Powar calls on FA to punish Pool

THE head of European football’s anti-racism group has urged the FA to charge Liverpool with bringing the game into disrepute over their response to Luis Suarez’s eight-match ban.

Piara Powar, executive director ofEuropean football’s anti-discrimination body FARE, said Kenny Dalglish’scomments had been “undignified” and their reaction had damaged the club’s brand. “This is a lack of respect for the governing body by Liverpool and the FA should charge Liverpool FC and Kenny Dalglish,” he said.

“I think the FA should come back now and be very clear that Liverpool could be construed to have brought the game into disrepute by the way in which they have consistently undermined the judgement and by Kenny Dalglish’s comments.
