"It's funny how there is very little, if any support for Evra from his fellow professionals. If he was distressed and felt persecuted, as a victim of racism naturally feels, then he needs support now!
It shows that Suarez is far more respected than Evra and speaks volumes about the characters of both! "
"On the behalf of true LFC fans, I say the above also applies for us LFC fans and that Luis Suarez will never walk alone
From what I've seen of his games, in last 12 months, in international games and from his previous clubs, he has never been claimed as racist and so we LFC fans too are wholly in support of Luis
YNWA!"
"Fantastic - now lets put these words into action. Luis needs all our support and understanding at this difficult time. I can't believe that the FA have been so unfair and hope that the club will appeal. YNWA"
"I am livid with the FA and if possible would sue them for slander, libel and defamation of character. Please don't let them get away with this ludacris decision. They are a national disgrace and should be brought to justice."
"On behalf of true LFC fans, I say the above also applies for us LFC fans and that Luis Suarez will never walk alone
From what I've seen of his games, in last 12 months, in international games and from his previous clubs, he has never been claimed as racist and so we LFC fans too are wholly in support of Luis
YNWA!"
"This is why i support Liverpool Football club, they stick together No doubt King Kenny has the club moving in the right direction both on the pitch and off it. Thank you FSG and Mr Comolli your are all great for the club. Steve Clarke was a great signing also. YNWA "
"On behalf of true LFC fans, I say the above also applies for us LFC fans and that Luis Suarez will never walk alone

YNWA!"
"LFC is really going to whole stretch with this one, must be convinced that he is not a racist. The FA just cannot ban a player 8 games for cultural differences; I understand that this is not South America and it is deemed racial abuse for using such words, and for that Suarez should receive some sort of punishment, but 8 games is unbelievable. "
"Not optimistic but hope they reconsider and shorten the ban somewhat, fully behind LFC and Suarez, not because I support the club, but because morally I feel they are in the right."
"Magnificent comments from a magnificent group of people. We are all angered by what has happened to Luis, and we will all support him in whatever way we can. As our anthem says, we will not let one of us walk alone."
"Absolutely fantastic statement,shows unity,support and respect for a fellow teammate.You are at the best club in the world Luis and we support you to the max!YWNEVERWA!"
"Good to see the team backing Luiz. I would like to know what the PFA are doing about this situation i am shure they would have some input in the FA have dealt with this Witch hunt."
"Brilliant show of support from the squad. The FA are corrupt and deable and have just given Suarez this ban to get one over on FIFA. It is appauling that an FA judicial panel can find somebody guilty based on no evidence other than the word of an unreliable source. Justice for Luis! YNWA"
"Well said lads, we walk together in the body of LFC. And we will ensure that King Luis doesn't walk alone. YNWA El Pistolero we are supporting you all the way because what the FA have done is ludicrous. YNWA Luis and In Kenny We Trust!!"
"No other and I'm damn sure non other football club in the whole wide world would do such a thing..this is brilliant..
We never bow down..
Equality for all
#freeourluis"
"Luis Suarez will never walk alone.The whole LFC family supports him. It is not fair to the FA behave towards us. Out of spite, we have to win all the next match. Absolutely stand behind Luis. From Belgrade, SERBIA"
"Luis,we all cannot believe the charges against you have been found proven by the old farts at the F.A.
stay strong please and remember...YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE..
Luis suarez is not a racist....."
"I promise you there is not a single LFC fan who isn't behind you 100%. YNWA. Racism is when you try to wipe out entire civilasations and cultures, and for what, Land, Oil, Precious stone and Metals. The law-makers are racist and yet they have the nerve to call us racist."
"We will tear Wigan apart tonight, this is what I expect! This disgracrful FA verdict has brought the team even closer together and we'll fight as one unit. "
"he will not walk alone.
he will be our friend and mate.
he is a symbol of liverpool.
he represents this legendary club. We are proud. to be luis friends.stop it fa."
"Shocked and appalled at the FA.
Racism is disgusting and those found guilty should been treated harshly. But Suarez clearly had no racist intent and the FA uncovered no evidence to support such a harsh sentence.
YNWA Suarez!"
"YNWA Luis - Fight this all the way Liverpool!! The FA sicken me. Blatanty corrupt... They're only interested in protecting their own players .. John Terry ring any bells? Step in Mr John Henry to show the FA's(Slur Alex Ferguson's cronies) true colours!"
