With the limited reading and understanding of the text, there are slight discrepancies in what Dalglish, Kuyt, and Comolli statements and based on those disrepancies, and Evra's word the panel has charged Suarez.
On the other hand any disrespancy in Evra's word have been ignored, conveniently or understandably I don't know.
This part is in particular troublesome for the club.
The position, therefore, is as follows. Mr Suarez spoke in Spanish to Mr Comolli soon after the game about this serious allegation. Mr Suarez also spoke in Dutch to Mr Kuyt. Both Mr Comolli and Mr Kuyt understood Mr Suarez to have told them that when he spoke to Mr Evra he said words which translate into English as, "Because you are black". According to Mr Suarez, Mr Comolli misheard what Mr Suarez said in Spanish, and Mr Kuyt misheard what Mr Suarez said in Dutch."
While on first glance, it definitely kicks out Suarez defense. However, from my own (family) experience, your own statements can be turned upside down in courts, if there's a single chance of you not being able to answer precisely and every little mistake and inconsistency of yours compounded to suit the case in the opposing plaintiff/defendant favour, while making you look completely guilty.
These are discrepancies on the basis Suarez is being cross examined is a language he barely understands, the disrespancy regarding Dalglish and Comolli happened just after the game when everyone were confused and did not understand what were happening, and regarding Kuyt, there are three languages involved and the added complexity is obvious. I would have been amazed if there were clear cut consistency on the events in question with the people who have barely anything to do with legal matters.
Apart from this and its related points, the case seems to be entirely on the word of one man.
It's tough time for the club. Either the club has to launch a strong legal action against Man Utd., FA, and Evra for defamation and bringing agony (if Suarez version of events is true) or face a massive, and indeed massive and shambolic embarrassment in our defense of Suarez (if Evra's version of events is true).
A massive ban should be there for either one of the players depending on whose version is fabricated (indeed more than 8 games for Suarez if he's guilty; in fact there should be police action too), that's all I would say.
