Luis Suarez has only himself to blame for the racism charge he now faces because he failed to apologise for, or personally explain, the Spanish slang which he claims has been the cause of the anger felt by Manchester United's Patrice Evra, the Kick it Out organisation said last night. Liverpool are preparing a defence of the Uruguayan striker which will centre on the striker's declaration that he used a word which Evra's "team-mates at Manchester call him." That word might be negrito, which means "little black man" in Spanish, but is used in South America both as a term of endearment and as a gentle wind-up. It is possible that an apology for any perceived slight could have enabled Liverpool to avoid a Football Association commission hearing which left their manager, Kenny Dalglish, reflecting yesterday on how his club have been on the receiving end of a series of perceived injustices from the football authorities. But none has been forthcoming, with the first public suggestion that Suarez used any slang coming when he addressed the Uruguyan press last week. A spokesman for Kick It Out said last night: "It would appear that Patrice Evra had no other option than to lodge a complaint in the absence of an apology or any sort of explanation. The process has begun and we await the outcome." The FA's decision, on Tuesday evening, to charge Suarez with abuse that "included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra" divided opinion intensely yesterday, with the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) preparing to throw its weight behind Liverpool's attempts to demonstrate that Suarez is not guilty. Liverpool are preparing a defence which will centre on the allegedly benign nature of slang derived from the Spanish word for black, negro. The AUF is seeking help from the Uruguayan Embassy in London and its own Foreign Office as it seeks to bolster that aspect of the case for the impending hearing. The sense of indignation felt by Uruguayans was also graphically revealed when the Brighton & Hove Albion manager, Gustavo Poyet, accused Evra of "crying like a baby" over alleged racist comments and another to join the Suarez cause last night was Liverpool's first black player, Howard Gayle, who insisted Liverpool would not support the player if he were guilty. Poyet is concerned that the charges brought against his compatriot set a dangerous precedent. "I believe [with] Luis Suarez, it's simple," he said. "I played football for seven years in Spain and was called everything, because I was from South America , and I never went out crying like a baby, like Patrice Evra, saying that someone said something to me. I'm really sad about this charge because it's going to become too easy. I can make a complaint about any opposition manager, and if I take it as far as I can he's going to get charged. Why are we going to take one person's word over another one's? It's too risky." Poyet, 44 , claimed there was insufficient evidence against Suarez, though the FA has been acutely aware of the linguistic complexities of the case. Its painstaking work on linguistic nuance has largely contributed to the investigation taking five weeks and careful reading of the more serious of two charges could see Suarez escape relatively lightly if he is found to have included a reference to the "colour" or Evra, rather than "ethnic origin" or "race." There is a significant difference between the Spanish word for black – negro, of which negrito is a derivation – and the same word in its widely understood racial context. The substantial number of United players interviewed by the FA may be key to the commission hearing. Dalglish said Liverpool had felt they were on the receiving end of a lot. "Everybody at every football club thinks that someone can do better or be more helpful but you just get on with it," he said. "Most of the time you don't want to say anything but if you don't say anything they'll walk all over you. They might still walk all over us anyway but you've got to justify yourself, you've got to have an opinion and you've got to make a statement of a belief you've got. At the end of the day we know we've got to play the game and we will play it but it doesn't mean we haven't got an opinion about when we're playing it and it also doesn't mean to say we've got an excuse. " The manager, who said he wanted the commission to do its work "quickly but correctly," insisted that the charge hanging over Suarez would not affect his form "for any other reason than, like everyone else, sometimes you don't play as well as you are capable of playing." http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/suarez-only-has-himself-to-blame-for-storm-over-alleged-slur-6263926.html

Police say there is enough proof to charge England captain John Terry over his alleged racist rant. They have quizzed six senior Chelsea players about the ugly on-pitch clash with QPR’s Anton Ferdinand and are sending a file to crown prosecutors to make a final decision. A source claimed: “There is a feeling among some officers that John Terry has a case to answer.” Chelsea centre-back Terry, 31, is said to have called Ferdinand a “f****** black c***” during a heated Premier League match last month. Anton, 26, said he did not hear the alleged comment at the time but was alerted to the row after the final whistle. Terry strenuously denies making racist remarks and insists his words have been taken out of context. The incident is being investigated by a team of up to 10 Met officers who have examined video footage of the game and spoke to several witnesses. Prosecutors will now have to consider if they have enough evidence to take the case to court, and whether it would be in the public interest. Several police from Hammersmith and Fulham borough reportedly feel he should be charged – but it is the CPS who will decide. They have quizzed defender Ferdinand as well as Chelsea stars about the 85th minute bust-up during the heated derby at Loftus Road on October 23. The next day, following the announcement of an inquiry by the Met, Terry said: “I’ll do whatever it takes to clear my name. I don’t have anything to hide.” It is understood Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas called the situation “a big misunderstanding” and is supporting his £150,000-a-week skipper. Ferdinand has submitted his account of the exchange to the FA. He said in a previous statement: “I have very strong feelings on the matter, but in the interests of fairness and not wishing to prejudice what I am sure will be a very thorough inquiry by the FA, this will be my last comment on the subject until the inquiry is concluded.” However the conclusion of the FA investigation has been delayed while the police inquiry was being completed. During the course of the police probe it was reported that Ferdinand received a death threat which led officers to recommend that he fit a panic alarm at his east-London home. The details in the note were said to have been so graphic that cops told Ferdinand and other close relatives they must take immediate precautionary measures. Despite the on-going investigation into his conduct, Terry was still given the captain’s armband during England’s 1-0 victory over Sweden on Tuesday. He has now led out the team 34 times - equalling Alan Shearer’s record - but was booed by some sections of the Wembley crowd when they played Sweden on Tuesday. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/John-Terry-racism-row-exclusive-Police-feel-have-enough-evidence-to-charge-Terry-article831694.html

Probably 10 February

No it's not. He's admitted using the words "black c*nt", he's just said it's been seen out of context.
-
He's got his leg strapped up after coming off. Hope it's nothing serious.

Defender Billy Jones believes West Brom were unlucky to concede a spot-kick to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez - but they already knew he was "good at winning penalties". Reds manager Kenny Dalglish has had to constantly defend Suarez over allegations about going down too easily since his arrival at Anfield. The Uruguayan incensed the Baggies players and fans when he went to ground just inside the box after a challenge by winger Jerome Thomas. Referee Lee Mason pointed to the spot after his assistant flagged and Charlie Adam converted the spot-kick to set Liverpool on the way to a 2-0 win at the Hawthorns, with Andy Carroll adding the second goal. Jones stopped short of pointing an accusing finger at Suarez but made it clear the home side were aware beforehand of the dangers of challenging the player in the danger area. Jones said: "It was a bit of a harsh penalty, and going 1-0 down against Liverpool, it is always going to be hard. "I don't think it was a penalty. Jerome was in a good position. I think he has taken a touch and Suarez has got himself in front of him. "We spoke beforehand of being careful of Suarez in the penalty area because he has won penalties before for Liverpool. "He is good at winning penalties and we knew we had to be careful around him - and Jerome was. "Suarez has gone down and the linesman has given it. It was one of those things. It was harsh to concede a goal that way." http://www.itv.com/sport/football/news/baggies-feeling-penalty-pain-87147/