"Regardless of if Suarez reads this or not, I want him to know that even though I speak without the knowledge of everyone else on here, I like to believe we are a family and as family we will never walk alone, that includes you Suarez. We have all got your back and now you will see what support from LFC fans really mean! Remember, when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high! YNWA!"
"great to see all of you backing him, not that i doubted you would. Good win tonight and a couple for Suarez just to sicken the FA. YNWA JFT96 In Kenny We Trust"
"Fully behind Luis Suarez! FA always favour Utd, let's face it. The amount of times I've seen the footage of Suarez talking to Evra that day and tried to see him saying something insulting is unreal, there is nothing to see. There is no evidence, they must be taking Evra's word! Suarez has our full support! "
"Just another reminder why I'm so proud to be a Liverpool supporter. Well said lads and we all support the campaign against racism but as long as idiots like Evra keep pigeonholing themselves as a certain race in the first place, then complaining about it, nothing will ever change. "
"still very, very shocked. To hand him a 8-match ban and brand him a racist like that, based on evra's words? Way to go FA, and happy to see all players&fans of LFC support him, YNWA Luis "
"I would like to offer my support for Luis Suarez. Luis is our team player and one of our family members. You'll NEVER walk ALONE with your red family Luis. This will unite our family closer and make you a stronger person. We will have the last laugh."
"i think we need to to thanks them to say suarez rasist,due to that this guys can get a little rest!!!!! come back more stronger n for time bieng let caroll show them that we r a team ynwa love lfc n support u suarez"
"Good. The FA have basically closed the door on cultural differences with this stupid ban. They are basically saying you can't do anything that English people don't like. Aren't they the racist themselves?
They are using Suarez for their political agenda.
"
"I'm a Nigerian and i know LFC does not condone racism of any form. We all need to make sure luis doesnt let his spirits down. HE MUST NOT WALK ALONE!!!!!"
"This is a terrible situation - the FA are making a political point - it is also directed against Sepp Blatter. There is no way they are going to back down on this, so it might be better of LFC do not appeal - an unsuccessful appeal might get the ban increased. Might be best to start the 8 games quick while the games are against easier teams. I'm very angry too, but we must make the best of it."
"i am disgusted by the fa's decision and i hope they get some sense and overturn their decision when we appeal and i hope evra gets banned for abusing suarez in spanish. were all with you suarez YNWA."
"Oh by the way, FA are you planning on charging Evra? We all know that they won't charge him and pretend it didn't happen. they are saying that being racist to other cultures who aren't black isn't being racist because racism only happens to black people. Hypocrisy. "
"THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL THE FA AND THE 3 FOOL PANEL THAT WE ARE LFC AND NOT A RACIST CLUB, EVIDENCE AND RECORDS ARE THERE TO SHOW IT. KING KENNY, DAMIEN COMMOLI, JWH, TOM WARNER, LEBRON JAMES, SNOOP DOGG, THE BEATLES, PA DR.NELSON MANDELA, FELLOW TEAM MATES AND LFC SUPPORTERS WORLD WIDE WERE ALL STRONGLY BEHIND LUIS SUAREZ AND NOTHING DONE BY THE FA CAN INTIMIDATE US.YNWA. "
"There seems to be a conspiracy by the powers that be in the FA to get us down by any means possible but reds woldwide should send them a message starting with tonites match against wigan that we will not be cowed
"
"Great display of support from the playing staff. Once again proves that we are so lucky to support such a respectful distinguished football club. With the emotion the players are feeling...i wouldn't like to be in the Wigan dressing room tonight..I predict an out of this world display from the Red Men!!!"
"Well said Gentleman, you make me proud to be a fan. YNWA. The FA is full of sciolistic people fooling no one that they have any idea about football. Every time they speak or issue a statement about racism and attached Luis' name; I cannot help but think this has not been proven and is an outrageous exercise of dragging his name down. We are not fooled and support the man against this odious lie."
"Well put lads we all know Luis isn't racist and we know what a lying little git evera is even his own country band him after the world cup for being trouble maker we love yous your never walk alone "
"I wholeheartedly support the players and more especially Luis Suarez I think he has been villified by the FA and used as a scapegoat by them. It is tragic that they choose him to make a point. Luis YNWA. Keith"
"I just hope all the team wear t shirts with luis face and not guilty on when we play the s at old trafford and when we score reveal them in evras stupid little face"
"Complete disgrace , the FA have taken the word of a player who led a player walk out at the last world cup , Louis Suarez we love you and back you 100% YNWA"
"I hope LFC BAN the Daily Mirror from entering Melwood after what their report Maddocks said about Suarez. I also hope that the Club and Suarez sue them for libellous statement"
"Too little too late. Luis has been used as a pawn by the FA to stick 2 large fingers up to Blatter and his cronies. Luis has paid for every bit of abuse aimed at English players and clubs over the last 20 years. Too gutless to take on FIFA, but happy to punish LFC. We should pull out of the FA Cup in protest. Disgusted with the FA."
