Liverpool have retained a degree of dignity by admitting defeat now but their reputation has been tarnished by this whole farce.
The statements from Liverpool and Suarez are very "woe is me" though - no apology or admittance that what he saiid was wrong.
Have you missed most of what's gone on, Asim? Liverpool and Suarez continue to deny Evra's accusations, why would anybody continually denying something come out and admit what they said was wrong, whilst they continue to deny the majority of what has apparently been said?
I'm glad the club done this, I've read loads over the past few days about possible actions the club could have taken, but there weren't many grounds for appeal and it ultimately would have dragged and dragged for the sake of a possible reduction in the ban.
As for the aftermath of this, well, it all boils down to one thing really, who do you believe in what was 'probably' said? Me personally, I think Suarez was wrong in his use of the word 'negro', but that's about all I can say, as the rest is based on 'probability' and opinion. Suarez will continue to maintain his innocence, Evra will maintain he was abused, exchanges will continue to go on over this but I'll leave the debates at that, unless Mark wants me on my knees bowing to him or something.
