Liverpool at their most entertaining!
Highlight for me was that it turns out that Daglish played a role in contradicting and screwing over Suarez.

[304]If that is correct, it would suggest that Mr Dalglish understood Mr Suarez's comment to be in the nature of retaliation for having been called "South American". But that would suggest that the riposte "You are black" was used in a derogatory sense, which is contrary to Mr Suarez's case.

Suarez ... well what can you say? I was pinching him to try and defuse the situation. LOL!
Then it gets better! The FA asks his lawyer why he would say something so silly as pinching him to defuse the situation and the best response he can come up with is .... umm bad drafting of the statement, that's not what he meant! (section 250) .... after assuring the FA that care was taken over drafting of the witness statement.
Then the whole (I'm fluent in Spanish) director of football thing reporting what was said to the referee only to later say that maybe he didn't hear correctly is laughable.
Deserves the eight matches simply for the gongshow of a defence.
