Suarez...

[Fishface]

Did he say 'negro' or 'negrito'?

Suarez is Uruguayan therefore speaks spanish with Latin american culture, as we all know.

'negrito' is a term of endearment - he, himself will have been called 'negrito' countless times. Bit like saying 'oi fatlad' or similar.

'negro' is 'black' in spanish - maybe he did say it maliciously but the word 'negro' doesn't carry the same weight as it does here obviously.

I think he is getting treated with a very heavy hand.

To be called 'Caucasian' in russia, i.e. from Kavkas, is a supreme insult, hence the derogatory term 'Chornaya Zhopa' i.e. 'Black arse'....

This is all jolly confusing
wtf is Kavkas <checking google maps>

Kavkas is Russian for 'Caucus' i.e. Georgia, Armenia etc...

Just been discussing this on Facebook (yes I'm on a day off, week really) and two 'friends' who I know very well, face-to-face have vilified me for my opinion this, both are men of the cloth, and one has just called me a 'waanker'! Nice!

Actually I do fancy one - give me ten, no five minutes. Two then...

From what I've read the FA transcript said:

Evra: "Don't touch me South American"

Suarez: "Why, because you are black?" (in hispanic lingo)

Harsh indeed.

Evra probably actually said:

"Don't touch me Spico Daygo Wop"

But that's ok cos it's not racist....

Suarez got 1 game ban for what he said and 7 for his attitude.

In that case Rooney should get a 12 game auto-ban on top of whatever he's done this/next time...

I don't remember seeing Rooney giving "inconsistent" testinomy meaning in plain language talking BS and clearly trying to get away with it. Suarez had chance to apologise very quickly and he still has not done so to Evra.

As for Rooney - he should be getting red cards for sure and lengthy bans for this tulipy attitude.

He has apologised - not to the weasel Evra but for his behaviour.

I doubt you have read about this situation as much as many football fans out there, so wind ya neck in
