Liverpool viser fram sin hyklerske side igjen. Anker ikke, men mener dommen er feil. Seriøst? Den nye pressemeldingen de kommer med er like håpløs som den forrige.
“Evra was deemed to be credible in spite of admitting that he himself used insulting and threatening words towards Luis and that his initial charge as to the word used was somehow a mistake.”
Evra was deemed a credible witness because wherever possible, his story was supported by everyone questioned, whether that was Marriner, Dowd, Giggs, Valencia, Chicharito, Nani or Anderson. In contrast, Suarez’s statement was contradicted by Dalglish, Comolli, and Kuyt. Suarez also admitted to lying, after initially telling the FA he pinched Evra to “defuse the situation”, when acknowledging this wasn’t the case at all. Also, Evra’s version of events was supported by the TV footage whereas Suarez’s version wasn’t. It is very easy to see why Evra was deemed credible and Suarez wasn’t.
“This case has also provided a template in which a club’s rival can bring about a significant ban for a top player without anything beyond an accusation.”
Suarez’s defence in the case, Peter McCormick OBE, acknowledged that this wasn’t one player’s word against another. For Liverpool to claim the opposite of this is astonishing.
In paragraph 215 of the report: “It was accepted by both Mr Greaney and Mr McCormick in closing submissions that this is not simply a case of one person’s word against another.”
