Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has been charged by the FA following claims by Patrice Evra that he used racially abusive language.

The striker strenuously denied the claims made by Evra following the game at Anfield in October and Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has publicly backed his player but today the FA charged Suarez releasing a statement saying,

The FA has today charged Liverpool’s Luis Suarez following an incident that occurred during the Liverpool versus Manchester United fixture at Anfield on 15 October 2011.

It is alleged that Suarez used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United’s Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules.

It is further alleged that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra.

The FA will issue no further comment at this time.

The incident is just one of a number of racially motivated cases in the Premier League this season with John Terry and Anton Ferdinand also embroiled in a case whilst Chelsea’s Daniel Sturridge was recently racially abused by a fan.

    i will remain sceptical until he is actually banned. if what evra says is the correct version of events then suarez should have everything and the kitchen sink thrown at him.

    to all scousers and opposition fans saying fa is united in disguise i refer you to the following:
    1. Ferguson hit with unprecedented 4 match touch line ban for commenting on referees when other managers comment on refs all the time.
    2. Scholes and Rooney given 3 match ban each for being sent off in a friendly comp. Gerrard and Mellor were sent off in same comp. in previous seasons and recieve no ban.
    3. Ferdinand got 8 months for missing drug test. city player Christian Negouai also missed test but got no ban

    …rant over

    come on, no matter what culture you come from theres misunderstandings and theres being racist…we don,t need that in our game one of the reasons we love football is the chance to escape from the harshness of everyday life and if you ever suffered racist abuse you,d despise the fact that its reared its ugly head in the game we all love.then you get the head of the games governing body saying racist incidents should be dealt with with a handshake you begin to lose hope of it being eradicated from our game…blatter should of went a long time ago hopefully this will be the last straw…

    I live in Germany and can state that racism is rife both here and in Italy…. This story is not fundamentally about racism it is about ‘one-up-
    Manship

  6. Munich Airways says:

    Fergie went into referee with Evra in an attempt to get Suarez banned for a long time so that it hurts Liverpool… He needs to sort his own house into order with Rooney, Giggs and Neville before throwing shut pies elsewhere. Would he be so verbal if it had been one of his own players?
    Ferdinand even tells Evra to “calm down, calm down” so it couldn’t have been that bad whatever was/wasn’t said!
