    Just thought I'd take a look at a liverpool forum to see what the reaction was to them doing a swift uturn, claiming the high moral ground and accepting the ban...saw this thread... which is essentailly a Liverpool fan thinking that his club spend so much time wearing black armbands that its about time they had an official black armband designed.

    They don't like anything that can be seen as offensive. God 'elp 'em if Tony went on that forum, he'd be banned in minutes

    The rs finally found themselves in the toilet of popular opinion and had no choice but accept the ban.

    THE FA REPORT...


    "in Rioplatense Spanish the use of "negro" as described here by LS would not be
    offensive. Indeed, it is possible that the term was intended as an attempt at
    conciliation and/or to establish rapport (see (ix) above)."

    266. In our judgment, Mr Suarez's use of the term was not intended as an attempt at
    conciliation or to establish rapport; neither was it meant in a conciliatory and friendly
    way. It was not explained by any feeling on Mr Suarez’s part that a linguistic or cultural
    relationship had been established between them or that the context was one of informal
    social relations. The video footage, when viewed in detail and when looked at as a whole,
    shows that the players continued their animosity throughout this incident. Their hostility
    is shown in their actions and demeanour before, at the moment of, and after Mr Suarez's
    admitted use of the word."
