re: Liverpool FC 2011/12 Season Thread

Truth is had Suarez shaken evra's hand the media would jump on that it's an admission of guilt story, Suarez was always going to lose today

Yep I already posted those pictures in the matchday thread.

No matter what anyone says, I think that is pretty fricking clear.

It doesn't even matter for me though. The handshake shouldn't have happened and I wouldn't have shaken his hand either. And that isn't homerism, its me being honest about my pride.

Whatever. It is behind us now. The only reason it is still relevant is the media.

Now we can look forward to the FA cup and a much needed trophy the next weekend

Rio has to apologize for nothing. How he's dragged into this, I don't understand. He sees Suarez not shake Evra's hand, so he doesn't shake his. Simple and absolutely nothing wrong with it.

This whole situation is absurd. Even if Suarez completely snubbed Evra, Evra's theatrics caused the mass hysteria. I hate JT but when he was snubbed, he took it like a man and shook the next guy's hand. Why make a big deal out of it?

I'll say it one more time, if Suarez doesn't respect Evra then he shouldn't have shook his hand. He didn't give in to the hypocritical and racist British society.

And don't let the apologies from this morning make you think otherwise. Those were destined to come out, no matter what happened.

If there were any question about who is the most polarizing figure in football at the moment, Luis Suarez answered them at Old Trafford on Saturday. In the span of some 90 minutes, the controversial Uruguayan refused to shake Patrice Evra's hand before the opening whistle, found himself at the center of a tunnel bust-up at halftime, petulantly kicked the ball into the stands on one occasion and toward the touchline past Evra on another, and scored an improbable goal in the 80th minute against the run of play. Before the game, the police confiscated thousands of copies of a United fanzine that contained a poor "joke" for fear that it would stir up further racial hatred. And after the final whistle blew, giving Manchester United a deserved 2-1 victory, Evra sprinted down the pitch to celebrate with the fans right in front of Suarez, causing another moment of tension between the two sides, all before Sir Alex Ferguson branded the striker a "disgrace."

Absolutely comical the twisting the media is giving the entire situation.

Agreed. And the saddest thing is how most of England is just taking what is spoon fed them by the media. I would bet anything that not one of the regular posters on this board would shake Evra's hand after what happened. I sure as hell wouldn't. It's not that big of a fricking deal. People are acting like Suarez punched him in the face as he passed.

Since when did everyone become such pussies? Who cares? I didn't care when Evra jumped around like a fricking idiot in front of Luis after the game. He had the right to. I think the only reason it's such a big deal is because the media is making a shite storm about it.

I hate to say it, but I think he may be gone by the summer, and it might be the best for the club. It's just a shame that it had to happen because everyone is such vaginas about something they shouldn't even spend a passing moment on. This entire this is over a hand shake. A HAND SHAKE. Everyone needs to grow some nuts and chill the frick out. It really isn't a big deal.

The man should never be taken seriously in criticism again. By his philosophy Giggs, Rooney, Keane, Rio, and Cantona (5 of his love children) would have been booted from the club with all ties severed and a dishonorable legacy maintained.

What a fricking joke of a human being.

Personally closing the book on whether he is guilty or not and who is right or wrong, I'd like to look at a slightly different aspect of the situation.

Do you guys think Liverpool are better off parting ways with Suarez over the summer? Is it in the best interest of the club to wipe the slate clean at this point?

No. I am completely against this idea. He is a world class talent that isn't worth giving up over Manchester United.

Strangely enough, Sir Alex of all people (as posted by the picture above) had the same idea. He kept Cantona and Keane after those fiascoes, and that club recovered face. I guess it would really depend on how Luis can rebound from this. Is he going to let it ruin him? Or rise above it?

I read somewhere that apparently Gerrard was absolutely furious at Suarez for how he conducted himself throughout the game. If you have Steven mad at you, that can't be any good for the locker room. If that is the case then this problem may be much bigger than appears.
