Wales and Cardiff striker Robert Earnshaw believes that racism is still rife in English football, but insists that Liverpool F.C forward Luis Suarez is innocent until proven guilty.
Earnshaw, who revealed that he has 'experienced racist abuse loads of times...even at certain grounds in this country', said:
"It's hard to comment [on the Evra-Suarez incident] because both players have their opinions and it might be crossed wires, we just don't know.

England did a football match against Wales last night. It wasn't particularly good, but they won 1-0 anyway chiefly because Ashley Young scored a goal and Robert Earnshaw, thankfully, spent the last few years under the tutelage of the Forest striker's coaches.

Welsh side Swansea City booked its place at Old Trafford after a frantic ending to its 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in a League Championship playoff semifinal at Liberty Stadium.
