‘Luis Suarez Racially Abused Patrice Evra’ 16/10/2011
Liverpool forward Luis Suarez is at the centre of a Football Association investigation, after serious allegations of racist abuse were made against the player by Manchester United defender Patrice Evra. Referee Andre Marriner reported the claimed racial remarks to The FA after the 1-1 draw at Anfield… On Saturday, Javier Hernandez scored late to cancel-out Steven Gerrard’s opener for The Scousers, ending the game in a 1-1 draw. But the result was later marred by reports that Liverpool’s Luis Suarez made horrific comments to Manchester United’s Pat Evra. Suarez is alleged to have used disgusting racial slang – ‘n*gger’ – towards Evra ‘at least 10 times’ beyond the hour mark of the fixture, having already kicked United’s defender to the ground. Referee Andre Marriner made a note in his match report, and then informed The FA of the allegations that Suarez racially abused Evra on the field of play. The official had handled the situation in an awful manner, as he failed to show Suarez a red card for a deliberate kick-out at Evra, before allowing the 24-year-old Uruguayan striker make discriminatory expressions aimed at the 30-year-old French fullback. The ref. then booked Evra for his complaints ! Suarez got away free of punishment for various offences, including separate incidences where he clearly dived to win false free-kicks. But after the game, Evra did tell French media of his opponent’s behaviour, accusing him of using racism on a number of occasions as a form of attempting to ‘wind-up’ Pat. The FA have confirmed they are making enquiries into the issue, but a Liverpool spokesperson stressed their player denied making the shocking statements. Proof in the form of surrounding officials and players, video cameras and microphones should mean that Suarez is punished for his disturbing actions. He has been involved in controversy before; racism, physical assault and professional cheating. After the game at the weekend, Evra expressed his distress at the ordeal: “There are cameras, you can see him. He says a certain word to me at least 10 times. I was very upset.” “In 2011 you can’t say things like this. He knows what he said, the ref knows it, it will come out. I won’t repeat what he said, but it was a racist word, and he said it more than 10 times. He tried to wind me up. I won’t make a huge deal out of it, but it’s very upsetting and disappointing.” A spokesperson from The Kop responded, saying Suarez ‘categorically denied’ using words of an unacceptable nature, despite Evra’s doubtless stance. The football authorities released a statement shortly after Evra’s interview: “The Football Association have this evening been made aware of an incident that is alleged to have occurred during the Liverpool versus Manchester United fixture at Anfield today. Referee Andre Marriner was made aware of an allegation at the end of the fixture and subsequently reported this to the FA. The FA will now begin making enquiries into the matter.” Last season, Luis Suarez acted highly inappropriately in an unpunished incident with Rafael Da Silva. ‘Like’ United Latest On Facebook Commentsdaniel 16/10/2011 8:53pm

No proof at all for this.. said it 10 times in probably the biggest game in the league and not 1 camera or United player heard or saw a thing!!! A bit concerning for Evra , Suarez did bite someone but dont think he has previous for racist behaviour, The Ghana thing its a handball, red card (which he got)If Rooney did it in the Champs league and it ment Utd got to the final he would be a Hero Comments are closed. |
