Liverpool oldham what was said

Liverpool released a statement saying they "will continue to work with the police to establish the details of what actually happened. The incident comes two days after Liverpool forward Luis Suarez issued an partial public apology following his eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

The Uruguay international was also fined 40, Pounds for calling Evra a "negro" or "negros" in October during the draw at Anfield. Suarez apologized on Wednesday for causing offence, but again denied that his conduct amounted to a racist act. Oldham manager Paul Dickov had yet to speak to Adeyemi about what happened, but said his reaction was instructive.

Adeyemi was visibly upset by the exchange and it required several team-mates, the Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, and the referee, Neil Swarbrick, to calm him down. He was booked seconds later for a wild foul on the Liverpool substitute John Flanagan. A witness who gave evidence to Liverpool officials and the police said: "I was to the right of the Kop and the No11 turned to walk away after a tackle. I heard a single voice shout, 'You fucking black bastard.

Merseyside police said that arrests were made at the game but not in relation to the alleged abuse of Adeyemi. A statement said: "Merseyside police can confirm that no one has been arrested this evening on suspicion of racially aggravated behaviour during tonight's FA Cup fixture at Anfield. However, the force and Liverpool Football Club are investigating following an incident that occurred during the second half of the game.

The aim of the investigation is to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident to ascertain if any action needs to be taken. The Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, was not able to comment. The referee notified the fourth official, who then notified the police. The CPS said that after police interviews with Adeyemi and the suspect, and viewing "enhanced" CCTV footage, there was insufficient evidence to bring any criminal charges.

In police interviews he admitted shouting at the player, but denied it was of a racial nature. Witness statements from others in the crowd "tend" to support the man's version of events, the CPS said.
