Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has broken his silence over Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra.
Suarez was suspended for eight games and fined £40,000 after being found guilty of using insulting words towards the United full-back, with reference to Evra's skin colour.
Liverpool responded with a strongly-worded statement in which they criticised the Football Association and claimed Evra should also face charges after he admitted insulting Suarez during the altercation, while their players wore T-shirts in support of the Uruguayan before their draw with Wigan.
Ferguson initially insisted he had "nothing to say" about the T-shirts but has since implied the Reds should accept the sanction.
"Our support of Patrice was obvious right from the word go and that's still the same," he said, in comments reported by the Guardian. "The matter is over and I think we're satisfied that they [the FA's independent commission] found the right decision.
"This wasn't about Manchester United and Liverpool at all. It was nothing to do with that. This was an individual situation where one person was racially abused."

ROGO YOU MUST BE A DISABLED PRICK - WITH AN INABILTY TO COMUNICATE- GO AWAY AND WHEEL YOURSELF OFF A CLIIF AND DIE - YES ROGO WHAT EVER THAT MEANS ------ USE YOUR REAL NAME 2 WAT
Mr liverfoolcrap,
It is known that there cannot be a verdict based on a sole evidence - the admission of the accused.....
Imagine if Suarez has told that he had killed John Lennon so should hsve been sentenced for his admission....
Very stupid and unnormal desicion I think....
JOHNMCPARLAND
because you've been on here before, spouting your nonsense about being an everton fan....you little simpleton.
you was even telling me about lescott and saha, not even twenty four hours ago and now you're tryin to tell me you're a tranmere fan.
what are you...chronically stupid?
you're always coming out with the same nonsense about people not bein from the city aswell, you borin little f.uck.
i've told you before. im from longview and i've lived in the south end of the city for the last twenty years.
not that it matters.......moron.
Hey ROGO ask Ronnie Whelan if he is racist - Do you chant Munich disaster at MAN U. Liverpool are both Racist and the most hated club in the Prem because of what they did in Heysal. BANNED ALL OTHER CLUBS IN THE LEAGUE AND NEVER ONCE APPOLOGISED TO ANY OF THEM OR JUVENTUS. ( THE CUP OF BLOOD)
SO GO AND GET OFF YOUR VERY LOW STANDARD HORSE.
DO YOU LIVE IN LIVERPOOL??
DO YOU HAVE A SEASON TICKET??
YOU PRESUME I SUPPORT EVERTON - TRY TRANMERE YOU NUMTY UNLESS YOU KNOW OTHERWISE GENIUS
FOOLCRAP
since when has the FA spouted latin tenents?
.
JOHNMCPARLAND
your post is simple to understand
you stated that you're neither a utd nor a liverpool fan....
the implication is, that you have no biased view either way, and so requested comments on your post.......
so i replied to you. you're an everton fan....a club with racist fans
so get off your sanctimonious, phoney high horse..............and belt-up.
simple really.
ROGO you can write in any language you like including Mandarin you are just completely thick yourself.
READ THE ORIGINAL POST - digest and try to understand it if you can. Now reply to the post as you have not done so in any of your replies. I will asume that you are a typical blinkered Liverpool supporter on this site that doesn't even live in Liverpool or have a season ticket.
Suarez was found guilty - I suppose that you are more qualified than a QC and two officials from the FA who had all of the evidence at their disposal. NOW GET OVER IT AND TAKE YOUR 8 MATCH BAN ON THE CHIN SUAREZ
Rogo, the FA rule states nothing about context, he used the word and admitted he did so.
Guilty
QED
foolcrap.
it says, if the accused is admitting using the word.....
the prosecution have to prove context in which the word was used
Delian - an interesting ancient Roman tenant ... however, what did they say about the evidence of the accused where he the sole evidence was his own admission ?
"Testis unus, testis nullus" - one witness is not a witness - according to the Ancient Rome Law.......So what can we say about the verdict of FA ???? Their decision is against tha law......
FOOLCRAP.
there's nothin truthful in what you said about john moores sellin liverpool in 2007
the fella died in 1993.......so obviously that was pure drivel
JOHNMCPARLAND.
am i writing this in chinese...........or are you just terminally stupid?
i know you can 'do capitols', you wrote with them on your original post.
you know, the post where you went banging on about luis suarez then invited people to comment on what you said.
dont be gettin all shirty about it now, softarse.
if you dont like the replies to what you have to say, it doesnt take einstein to figure out that you shouldnt be asking for a response in the first place, does it albert?
Bryjones LFC... ENGLAND... JLR - Liverfool fans clueless about rules! Suarez found guilty of using racist language, based on his own statement (not Evra's), not of being a racist. just how hard is this to understand ??????????
Rogo's definition of drivel - uncomfortable truths
A truly thick fed fan - the evidence was Suarez's admission of using the word Negrito. The FA are just so foolish listening to the words of the accused
I did it but I'm not guilty
The delusion continues
Hey ROGO seriosly GET A LIFE YOU LOSER - YES I CAN DO CAPITOLS AND NO I AM NOT YOUR MATE.
I seriously believe that you have mental health issues by your reply. Do your self a favour and seek anger management classes.
Failing that WIND YOUR NECK IN
No evidence, no witness, the FA would rather take the word of Evra & Ferguson, what's new.
FOOLCRAP.
yes mate.....
everytime i log onto these threads, i hear drivel coming out of yours.
