“I have today advised the Metropolitan Police Service that John Terry should be prosecuted for a racially aggravated public order offence following comments allegedly made during a Premier League football match between Queen’s Park Rangers and Chelsea on 23 October 2011. “The decision was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and after careful consideration of all the evidence, I am satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute this case. “Mr Terry will appear before West London Magistrates’ Court on 1 February 2012. “He is now summonsed with a criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that nothing should be reported which could prejudice his trial.”

Why is it? Fact remains that cultural differences do come into play here surely, regardless of the fact it happened in England? Why else would Suarez admit saying something?

yeah, i think people from ciudad juarez who move to the uk should be let off on murder charges.
liverpool's statement boiled down to: evra is a known liar + evra says suarez is not a racist

So FA bans are for all competitions, league, FA Cup, Carling Cup yeah?So he'll miss 6 league games, first leg of City C-Cup semi-final and the FA Cup game against Oldham. Back by the end of January. Oh well a nice winter break for him after 2 straight summers of international tournaments. That's not too bad.

suarez ban is suspended until appeals process is exhausted. certainly won't miss any matches during 2011.
― caek, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 14:42 (twelve years ago) link
can i just say, i'm having a lovely time

If he doesn't appeal and there aren't any winter cancellations then the next game he's eligible for is Man U.
― aldo, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
fwiw if he doesn't explicitly say he's not appealing, then the the ban is suspended until the appeal window expires
― caek, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
(14 days)
― caek, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
It also strikes me that any decision whether to appeal may be used tactically. Suárez has 14 days to either (i) accept the charge, (ii) lodge an appeal or (iii) do nothing. If he admits the charge the penalty will take effect from the date the charge is admitted. Should Suárez appeal, the penalty is suspended until after the outcome of the appeal. Alternatively, Suárez could do nothing and allow the penalty to begin at the expiry of the 14-day deadline. These options will determine which matches Suárez can play in over the coming weeks.

Made a great penalty save from Totti the other week, prompting a 'maybe I'll just leave Roma' sulk iirc.

Chelsea's super-sensitive manager Andre Villas-Boas has had lead pundit Tommy Langley removed from his own club’s TV channel for criticising the Portuguese’s hardline treatment of disenchanted players.
Former club favourite Langley was told he was no longer required at Chelsea TV after he described AVB as ‘vindictive’ for allegedly not allowing Nicolas Anelka and Alex to park their vehicles in the first-team car park after they had been banished from the squad for handing in transfer requests.

Liverpool should have handled it more along the lines of
1-Evra makes accusation2- LFC ask Suarez what he did/said3-Suarez says he called him a 'negro' but that it's not a racist term in uruguay4-LFC tell suarez that it is here, not to do it again, and that he should insist, if asked, that he said nothing of the sort to Evra
