coach against the Chelsea groundsman, but it's obviously just incredibly hard to prove.

Wasn't hard to prove that Evra acted like a dick at Chelsea though was it? He got a 4-match ban for his actions. And, as we and the rest of the football world know, your officials always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

In the case with involving Chelsea groundsman, Tony Bethell, it was Mike Phelan and Richard Hartis of Manchester United’s coaching staff who claimed they heard the abuse. As the FA report says “The two witnesses who say they heard those words directed by Mr Bethell at Mr Evra are the Manchester United first team coach Mr Mike Phelan and the goalkeeping coach Mr Richard Hartis.” It later goes on to say “Even if we disregard the fact that Mr Evra has never claimed to have heard such a remark on that day, it is notable that there were several other people far nearer to Mr Bethell at the critical point in time than were either Mr Phelan or Mr Hartis.”

So Evra didn't accuse the Chelsea groundsman of making a racist remark either. Another of your little myths debunked.
