What punishment would you give Suarez/Terry/Evra for their crimes if found guilty

by Fernando Thu Nov 03, 2011 11:04 am

With both players being in the papers and investigated by police and FA, I was wondering if both were found guilty of racism or in Evra's case making potentially false claims how would you deal with them?

Personally id ban them both for the rest of the season and strip terry of the captaincy of England and see if can get uefa to extend the ban into International competitions

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Thu Nov 03, 2011 11:09 am

I'd let Wayne Bridge black-up and have a go on Terry's wife, whilst I'd parachute Luiz Suarez into the centre of Accra, making him wear a big foam hand that says "Winner".

Though they'll probably just get fined two weeks wages

by steveo1986 Thu Nov 03, 2011 11:20 am

It should defienetly be long bans, 15 to 20 games or something and of course strip Terry of the captaincy, the bloke is a disgrace anyway

I would make John Terry King of England and have every Landhan journo write a full paper salivating over King Captain John the Lionheart Terry of the Brave.

As for Suarez, I would have every media outlet in the UK run with the story "Dirty Foreigner is a racist c**t".

I would also ignore the fact the John Terry seems to have been caught on camera, whilst Suarez racist comments (x10), which were not picked up by 26+ TV cameras, 45,000 speactators, 21 others on the field of play and whoever else was there, were only picked up by one person - this one person who decided not to bring to it to the ref's attention at the time and had a chip on his shoulder for the entire game. This one person who will know fine rightly that if it is not proven, the accused will still be labelled with the racist tag regardless.

Edit: As for punishments - and I am not sure why Evra hasn't been included in this as I see his alleged crime as the worst of the three. If found guilty, hefty bans and fines for Suarez and Terry. There has to be a precedent set with this, if this 'kick racism out of football' has any creedence to it whatsoever - else it will be written of as lip service. And for Evra, if found he is lying, I would personally ban him from playing for the rest of his career. This is a serious accusation, one that if unfounded is a clear attempt at derailing the career of Luis Suarez. Punishment too heavy? Don't care. Evra has previous (WC2010 for one example) and this could easily have a knock on effect on many things, not least the ability of the PL to attract the best foreign players.

No, but neither have Terry's or Suarez's, but you seen fit to exclude Evra from your thread title. Also your thread title is very ambiguous. Personally, if I wanted to avoid any libel claims, I would add 'if they are found guilty'

by trottb Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:15 pm

I agree that if found guilty they should get season long bans although I wouldn't be surprised if they did just get the fines. As for Evra if it is found that he has been making false accusations then he should be banned for the rest of his career. The problem I see with Evra is proving he is lying, all indications are that he is otherwise why would you not have brought it to the refs attention, they can't make him take a lie detector can they.

I'm not sure if the police have got/will get involved in the Suarez/Evra case but they are certainly getting involved with the Terry case

If found guilty (by the police rather than just by football authorities) then I'd suggest that the punishment should be as laid down by the law of the land rather than any football-imposed penalties which will almost certainly be lesser anyway

This is exactly why it should not have been made public. If it is left unproven, the mud will stick with Suarez, although my inclination is that was the plan along, given who it was that made sure it was public knowledge.

Happy to be proven wrong though.

Definitely agree with that mate, the main difference between Terry and Suarez for me is that it is clear as day what he said and he should be punished for that alone regardless of the context.

I do find Anton Ferdinands input into all of this a bit strange though, 1 minute he knows nothing everything is fine, then he is thanking everyone for their support, then he has very strong feelings about it. Seems a bit odd to me don't know if anyone else agrees?

No, I was saying that whenever Evra talks or has anything to say it's usually rubbish!

For what it's worth I can see the Suarez/Evra case being whitewashed. It's the Terry one that seems to gathering pace.

by liverbnz Thu Nov 03, 2011 12:51 pm

Ah, but Martin Samuel said that racism is subtle and discreet therefore Terry couldn't be a racist as he shouted his remarks in front of the whole world.

BTW, this is a journalist who compared (favourabley) Lampard scoring a penalty in a CL QF days after his mother passed away to soldier continuing in war when they suffer a loved one dying at home.

He is also a fat Poopie. Little less of those crossiants on the Sunday Supplement eh Mr Samuel!

Some of the Liverpool fans on here are biased, Suarez should get a ban and fine wheras Evra should get banned for life. Why?

Both should be banned for life if they are lying or racist.

by FIFA Diva Fri Nov 04, 2011 10:34 am

An I already explained that in a previous topic if you look around.

The one with Chelsea was not proved wrong or right, Evra got a 4 match ban for fighting not lying.

