greeting used by a black or spanish person from a ghetto back ground

a greeting used from a minority to greet a friend some of the friends can be white if there from a ghetto background and note to white people dont say it back unless ur from a black or spanish decent


Before reading this (Urban Dictionary) I wondered if there was anything in Latin American Spanish that might excuse Suarez. I'm not saying this does (assuming he used the word), but I wonder if Evra mistook the context in which it was used? Clutching at straws probably.

It's hard to believe, if the accustaions are true, that such behavious still exists, but it is still rife in places like Eastern Europe. On the the flip side of the coin, waving an imaginary card around is not like to win much support from anybody. Not as despicable as racial abuse but unwelcome nontheless.
What Evra may have done is immaterial when Suarez is alleged to be using racist language. The football authorities have worked hard to stamp out racism from the game. If Suarez is found guilty and it should be easy to prove using video evidence and a lip reader then a lengthy ban (minimum 12 months) is in order. This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated in the modern game.

I've not suggested for one moment that the "alleged" racism, and let's not forget it is just that at the moment, but I don't like to see cheating, diving, nor do I like to see the imaginary card being brandished. All forms of bad sportsmanship.

Brandishing the imaginary card is just a reminder to the referee to make sure he/she follows the rules of the game. No different to a victim reporting an alleged criminal matter to a Police Officer.


I'll bet Suarez, the cheating scum bag, has branded imaginary cards in his career.

"Brandishing the imaginary card is just a reminder to the referee to make sure he/she follows the rules of the game. No different to a victim reporting an alleged criminal matter to a Police Officer"


"Please Mr Policeman, that man hit me, honest he did, quick, put the cuffs on him and if he struggles make sure to thump him, go on....."

Likely to happen if the offender is Black and the victim is White.

I'm afraid it seems you're ill informed of Suarez's history, Otta. Your stereotype claim is without foundation.


Evra has been a pro in this country for many years. It doesn't make sense for someone of Evra's ilk to make something up.


I applaud Evra for making a stand against racism and to threaten Evra with punishments for reporting such an incident is just as bad as the original offence itself.


A Norwich fan was banned for life for using the same racist word on his twitter account. I hope this sets the precedent for Suarez's punishment if found guilty.

I'm of the view that it happened, as I don't think I've ever seen Evra wound up to that extent before. He wasn't acting. Suarez has some crazy history behind him. United don't seem to want to push it though. Fergie realises that if he didn't distance himself from this being a club thing as opposed to it being personal, it would lead to poorer relations between the clubs.

If there was racism, I applaud Evra too, and I never even hinted that he should be punished for raising it. I said he should be punished if it turns out to be lies.


The stereotype comment was directed at your comment about the police bashing black people. That sort of thing has no place on a thread about football thanks.


Regarding Suarez, you're right, I know nothing of his past, and as I've already said, if guilty, then a severe punishment should be handed down. Having a past doesn't necessarily mean he's guilty of racism though, and I don't believe in condemning people before the evidence has been properly reviewed.

It seems, Otta, that you live a sheltered life. I've seen the Police behaved badly towards Black people and frankly hearing your poorly informed statements just makes me wonder whether you find the issue between black people and the police difficult to comprehend.


Moving on, Suarez is not exactly known for his honesty on the pitch and concern that Liverpool has chosen to support this vile person by claiming Evra had made up his allegation.


I've never said Suarez was guilty of racism but with video evidence and witness statements from Evra's team mates does not bode well for the Suarez's cause.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
