    Im annoyed i started this thread. On a momentous day for the families of the Hillsborough victims and Liverpool fans all people can post about is Suarez and Evra.

    Well in fairness if you want to post about Hillsborough I'm sure there is places to do it.

    I'd be more annoyed that we're going around in circles on this thread. Evra is either telling lies, a gobshíte for not observing the video evidence before claiming to the media that evidence was there for all to see, or is standing up against one of the modern worlds biggest and scummiest problems.

    I wish people would just wait for the conclusion or solid update on this that's all.

    Liverpools behavior as a cub in this had been despicable though.
    1.Officially calling for a player to be banned if the allegations are not true is just not on. What sort of precedence would this give. In the future players would be slow to report other instances for fear of a ban themselves
    .

    So anyone should be free to accuse someone else of anything they like without consequence?

    If the video evidence was there, it'd be out by now.

    Therefore it's either 1 or 2. In which case he should face punishment as he wasn't just being a "gob****e", he was being wreckless with someone elses reputation.

    Nullzero, would you find it acceptable if I declared you a rapist & said I had solid proof you were?

    If & when I was shown to be lying, and indeed there was no proof, would you be happy that no action be taken & I just go on my merry way with there being no ramifications for such lies?

    Why wait for facts when you can make stuff up to suit your argument?

    You and your people told lies about Evra, saying he accused the Chelsea fella of racism before, and he didn't do any such thing.

    I couldn't care less what you say to be honest.
    You're a fantasist as far as I can tell, anything you say is immendiately invalid.
    The answer to the questions you asked is obvious and it has no relevance to this discussion.

    conversely you can't have somebody be afraid to make a complaint in case they are punished for it.

    Are you talking about Evra?

    Cause that's exactly what he has done.

    If a club representative for LFC has told lies about Evra, I agree he should be punished harshly. Even if he was just "mistaken". Its no excuse for someone in that position.

    As a representative for the club, he should be held to higher standards than, than you or I as joe soaps on a website.

    In fairness, thats sidestepping and you know it. What if your in a club with your friends and family and some girl points you out and says you raped her? You get hauled down to the cop shop and questioned. Then a couple of days later she goes "well I dont actually have any proof anything happened at all". Would you shrug your shoulders and head home to continue on with your life, bearing mind all the people you know have it in the back of their minds you've been accused of rape? The "victim" in these things is often quickly forgotted and all thats left is the allegation and the person it was made against.
    conversely you can't have somebody be afraid to make a complaint in case they are punished for it.

    Which is why you need evidence.

    If my house is robbed and I reckon it was you, is it ok for me to walk up and down outside your house with a sign calling you a thief before the Gards have checked for fingerpritns?

    Ok, so I'm presuming you think I should be punished for lying but Evra shouldn't. Weird.

    Sidestepping?
    So accussing somebody of being racist is the same as the act of rape? The same as forcing another human being into violent and abusive sexual intercourse?

    The question posed asnwered itself.
    You need to join Mr Alan in the contemplation corner and engage your brain before you post, preferably with your Liverpool fans hat off in future.

    I agree.

    That's why there should be a procedure in place for these things imo, which includes the player making the accusation not running crying to the media before the charges have been heard.

    Its also important that people don't think you can just cry "racist" whenever it suits with no ramifications.

    I think the point being lost is Evra said there is proof of racist slurs by Suarez on 10 occasions during the match.

    If he said once, fair enough it might not be picked up, but 10 times surely it will, if he said it.

    I don't think you need to be punished, I cant fathom where you fashioned that idea. You should just be ignord by anyone who wants a balanced discussion, but punished? I don't see the need.

    The sooner you get it into your head that there will not and should not be a charge for assuming there is video evidence the better for everyone having to read the same bull**** over and over again.

    He still stands by his original claim evidence or no evidence.

    Say I'm in a shop,I see someone I know stealing.
    I report it and say "he definitely was,sure it will be on camera".
    Turns out it was a blind spot and not picked up on camera.
    Should I be charged for dragging the good name of a thief through the dirt.

    It's the same accusing them of being a rapist.

    Is being a racist the same as being a rapist?

    I'm not a racist, I cant stand racism, but it would seem onbvious to me that being a rapist is inherintly worse than being a racist.

    Ok, imagine you were sitting in a pub with all your friends, family and work colleagues and i start shouting that you are a dirty racist. You argue your case but i continue to say that i have proof of you being a racist. I leave it a few days and then it turns out that there is no proof.

    How would you feel?

    Whether you think my analogy is more or less serious than the racist story is irrelevant, your sidesteppign by not answering.

    Just to appease you, replace "woman crying rape " with "black guy accused you of calling him a ****** on the danceflorr 10 times" , do you still just laugh it off as your being chucked out on your face with your friends and family (and employers) watching?
