Suarez.

Exactly. Don't shake before the match, Kick lumps out of each other, then shake hands after the match. That is how it should be!

 

It was a Palace fan, it doesn't count.

 

:sign15:

 

Ha ha! Everyone hates Palace.

 

Agreed. How can Evra be the bad person here?! He WAS racially abused throughout the game back in October, he did incredibly well then to not smack the racist little goofy c**t in the side of the head! I would have, without question!! HE OFFERED to bury the hatchet with Suarez (fair play to him, because again, I wouldn't have) by shaking his hand and clearly the racist blanked him. Goes to show what a horrible little pr*ck he is.

Suarez had been found GUILTY! If there wasn't enough evidence, then he wouldn't have been suspended for 8 games. The FA had enough on him to dish out this punishment and yet he HASN'T apologised to Evra??? Shocking stuff.

I am certainly not Evra's biggest fan, nor am I Manchester United's in general, but he acted brilliantly today. He did nothing wrong at all. Ok, he may have over-celebrated at the end, but to be fair to him, it wasn't as if it was right in front of the away end, it was right down the other end of the pitch!!

In conclusion, Evra proved he was a real man by offering to shake his hand, Suarez proved what a little c**t he is by refusing!!

 

Evra taking Ferdinand out and nearly breaking his neck was classic,best tackle of the game.

 

Funny interpretation of 'welcomed with open arms', as I remember Cantona was issued a 4 month ban by Manchester United before the FA even got involved.

Its not as if Ferguson wore a t-shirt with Cantona's face on it and tried to further some ridiculous story that kung fu kicking people is a sign of friendship in France...

 

No, and he never said he was a disgrace and should never play for the club again either.

 

Why wasn't Suarez taken to court and punished?

 

He hardly 'welcomed him with open arms' though did he?

He independently issued the player with the appropriate punishment and then accepted the verdict of the FA to extend the ban, at no point did he question the FA, criticise their decision, attempt to condone Cantona's behaviour or belittle the victim.

'King' Kenny's behaviour during this entire episode has been deplorable and he could learn a lot from the way Ferguson handled the Cantona episode.

 

It will be more interesting to see if ferdinand shakes Terrys hand if he's found not guilty. obviously he thinks he is otherwise he could have stopped the whole affair from ever reaching court.

 

Evra reported the Suarez racism to the referee so it went through the FA

A fan reported Terry's racism directly to the police so it has become a criminal case, Ferdinand could not have 'stopped it reaching court' by any stretch of the imagination

 

Why didn't evra report it to the police so he can be rightly punished?

 

No idea, you'd have to ask Patrice Evra that question

 

Can we? Is he here in the studio?

 

What? you've lost me here

 

:whoosh:

 

Oh, it was a joke? Sorry but I dont find it funny when people try to vilify the victims of racial abuse

 

What? It was just the way you worded it when you said you'd have to ask him.

 

I haven't seen Simms this far out of his depth since he tried to talk politics a couple of months ago.

 

Come on JB. You and Ron are far better WUMs than this.

 

he only had suarez in sight and when I saw rio get head-planted, it added to the comedy value of that tackle

 

Suarez is an absolute disgrace.

 

If only Roy Keane was on the pitch to end Suarez' career, disgusting filthy little rat.

Liverpool FC, condoning racism.

 

Dalglish can defend the racist in public and pretend he's doing nothing wrong but he must know how despicably he's acted throughout this. The fact that Liverpool's players have barely attempted to back Suarez in public or on the pitch since they were forced to wear those t-shirts tells it's own story.

Dalglish needs to stop digging because he's just becoming more and more of a joke whilst Liverpool are being irrevocably damaged as a club. Dalglish and Liverpool are to blame for the continuing spates of racism that have surrounded Liverpool by essentially condoning it and painting Suarez as the victim and Evra as the perpetrator; they really should be ashamed of themselves. When even Alan Hansen is alluding to him being in the wrong on MOTD you know it's bad.

 

Kenny Dalglish is an utter idiot for his response to the questions about the handshake.

 

Suarez and Liverpool believe, rightly or wrongly, that he is innocent. Whilst I do not concur completely I believe that that as English is not his first language and he comes from a different culture this should have been taken into account more than it was.

Evra, has been throughout this (By Manure and Sir A) depicted as an innocent who has been wronged, this is IMO a long way away from the truth and Evra has done as much as Suarez to damage the situation.

John Barnes has come through with an interview on ESPN which makes complete sense to me:

I can't understand it at all. Lost any respect I once had for Dalglish. There's supporting your player when he goes into a 50/50 challenge and comes out looking like the bad guy, and then there's supporting your player when he is in the midst of a storm surrounding racism, and then makes it 10x worse by refusing a handshake that the victim offered in peace, so that the world could watch and this whole charade could be over.

I am very surprised, and angry at Dalglish.

 

Disagree. He played in the Netherlands for a number of years, he knows perfectly well what is and is not socially acceptable in Europe. Maybe he said it in the heat of the moment, but the punishment was a very fair one. Racism is wrong. Even if the person saying it does not mean it, these adults are unfortunately role models for the children in this country. When they misbehave, they must feel the full force of punishment. Anything less and children may think it's ok to be racist, when it is not.

 

Anyone see him wipe his shoulder after Valencia tapped him on it after he kicked the ball into the dugout area at end of 1st half. Blokes a disgrace and has completely taken the mick out of Dalglish and LFC after the support they gave him. Well done to Evra for celebrating right infront of him, cant blame him at all.
