The referee books Mr Evra. The corner came to nothing and the ball went out of play with Manchester United being awarded a goal-kick. As the players moved upfield, there was an exchange between Mr Evra and Mr Kuyt.
The referee called Mr Evra over and gave him a yellow card. Mr Giggs spoke to the referee about the caution and then spoke to Mr Evra. The evidence of Mr Marriner about this incident was as follows. In the 65th minute of the game he had to issue a caution to Mr Evra after he saw him push Mr Kuyt in the chest following a coming together.
Mr Evra was clearly upset and mentioned that he was being called "black". Mr Marriner did not hear whether Mr Evra said who was calling him "black" and he did not understand what Mr Evra was referring to at the time. Mr Evra made no other comment to the referee. Mr Evra described the booking in the following way. Mr Kuyt told him to stop diving so Mr Evra pushed him away. The referee called Mr Evra over to book him. Mr Evra asked the referee why he was booking him and the referee said it was because he had pushed Mr Kuyt.
When he was being booked, Mr Evra told the referee again that he had been called black. Mr Evra added that after booking him, the referee spoke to Ryan Giggs. Mr Giggs gave evidence before us. He said that he was reasonably close to the referee and after he had shown Mr Evra the yellow card, Mr Giggs approached the referee and asked him why he had booked Mr Evra. The referee said to Mr Giggs "just calm Patrice down". Mr Giggs then moved away from the referee and towards Mr Evra.
It was obvious to Mr Giggs from looking at Mr Evra that he was upset. He said that Mr Evra did not seem quite with it, you might call it red mist. Mr Giggs said to Mr Evra "what's happened? Mr Evra replied "he called me black". Mr Giggs said to Mr Evra "did the ref hear it? Mr Giggs then told Mr Evra to calm down and not get himself sent off. He said that after the goal-kick he was close to Mr Evra and said "Come on, let's move on, let's keep going with the game" and touched Mr Evra just on the arm.
According to Mr Kuyt, Mr Evra reacted aggressively and smashed his arm away and at that point, the referee having seen the incident, called Mr Evra to him and booked him. Mr Kuyt said that he was very close to Mr Evra and the referee at this time. He said he was "absolutely certain" that he heard Mr Evra say that the referee was only booking him because he was black. We found the evidence of Mr Marriner on this point to be credible and plausible.
He recalled Mr Evra telling him that he was being called black. This is consistent with Mr Evra's evidence of what he told Mr Marriner at that time, and also with Mr Giggs' evidence of what Mr Evra said to him shortly afterwards. In light of this we reject Mr Kuyt's evidence that Mr Evra said that the referee was only booking him because he was black, however certain Mr Kuyt was that he heard it.
Moreover, it would make no sense in the circumstances for Mr Evra to accuse the referee of only booking him because he was black. Mr Evra's comments to his team-mates. We received evidence from four of Mr Evra's team-mates about what happened immediately after the game. Their evidence was given in the form of written witness statements.
We proceeded, therefore, on the basis that the evidence contained in those witness statements is true and sets out what did, in fact, happen immediately after the game.
As the players went into the dressing room at the end of the game, Mr Evra was really angry and upset. Valencia said he could see it. He explained that Mr Evra is not normally angry after games. Mr Evra was speaking a mix of Spanish and Portuguese. All the Spanish and Portuguese players at Manchester United speak to each other like this so that they can all understand and talk to each other.
I think the words Evra used were words similar to "Negro, no hablas conmigo". He said this: "Although I was stood with the medical staff, I could clearly hear Evra as he was speaking loudly.
Nani said that he always sits close to Mr Evra in the dressing room and at the end of the game when he came into the dressing room, Mr Evra was upset. Evra said something like, "This is a joke. How is it possible that the referee does nothing when he knows what happened?
Anderson said that Mr Evra was really angry in the dressing room after the match. I think he used words similar to "no hablo con negro". Mr Evra said in evidence that some of the other players could see that he was upset and asked him what was wrong.
Valencia and Anderson told Mr Evra that he must tell the manager and go and see the referee because this was serious. Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr Evra speak to the referee. Sir Alex Ferguson provided a witness statement. Sir Alex was shocked and asked Mr Evra what he wanted to do about it. Sir Alex told him that he should report it to the referee and asked Mr Evra if he wanted to do that.
Sir Alex and Mr Evra went to the referee's room. Sir Alex went in first, followed by Mr Evra. Sir Alex told Mr Marriner that they had a complaint to make. Sir Alex told him "Evra has been called a nigger by one of the Liverpool players. The referee told Phil Dowd, the fourth official who was also in the room, to take notes of what was said. Mr Evra then told the referee what had been said to him on the pitch and left the room. The referee told Sir Alex that he the referee would need to speak to Liverpool officials about the complaint.
According to Mr Evra, the referee said to him "Oh, that is why you were talking about being called black", referring back to what Mr Evra had said to the referee on the pitch. Mr Evra said "Yes. He said that Sir Alex told him that he wished to register a formal complaint about a comment that was made to Mr Evra by a Liverpool player.
Sir Alex asked Mr Marriner to write down what they were about to say. Liverpool FC learn about Mr Evra's complaint. Liverpool have until January 13 to decide whether to appeal against the Uruguay forward's eight-match ban and 40,Pound fine, with both on hold since the December 20 verdict pending the outcome of any challenge.
Justifying the severity of the sentence, the commission said that there is likely to be a "corrosive effect on young football fans" if players are seen to racially abuse opponents.
Suarez's defence centered on a claim that the use of the word "negro" in Uruguay and other parts of Latin America is inoffensive in certain situations and used as a "friendly form of address to people seen as black or brown-skinned. But the panel found that Suarez's argument was "unsustainable," while Evra, a black France defender, was described as a "credible witness.
Suarez was condemned as giving "evidence that was unreliable in relation to matters of critical importance" over the incident during the draw. When Evra challenged him to repeat the answer and said he would "punch him", Suarez responded in Spanish: "I don't speak to blacks. After Evra threatened to hit him again, Suarez replied with a phrase that the report said translates as "OK, blackie, blackie, blackie".
The FA called in linguistic experts to assess Suarez's defence. They determined that his language on the pitch "would be considered racially offensive" anywhere.