"Every brick the FA throw at us we will lay it down and use it to rebuild fortress Anfield we won't be beaten by the hypocrites at the FA or by the rumour er who lives in the theatre of nightmares "
"Awesome to see how everyone has gotten together and aimed to fight it out. Its not just about Suarez but the entire Liverpool Football Club! I am really proud to see the reaction of the whole red family. Proud to be Red....YNWA."
"The FDA.. The Football Discrimination Association, a group of corrupt people that specialise in discrimination against players... theyr latest victim, Luis Suarez!!"
"suarez doesn't deserve this! every time man united lose they blame someone else instead of themselfs this wasn't the first time evra done something like this and the fa should ban evra for 8 matches instead how could they believe him after all those times he did this all of the others got cleared except for suarez "
"suarez doesn't deserve this! every time man united lose they blame someone else instead of themselfs this wasn't the first time evra done something like this and the fa should ban evra for 8 matches instead how could they believe him after all those times he did this all of the others got cleared except for suarez "
"Come on all LFC supporters. Let's fight for Luis in this appeal & clear his name. I hope for justice from the appeal. Luis score a few goals & show them what you're made of mate. We will show you that you never walk alone. This is LFC"
"please for all the reds who wants to show their support, join the 'all behind luis' facebook group! please its only takes two minutes and i m sure you wnt to show that luis will never walk alone. say it to all the fans you know"
"LETS ROCK THE PREM!!!
THE FA NEVER LIKED US SINCE THE HILLSBROUGH :( THATS AN AGENDA IF YOU ASK ME
YNWA WERE A FAMILY NOT JUST A FOOTBALL CLUB SUAREZ WONT WALK ALONE, LUCAS WONT, AND NOONE ASSOSCIATED WITH LFC WONT WALK ALONE!YNWA THE KOP RISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Great to see such solidarity, well done lads.
As for the F.in Association; prats such ensured that next time LFC meet manure & their sbag girly (Eve), there will be fire works on the pitch which will spread to the terraces!!"
"We are all 100% behind you Luis! And fans from every single other club should get behind him too and face the fact that football in this country is now the FA and MU against the rest of us. Disgraceful!"
"YNWA - FA have done this for all the wrong reasons - it's got nothing to do with getting rid of racism - everything to do with politics and game-playing with FIFA - holier than than thou etc etc
Hang in there Luis you've got the best supporters in the world on your side!!!!!"
"Adrian Durham on TalkSport was calling for Luis Suarez to be sacked by Liverpool FC. The same Adrian Durham who once called Jamie Carragher a 'Bottler' and Darren went along with his comments. Both of them are as two-faced and cowardly as the FA. We are with you Luis Suarez every step of the way. YNWA."
"what a complete farce,i am a white english guy,if i went to the powers that be and said a black player called me bad names,do you think it would be taken seriously? a travesty of justice,but then again i guess we are used to those eh lads ??? luis you are not walking alone and this should be overturned,mon lads full points tonight and every game for luis playing or not, ywnwa "
"Just what is needed, a poor decision by three nonenies, one a QC(not even a judge) one an ex chairman of Sheffield United and a n aquaintance of Alex Ferguson!!!!! A kangaroo court by any other name. We all await the John Terry result with huge interest. Good Luck Louis YNWA"
"luis suarez is no racist he is just a happy guy enjoying the game i think he has been set as an example and was found guilty even before the hearing how about the clown evra no charges brought against him"
"Adrian Durham on TalkSport was calling for Luis Suarez to be sacked by Liverpool FC. The same Adrian Durham who once called Jamie Carragher a 'Bottler' and Darren went along with his comments. Both of them are as two-faced and cowardly as the FA. We are with you Luis Suarez every step of the way. YNWA."
"Luis....Your team and your fans are 100% behind you. We know the good, moral fiber you're made of and know Patrice Evra has falsely accused you! Always remember ... YNWA!!!!!
"
"What about the Sheffield"Independent" member of this regulatory commission? Shades of Hillsborough!! These members are both corrupt and completely ignorant of other languages."
