No they accused him of using racist language. He admitted to using the words but disputes the context. It appears the FA spent a lot of time consulting spanish and south american language experts to judge the context.

This is exactly why the club have reacted as they have. The shock for everyone is that a club has actually stood up to the FA.

No. Chelsea did the same, stuck up for their player. They managed to do so without attacking the accusers or Anton Ferdinand.
The shock is how Liverpool questioned Evra's character despite Suárez's admission he did say the word. Even if you believe everything Liverpool had said, Evra was not to know about the 'South American meaning' of the word he used. So why Liverpool still decided to attack him in an official press release is beyond me.
