Suarez: Evra wrong

Suarez: Evra wrong to speak up

02/08/2012 06:39:43 PM

Luis Suarez claims Manchester United's Patrice Evra broke 'football law' by reporting the racial abuse which led to the Uruguayan's ban.

Suarez, 25, served an eight-match domestic suspension after being found guilty of racially abusing France fullback Evra during Liverpool's English Premier League match at home to United on October 15.

The pair are likely to be up against each other again in the return league fixture at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is on record as saying the Uruguay international 'should never' have been banned.And Suarez has shown little contrition for his actions, claiming Evra was wrong to report the incident.

He also said the inevitable attention he will receive from United's fans this weekend will only act as additional motivation.

"I knew what I did and there is a kind of football law that says 'what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch and that's the end of the story'," Suarez told Uruguayan Radio Sport 890.

"I know against Man United it is going to be tense because I'm going to face Evra."

"But I'm used to having fans whistle at me. I hope nothing unusual happens. I'll have to forget what happened for that moment."

"I do know Man United fans are going to try to make me feel uncomfortable. But I have to tell them - they are going to spur me on if they whistle at me."

Ahh the fat blatter school of football. I now understand why he thought it acceptable to bite someone when he played for Ajax. What a muppet!

Agreed. What happens on the pitch between players should stay on the pitch. It is not breaking any rule for referees to award yellow card or red card.