"I fell very proud to read this message , thats why i love this club so much. I`m mexican and i know what suarez is talking about, thank u lfc for staying behind our latin brothers YNWA now more than ever"
"the FA are just scared of the quality that suarez has. if he got 8 matches with only the word of evra i cant wait to see what terry gets. Luis Suarez 7 YNWA"
"The FA stinks. Liverpool yet again have to rise above adversity from the administrators of the game. Congratulations to the cheats at old toilet. Luis does not deserve this and the FA does not deserve a player of Luis quality. Luis you are a gem and we fans all fully back you."
"Luis, you will never walk alone. You are a joy to watch and a credit to yourself,your team mates,your club, your family and your country.we have waited years for somebody like you to come along and play for us. Don't listen to the Manure defender, he's just blaming you for being a better footballer than him. "
"they (FA & co) will try all ways to down liverpoolFC , first by refs n now with ban our stars!
but they dont know that LFC is bigger than that , YNWA Luis n LiverpoolFC,we support you with all of our hearts , LFC For Ever"
"I'm very proud of Liverpool. The FA must be wondering what they got themselves into!
You can't break the Reds spirit, simple! Hope we'll prove that with a win tonight. No matter what, we'll walk on.
Walk on....YNWA."
"Well said, lads.
If they can't get at one of our players one way, they try and stir it to get at them another.
None of our players will ever walk alone.
You're with our red family now, Luis"
"all the best so the suarez familly, your the real victims in yhis case.. maybe our hero is not the only one being treated wrongly. the devils has been on top so long now they have to step on opponents to stay there. like a junkie"
"Fantastic! Love the Suarez shirts! Kenny is top man wearing one on the pre-match interview!
Luis is a smashing fella.
Evra must be the most hated player in world football and rightly so."
"Luis!!! Luis!!! Luis!!! Luis!!! Luis!!! Luis!!!
We Are The Team - Team of the free peoples without nationalities and religions. Our nationality, religion and race - is Liverpool and RED"
"Totally at one with all the comments here. Felt very sorry for Luis to-night with the treatment from (some of) the Wigan supporters. He has been most unfairly branded. Gave his shirt to the Wigan goalie, what more can be said - YNWA"
"Why is this have to happen now. I'm just hate and don't know what to think. I'm black so I really don't want to be thinking that he's a Racist! At this point in time...I just know what to honestly think!"
"luis was always going to be found guilty, for 2 reasons, 1, patrice evra is a manure player and 2 he is french, why does this make a difference, well 1, man u are the FA's babies, and 2, the vice president of EUFA is michel platini who is also french, consequently the cards were again you luis, but YNWA while you have the MOST famous red army behind you"
"evra and the fa are both s. how dare they treat suarez like this. what a joke this is. im absolutely fuming. cant believe they took the word from that nasty dirty piece of work. YNWA"
"well I think he needs a break he played most of world cup... all last summer at copa..played in all games so far...we are starting to drop off pace,just when it matters..
hey ken ...dont blame the pitch!!!remember what you used to play on"
"Show your solidarity by playing with even more passion and skill than before. Defy and debunk all those critics and detractors who seem oh so eager to see both Luis and LFC falter. If the ban is confirmed, then the rest must step up their play and ensure they win all the games without Luis. LFC is not a 'one man team'; never has been and never will. Give 'em hell, you Reds. Luis, YNWA"
"Suarez your the man and the only thing keeping us going (along with the back 5) plzz appeal and get the innocence u deserve. You have every Liverpool fans support. Stay with us forever and you will never walk alone. We love you and I think the fa are corrupt and totally unfair towards Liverpool fc. Keep going pal. You have millions of people behind you and we will fight with you until the end "
"Totally ridiculous and unjust ban from the FA. In no way supported by facts and a pathetic attemp to score points against Sepp Blatter. I'm proud of our club & team for supporting Luis and trust he knows that he will always have the support & backing of all our fans. YNWA. "
"A "holier than thou" verdict from the FA which takes no account of the cultural complexities of the case and is purely designed to make a point to Blatter and FIFA."
"The players have to stand up and be counted on the field because this is simply a MANURE conspiry to disrupt Liverpool in progressing into top 4. Our players need to respond by deed too and push Liverpool into top 4, along the way help Man City win the league by beating MANURE at their home. We must have the last laugh !"
".thefa.com/TheFA/WhoWeAre/ContactUs.aspx
If we all bombard the Ferguson Association? Standing together is the only way forward - Luis Suarez - talk with your feet. x
Lets face it - the FA take away our tickets to finals and give to their colleagues, where does money go there when youngsters are left on the streets and millions in teh FA funds......."
