We discuss racism in football after the FA cup ties between Manchester United and Liverpool and QPR and Chelsea. We also talk to Amal Fashanu, the niece of Justin Fashanu who was the only openly gay footballer in the Premier League, about homophobia in the game. And we hear the latest from the Africa Cup of Nations

Good job, Wayne. Came across very well.
The FA made the Suarez case much worse by making a mock court to decide the outcome. It was neither independent nor fair. Not that the media cares about that of course. They labeled Suarez a racist long time before the hearing.
Why the hell haven’t they got it yet? Is the message so hard to get across?! If Suarez was found guilty of racism based on physical evidence in form of video or sound, then yes, every Liverpool supporter would accept FA’s conclusion. But when the FA publicly admits they judged Suarez based on their subjective opinions, whether or not the word negrito had a racist meaning behind it, even tho several public people from Uruguay went out in the media and said this was rubbish, we can’t accept it…
No real court in the world would judge a person guilty without evidence first. You don’t judge someone guilty because you FEEL they are. Suarez and Evra got in some tough duels where Evra supposedly got his knee hurt. Suarez tried to apologize and give Evra a gentle pat on the head when Evra responded with “Don’t touch me south-american!”… And Suarez replied “Calm down brother(negrito)” in his own language since the man didn’t know a word English Evra is a liar and intentionally banned Suarez
