Suarez to "probably" be guilty while in the same manner deciding to completely dismiss the testimony that countered their overall suppositions.
It is for this reason that we will not appeal the eight-game suspension of Luis Suarez. Suarez' second game back after the ban was an away game at Manchester United on 11 February Suarez caused controversy from the start by refusing to shake hands with Patrice Evra before kick-off.
At half time, Suarez viciously struck the ball at the Manchester United dugout and there was said to be a scuffle between the two sides in the tunnel during the break. At the final whistle, after a Man Utd victory, Patrice Evra celebrated with a lap of honour of the pitch, which ended with him celebrating directly in front of Suarez, however Suarez did not react.
Suarez' snub of Evra's handshake was met with widespread condemnation. He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. He could have caused a riot. It transpired that Suarez had actually promised Dalglish before the game that he would shake Patrice Evra's hand.
As a result, Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre said in a statement "We are extremely disappointed Luis Suarez did not shake hands with Patrice Evra before yesterday's game.
It was a tough, tough, tough time. Even when we played in the Champions League final, when I was playing for Juventus, I shook his hand in the corridor and spoke to him.

In the end, he admitted it and he was banned for eight games, and he had a massive fine. Football fans will remember the infamous Premier League match in between Liverpool and Manchester United when Luis Suarez was accused of racist language directed at Patrice Evra.
It was an ugly moment to witness as a football fan, and the controversy around the incident is not a positive memory for anyone. Goal has what you need to know about what happened between Suarez and Evra in I recalled that the referee had called us over at one point. Evra had come looking for me at a corner asking me why I had kicked him. It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked. He initiated the argument and he chose to do so in Spanish.
What some people will never want to accept is that the argument took place in Spanish. As I am now fully aware and I did not even know this at the time , in English there is a word that is spelled the same way but is pronounced differently and it is highly offensive: negro, pronounced nee-gro.
It is not in itself an insult. Just names based on physical characteristics, nothing more. But nor was it ever meant as a racist slur.
And I certainly never said, and never would say, that I would not talk to Evra, or anyone, because they are black. But nobody had time for these subtleties when I was being condemned for racism. He changed the accusation later but the stigma of me being someone who would use such an abusive term stuck. But he was the only one that heard it and even he was not sure what he had heard. I had said it once, in the context I have explained above, without intending any racist meaning at all.
But on the basis of his accusation I was found guilty. I told Comolli what had happened. He then told Kenny Dalglish and they both told the referee and it was that version that went to the hearing.