"manu up to there normal tricks can't wait to see the run in toward the end of the season with man city , hope they get another pasting in the fa cup.
"
"Think about it - let's do the FA CUP - win it and then walk away from the FA presentation in protest. I can see it now...... Luis scores the goal that wins the FA CUP - eat your hearts out!
walk tall Luis we love you"
"Suarez has my backing as evra looks like he could start a fight in a empty room on his own . let alone on a football pitch ,trained by alex f, the manu way .ynwa SUAREZ."
"I have been a LFC supporter for 35 years now and I am from Nigeria. I join 12th Red and all LFC supporters in Nigeria in supporting Suarez during this difficult time. ."
"It appears the target I believe is LFC because we are now looking a team that is capable of competing for the le and other competitions. LFC will prevail because we have the right owners and management and we never walk alone. YNWA"
"We'll right behind you Suarez...COME ON REDS, LET'S WALK TOGETHER, WE'LL GET THRU THIS...from us...die hard fans of Liverpool in Indonesia...YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...."
"ging someone is one thing, but making it up to get fellow footballers in trouble with the authorities is corruption of the highest order. (get 'em banned, weaken the side)Something smells of Old Trafford. Maybe this sort of thing is becoming part of their training curriculum."
"I've never seen such massive support for a player before. It's high time we make our stand. The FA's integrity is at stake here - it needs to be perceived as being independent and consistent. All this nonsense with the FA has gone on for far too long now."
"I'll walk beside you Suarez. I hope this won't totally mess up your X-Mas with your family!? YNWA and I' happy to read all these comments from TRUE REDS!!!!"
"I expect the management to seek redress from all possible avenue. This is an obvious blatant act by a corrupted FA. I, for one, would certainly refused to submit or influenced by the decision made by the three so-called "judges". If ever there was an intention to "racially abuse" from Luis, surely others on the field would have seen it."
"I thought that hearsay or the word of one person against another does not prove a person Guilty. In Evra's case with his previous this would be the case.FA is a joke that is not very funny.Thanks to the playes and all LFC fans for the support.Luis you will never walk alone at this club.YNWA"
"That's the spirit guys. This is why we love LFC!
The FA is totally wrong this time: 8 games is way too much. Are they trying to make a statement?
Give Suarez your support any way you can.
YNWA"
"Awesome move!!! I really hope LFC point the finger at EVRA'S character... a man who created the strike against his own country's team during a World Cup... how is it such a man's word can be taken seriously and allowed to pass judgement on Suarez, only God knows?"
"It is regrettable & unfortunate that Luis Suarez has been victimized and punished in the most unfair of cirstances! I totally support Luis' innocence! Bro we are 1000% behind you and You'll Never Walk Alone!!!"
"It is regrettable & unfortunate that Luis Suarez has been victimized and punished in the most unfair of cirstances! I totally support Luis' innocence! Bro we are 1000% behind you and You'll Never Walk Alone!!!"
"Some Manc I know said he can't believe Dalglish and the club are standing by Suarez. I gently reminded him how his poxy club supported Cantona after he kung-fu'd that Crystal Palace pleb.
Hmm, point taken, he said sheepishly ... baaaah.
I hope Evra gets no Xmas pressies and his Turkey's off."
"YNWA Luis, you have my full support.
I really hope the right decision is made in the end.
If not though, Im sure Luis will come back even better and determined. This could also force the king to invest in a new stricker in Jan that will work with suarez when he returns."
"We fans support you as well Luis. YNWA. To whom make that allegation, only you and God knows whatever happened. You might be racist as you always think other people are racists."
"The comment "we know he is not racist" misses the point. Im not a racist, but if i used racial abuse I should be done for it. Luis ADMITTED he called Evra a 'negrito" .why do that at all? Evra was winding Suarez up and he fell for it. He should serve his band and get on with it."
"Reading between the lines it's patently obvious the English F.A. have something against Liverpool Football Club-they have done for some years now.There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to judge Suarez as guilty.I for one adamantly believe he is innocent & a victim of anti LFC campaign.There are some other forces at work here so I am glad KD & club are going to appeal/fight the ban/fine given."
"THIS DECISION IS LITTLE BIT SAD TO HEAR, BUT CAN'T DO MUCH ABOUT THE SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH HE MEAN SOMETHING ELSE BY SAYING " NEGRO " WHIS MEAN A HOLD ANOTHER DIFFERENT THING IN SPANISH IN HIS HOMELAND.
