Just seen that, it's a one year ban in today's climate and Marseille might void his contract.
Doesn't it depend on what transpired between the supporter and Evra?? Surely if some racist chant or super bad comment was involved, they needn't ban him for 1 year..

Huge ban incoming. Criminal charges? If you did that on the street you’d be in trouble.
Depends on the damage done, if he grazed him on the arm then its a non event. If he got a clean hit on his face, then Evra will definitely be in trouble.

I don't think so. There was intent to hurt him with studs on.

He'll probably retire by the end of the season anyway.

Pity it wasn't rat face Suarez he kicked :drool:

Intention is not that important, or rather intention has causality with effect.

If the fan wasnt hurt then a good lawyer will get Evra off with a slap on the wrist. A fine that Evra can pay off in a week most likely and some community service.

It will be argued that this is out of character, no criminal record, he's a positive influence in his local communtiy etc. and it would be convincing.

I was talking in terms of a football ban, not about him going to prison. :lol:

Players get that much stick these days that if the so called fans had spoken the same ouside they would get a right hook, but not in Evras case mind you :lol:

Pat is not going to do this without some serious provocation. I'm waiting to hear the details.

Hey now, remember what forum you're on. Evra is a god here.
No I hate the guy. But I get he’s a **** hero for United, just rubs me the wrong way. The French arrogance mixed in with his own personality is repulsive :lol:

Meh. I'll not criticize Evra for anything short of burning down an orphanage filled with kids.

He's going to get a lengthy ban from football for that, such a shame because he's been a fantastic player.

Does seem to have a few wires crossed in my opinion, the guy is crazy.

I seriously doubt Evra did this without incredibly high provocation.

If it's racism then the punishment for Evra should be minimal - for too long black players have been putting up with this disgraceful, cowardly garbage with clubs getting pointless fines etc.
This :devil:

Lucky for him he’s quite old!
