Barclay tweeted;
Re Suarez: if you were in Saudi and got arrested for swigging whisky in public, would you be able to get off citing "cultural differences"?
Argument over Suarez/Evra is clearly no longer over guilt and innocence but length of punishment
What I'm saying, Ben, is that an immigrant should learn and respect the culture of the country that is his host. What Poyet said was awful.
Any player signing contract with a British club should be made aware that anything like "negro" is career suicide. Amazed it's not standard.


The responses were beyond depressing.


People don't like to here the truth though, do they. Especially that lot.

You are beyond help if you can't spot the difference between spitting at someone and an argument/row/language mix up/spat.

Have a read of this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... cases.html

Sort of explains the complications of the whole situation.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Sat Dec 17, 2011 1:28 am  
Am I the only one who thinks that the incident which started this, Suarez supposedly fouling Evra, was nothing but a con job from Evra? I think it should have been a corner to Liverpool, but Evra hitting the deck and rolling around won him a free kick instead.

If Evra accused Mariner of only booking him because he was black, then I think the case nearly disappears.

I do think if Suarez had just STFU then this wouldn't even have gone to a hearing. It was his interview where he admitted saying something, but saying other United players call him that too, which earned him a charge.

But I do think that it is impossible to judge the situation at all from the newspaper reports.

Suarez is saying it's cultural differences. That's my point.

A one off remark could possibly be put down to cultural differences. Much depends on whether Evra's claim that he made the remark repeatedly is accepted by the tribunal.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Are there such distinguishable differences between English and Dutch cultures?

A few years in Holland wouldnt completely erode his culture. Even if he had adapted to a European culture, it might still be understandable if he "let slip" such a remark. That's why a one off remark might be forgiveable whereas several uses of the phrase wouldnt.