BUT CAN UNDERSTAND HOW P.EVRA FELT AFTERWARD, HE'S NOT A RACIST. HE ADMITTED SAYING THE WORD. WHICH HAD DIFFERENT EXPRESSION "LUIS SUAREZ N:07 " YOU'LL NOW WALK ALONE #YWNWA"
"YNWA from Malta! The FA has been discriminatory in this issue and any unbiased fellow can say that. And discrimination is no better than racism. The FA made a clown out of itself with this issue. I hope it will have the guts to remedy to this error."
"Great support from the lads - well done. however i am not sure anyone is saying Luis is a racist? His Grandad was black by the way. Even Evra said he knew he wasnt but the word he used caused offence even though in Uruguay it wouldnt. Maybe it could have been handled a bit differently. Hopefully the the length of ban will be reduced. YNWA
"
"Totally wrong that Luis be found guilty on the sole word of a serial complainant and proven liar who admitted to the FA that he used offensive language to Suarez, knowing Manure FA would take no action against him. Purple nose and the chocolate frog should be ashamed for breaking the players' code and making the charge in the first place. The charge would never have been upheld in a court of law."
"Evra-Started trouble with Chelsea staff at Stamford Bridge after a match.
Evra - Played a big part of the French revolt at the World Cup!!!!
He also admitted insulting Luis in Spanish
He's hardley a saint himself.
How can Luis be charged on this mans word alone!!!!
ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!!!!"
"I wrote this in the comments section of Irish Independent (slightly less elegantly) on an article regarding Paul McGrath's opinion on this issue and I was encouraged by other readers to post it to the FA site somehow, but instead I wanted to post it to Liverpool in the hope that it may reach and , if agreed it could be of use, be used in Suarez's defence."
"I feel that I have not read a single "accurate" article in any newspaper with the full description of the use of the term "negro"-"negrito" in Latin-american spanish anywhere"
" and I fear that what I have written below may well be the clearest I have seen to date, possibly because I am completely bilingual and my English is native and allows me to articulate the details in a way I feel I haven't seen in other articles."
"Being from Uruguay myself, my loving mixed-race parents refer to me as "negro" or "negrito"...and I'm not even black.
I call my wife "Negra" my daughters "Negrita"... my pals are commonly referred to as "Negro" and "Negrito" and so-on and so-forth. EVEN in a heated discussion I will use the term "Tranquilo negro" ("calm down lad") or "Todo bien negro" ("sure mate") and the person could be Chinese"
"for that matter. It is synonymous to "mate", "dude" and does not reference in any way, shape or form the colour of the person's skin or racial physical features.
The simple fact that the term was used in SPANISH by a latin american person and "not" in English points straight to that CULTURAL difference that the F.A. overlook and have disregarded."
"If he used it in English (which he struggles with), fair enough, some point of controversy could be understood, but that was not the case and it is, to this onlooker, an ugly witch hunt."
"Had Luis been an Argentine or Mexican I would have been equally as vocal about such a thing. I am, in this case, not so worried about LFC, but I am more-so about these issues that I know first-hand and in-depth about and watch from the sidelines with a sense of impotence as they are interpreted backwards and someone is being judged to this extent through the ignorance of an authority"
"Evra has the right not to know about Latin american spanish particularities, but the F.A. certainly does NOT have that right. On the contrary, they have the obligation to learn about it and understand it to put it into context.
I hope this helps at least a few people to understand the issue from a CULTURAL point of view, straight from a fully bilingual Uruguayan.
Regards,
Hernan.-"
"As usual, very proud of LFC for sticking up for every individual, when treated unjustly.
Time for the FA to grow a pair and let common sense prevail.
YNWA"
" Luis you bring joy and pride to my family to see you play with such passion for the greatest football club. We admire you for your great spirit and dedication.You are an inspiration.To the FA and other doubters the truth is there to see-just remove the blinkers.Luis just know that you have the fans support and love.You are in our hearts;carry us in yours."
"Why does the FA think that a 3 match ban for an unprovoked England player thumping an opponent is too severe and worth appealing and eight matches is correct for a player responding verbally to provocation.
"
"Everybody agrees that LS is not racist.
But he made a stupid mistake. He must learn and grew up. Next time he should call Evra " snow ball" to avoid problems. 2 or 3 matches should be enough but 8 matches seems an exageration. Evra is the only racist in this tale, he is not pride to be black..."