An Suarez is hardly a saint, biting an oppenent. I am looking at it through a none biased way and if either is found lying should be banned from playing Football forever. Simples. It's sickening that rival fans want other players banned forever for racism wheras thier own they just want them to get a little fine and a small ban. It's not about racism for some fans just to get one over thier rivals. Childish behaviour.

by liverbnz Fri Nov 04, 2011 11:48 am

I don't think racism warrants a lifetime ban to be honest, especially when there are those who get minimal bans for trying to punch someone's head off.

If Evra is lying, then it can only be an orchrestrated attempt at derailing the career of Luis Suarez. It wasn't an off the cuff remark - this is something that has been concocted after the match. That's what I would call 'sickening'. It's irrelevant what teams they play for, but Evra's and Suarez's alledged crimes are not the same and should therefore be treated differently.

Suarez's biting an opponent also has nothing to do with this issue so no need to bring it up.

How about sticking them in stocks? They could be pelted with tomatoes. 5 tomatoes for a £1 with all money generated going to a football related charity.

Josiah Maiestas wrote:Anton and Rio Ferdinand should also be added, they appear to be sure JT's already said it without evidence!

Surely the fact that it was caught on camera is evidence enough. There is no question of weather he said it, just the context. All Anton and Rio have done is not talked to him, Anton made no claim to have heard it but asked for the claim to be investigated in light of the evidence put to him and the fact that the events described by JT having a conversation with him on the pitch appear to be utter fabrication. Rio especially has stayed away from the matter until it is resolved so how should they be added to the list.

If he is guilty he should be banned for 6 months and stripped of the England captaincy. If my boss slept with another colleagues missuis and was demoted giving him 1 strike then worked his ass off (as JT did) to warrant getting back to his position and then was proved to be a racist I would expect him to be fired on the spot and never work for the company again. I expect that he will be found not guilty as usual, to be honest if he was a racist or even made occasional off the cuff remarks I wouldnt have expected Cashley and Drogba to be so quick to stand up for him as they have done.

Not sure about Suarez /Evra ads there is no proof of either story I think this one will be swept away.

by TopHat24/7 Wed Nov 16, 2011 9:05 am

Season bans for anyone found guilty of racism or guilty of falsely accusing someone of racism. I would note that both of these are likely to be difficult, if not impossible, to prove.

Blatter is a raving idiot and i wonder how he's in charge of UEFA.

Just because Suarez has been charged doesn't mean he's guilty yet but he does have a case to answer, Expect the media to hype this up more then usual claim he's racist then Suarez will probs get cleared and the media have to backtrack as usual.

by JDandfries Wed Nov 16, 2011 6:03 pm

Seems the FA believe Suarez has a case to answer and therefor I presume they have some sort of evidence, obviously I expect same with Terry.

So there are two outcomes, guilty or not.

If Terry and/or Suarez are found guilty, they should receive a similar ban to what Rio Ferdinand did a few years back (8 months I recall) - this is the straight forward outcome!

If not guilty then it can be cos of numerous reasons, allegations proven to be false, not enough evidence.

If proven to be false then in Evra's case he gets a ban ala Ferdinand!

Either way, if proven, the guilty party needs making an example of if the FA are serious about kicking out racism - but then again they were serious about the respect campaign etc aswell!

by JPX Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:01 am

If found guilty they should be put in a room together with Ferdinand / Evra, and should not be allowed to leave until they shake hands!!

by dondelero Thu Nov 17, 2011 1:32 pm

The FA will have to be careful as if the accused players are found guilty whatever punishment they receive will set a precedent in this country or possibly the world. Has a football player even been found guilty of racism anywhere before?

In any case footballers will now be very nervous about what they say to each other, even players within their own team.

by Kennys_Heroes Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:43 pm

"Negrito" is a term of endearment and the fond nickname of several S American pro footballers & World Cup winners. Evra should feel proud & complimented. Unless he has no understanding of Spanish or S. American culture. Which is possible. But then he shouldn't jump to conclusions just because Suarez has been skinning him all match.

Also, the English villagers should come to terms with the fact that their interpretation of "Racism" is not the same as it is in 100s of other countries around the world. And it isn't a UK-registered trademark. Perhaps a global standard definition might help.

(I fully believe the "misunderstanding" fudge will win the day. But how come Suarez has been charged and the England Captain hasn't yet, when the "crime" was more obvious and on record? Surely not because he's a pillar of English rectitude, not like that Uruguayan Latino diver bloke?)

by **Crimey** Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:04 am

I don't think you can ever claim that Suarez was complimenting Evra, and this is coming from a Liverpool fan.

The John Terry incident came after the Suarez incident so is presuambly still being investigated...

The term Negrito means 'little black man' and whilst it can in some countries including Uruguay can be seen as a term of endearment has also been shown to be used as less complimentary. A Honduras foriegn minister had to resign when he used the term to describe Barack Obama.
