  5. Fucking hell, not Nixon It'll be written in crayon. Diidn't some people think he'd said 'Welsh cunt' instead? Not that it'd make sense..
  6. He blamed the pitch as well At his own ground.
  7. Just the eight games, I think they will appeal though, the tribunal have left a few gaps for Liverpool to challenge should they so wish.
  8. According to Mr Suarez, Mr Comolli misheard what Mr Suarez said in Spanish, and Mr Kuyt misheard what Mr Suarez said in Dutch.
  9. Feel sorry for the panel reading all this, two totally different versions of events
  10. Evra told us that he began the conversation by saying "Concha de tu hermana". Mr Evra's evidence was that this is a phrase used in Spanish like when you say "fucking hell" in 27 English, but the literal translation is "your sister's pussy" What?!
  11. Evra's version of events: The FA's case, in short, was as follows. In the goalmouth, Mr Evra and Mr Suarez spoke to each other in Spanish. Mr Evra asked Mr Suarez why he had kicked him, referring to the foul five minutes previously. Mr Suarez replied "Porque tu eres negro", meaning "Because you are black". Mr Evra then said to Mr Suarez “say it to me again, I’m going to punch you”. Mr Suarez replied "No hablo con los negros", meaning "I don't speak to blacks". Mr Evra continued by saying that he now thought he was going to punch Mr Suarez. Mr Suarez replied "Dale, negro, negro, negro", which meant "okay, blackie, blackie, blackie". As Mr Suarez said this, he reached out to touch Mr Evra's arm, gesturing at his skin. Mr Kuyt then intervened. When the referee blew his whistle and called the players over to him shortly after the exchanges in the goalmouth, Mr Evra said to the referee "ref, ref, he just called me a fucking black". Suarez's version: Mr Suarez denied the Charge. His case, in short, was as follows. He agreed with Mr Evra that they spoke to each other in Spanish in the goalmouth. When Mr Evra asked why he had kicked him, Mr Suarez replied that it was a normal foul and shrugged his shoulders. Mr Evra then said that he was going to kick Mr Suarez, to which Mr Suarez told him to shut up. As Mr Kuyt was approaching, Mr Suarez touched Mr Evra's left arm in a pinching style movement. According to Mr Suarez, at no point in the goalmouth did he use the word "negro". When the referee blew his whistle to stop play, Mr Evra spoke to Mr Suarez and said (in English) "Don't touch me, South American". Mr Suarez replied "Por que, negro?". He says that he used the word “negro” in a way with which he was familiar from his upbringing in Uruguay. Someone's lying
  12. You're right, I was thinking of 'The Great War'. I'm sure I've seen The World at War on BBC2 though. I think it's only if you spend an extended period of time abroad that you realise how respected and valued the BBC is.
  13. I'm not, i only watch MOTD, why should i pay the whole fee for just one programme ? You don't ever use BBC Online or listen to BBC Radio? It's one of, if not the, world's best broadcasters and that is largely due to the way it is funded. Having said that, most countries operate a TV licence system and don't have anything near as good as the BBC. I really don't know why people complain about it, especially in 2011 when if you really don't want one, it's so easy to get round it - you can watch pretty much everything on the BBC, and the other terrestrial channels, (other than MOTD due to rights issues) without even needing a TV licence, and all legally. The BBC have probably dropped out due to the new contract deal that the Football League have with Sky, which already lets them show all the goals before the FLS is even aired. No i dont, like i said i only watch MOTD, i watch sport and documentaries and Sky are far superior to the BBC for those, and i never listen to the radio and if i do its never anything BBC related. It is not one the world best broadcasters, imo its one of the worst, its run by people who have no interest in what we the taxpayers want and would like to actually see, it gives so called stars millions of pounds of our money without our consent, knowledge or input, that is outrageous seeing as virtually everyone has to pay toward it. Bit of a contradiction in terms there. The way I see it is if it wasn't for the BBC, what would be the next best option? ITV- commercially orientated crap Sky- Murdoch dominated commercially orientated crap (although sports coverage is quite good) Tabloid arseholes like the Mail or the Sun- well the last few months have shown what they're like. They might not be perfect but they have a far better record of making quality programming than anyone else. Do you think Frozen Planet, The Thick of It, The World at War would have been made on any other network?
  14. Bet the Mail etc will have a good whinge about this, even though it is the cuts to the BBC which they have championed for years which has forced this situation.
  15. It is definitely disgusting though.
  16. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16338426.stm 'It's a disgusting injury' Nice one, boss.

    He's such a happy man.
  18. He's already admitted saying the words, panel just needs to judge context.
  19. Yeah. This quote from the same article made me laugh. Fair enough then.
  20. I don't see that as being the case at all given how unique this situation is. The Dutch FA have pretty much said the referee's reaction was a little too hasty by overturning the red. They've overturned the suspension not the red card. Makes no sense to me.

  22. I don't know, I think Ajax will get the win. They were 1-0 up against a team with 10 men, who voluntarily walked off the pitch. We'll see though.
  23. How did Ajax break the rules? Can they held responsible for a fan trying to decieve them?
