Interesting read, not saying it's true, before RR starts picking holes in it.
1) Video evidence is unnecessary, Suarez confessed to using the term negro and pinching Evra, the meaning was what was up to interpretation, video evidence would not have been helpful.
2) There are several facts in the case, but the most important ones are up to interpretation. Judgement on anything other than facts helps Luis Suarez's case, as the fact is that he used the term 'Negro' towards Evra. That fact is undisputed, the interpretation is the only thing that could have got Luis Suarez off.
3) Unsubstantiated rumours.
4) So what?
5) Any patriotic Uruguayan would be biased towards Luis Suarez
6) Lie.
7) That is the opinion of the panel. There is no requirement of absolute proof.
Suarez's defence tried to argue that Commoli misinterpreted what Suarez had said in Spanish, and Deadly Dirk misinterpreted what he had said in Dutch.
9) Probably true, he is French, and has no direct interest in the result of the hearing
10) He used the language in excess of 5 times
11) They have followed the recommendations of the linguistic experts. Pinches are pretty aggressive body language by the way, which is something Luis Suarez admitted to doign
12) Nuances of Spanish language
13) Nuances of translation between Spanish, French and English
14) Irrelevant, no rule exists regarding continental insults
15) Blatant lie, the commission accepted that information
16) It is not in Ferguson's interest to see Suarez receive a long ban, particularly not a ban that expires immediately before a game at Old Trafford.
Hope that helps.
