To address what Dods said, okay it is possible that what Surez actually said can't be classed as racist, but even if that is the case it matters not at this point, because he was found guilty, he accepted his punishment and that should have been the end of and the reason it wasn't the end of it was because of Surez's actions. Weather he was guilty or not, he still should have shook the man's hand end of.
Troy you are really clutching at straws now. First of all I was under the impression that Surez had claimed that what he said was considered the norm in his country, but that he accepted that it was not acceptable in this country. Also it was agreed between the two clubs during the week that there would be a handshake, and on that basis there is no excuse. As for Evra if he was willing to shake hands then Surez should have no problems and personally I think Evra's response was understandable, although I disagree with his over the top celebration at the end.
The Tevez saga is strange, months ago City won't bothered if what he did as they had at least three top class strikers and were flying, but now with their dip in form and the recent injuries suddenly a fit and firing Tevez would be a huge boast. Personally I think they should stick to their guns and leave him out in the cold, the way he acted was disgraceful and at the time I thought Mechini handled him very well.
