BBC Sport - Football Association report says Luis Suarez evidence 'unreliable'

3 hrs later after reading the bbc article and blogging below I just found a slightly more biased view on Skysports. Interesting.

I have just read through this article from BBC and in my opinion neither Suarez nor Evra acted admirably in the argument. What I am left with after reading quite a bit on this story is this: 8 games is to much when both were clearly in the wrong.

Lastly I would ask people that objective in the matter this; is it ok to talk derogatory about someone's sister more than talk derogatory about someone's backround or colour of skin?

Both should be punished and consistency in punishment of these offences is key if you are going to start dealing with them. The same goes for for swearing which is a much bigger problem in English football and should be dealt with along with these other issues.

The fact is trash talking has gone on for long periods of time and to crack down on unreasonable trash talk is hard to do because it becomes a he said, she said kind of game...

FA unfortunately got this wrong but I would suggest both should be punished an equal number of games.
