KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Alan Hansen spot on

This is a real shame, liverpool fans are actually letting the media and united get to them with all this talk of Suarez being a disgrace bla bla bla. Evra is a 2 faced [oops] whose antics got Suarez banned for 8 matches and fined 40 thousand pounds. Would you shake someones hand after they caused you to suffer such injustice? I wouldn't. I would say many many things about Evra right now, but unfortunaley my comments would get censored. Suarez did what he felt was right, he had no need to shake Evra's hand, and no intention, neither would I! How can you let the popular media affect your thinking like this. This is exactly what Fergie wanted, Liverpools own fans turning against one of their star players. WAKE UP PEOPLE! You are allowing the media to make your mind up for you, start using your grey matter, start thinking!

100% BEHIND LUIS SUAREZ!!!! DON'T TAKE ANY CRAP FROM THOSE LYING [oops]!

Excellent^^^
I'm disgusted with that dirty disgusting termite evra, his vile two faced gaffer, the sweet fa, and ALL of these do gooder ar5e holes that are continuing to give the already mentally tormented Luis, so much unwarranted grief.
You all seem to think that it's SO big and clever to kick someone when he's already down it seems.
You Suarez 'bashers'make me want to puke, violently.

I for one would have been grossly disappointed if he had touched that evil scum bags hand.

+1, I just want to hug you, in a manly non-gay kinda way...

just want to hug you, in a manly non-gay kinda way

be care mate, those words might get you a 8 match ban and 40,000 fine

This saga has so many edges it makes my head ache, the biggest mistake here has been the FA allowing what was said in that report being made public,simply because it wasn't a real court of justice and therefore should have been a completely private concern which amounted to no more than a name calling incident,i don't condone racist taunts at all, in this case though if it was criminal enough to warrant a ban under the guise of racial abuse then it should have been referred to the police, if it wasn't then it should have been put down to name calling,OK punish him for name calling,Evra too as he apparently called Suarez names aswell, i hoped Suarez could overlook the fact that he feels aggrieved by the mess but could maybe put it behind him but as we seen he simply cant bring himself to it. With that i feel it needs further investigation as to the huge problems this mess has caused, i don't blame Suarez for how he feels he must do what he feels is right, although we all know the damage is done.One thing that doesn't seem clear is the fact that kenny seemed confused and i feel if Suarez misled Kenny and the club as to his intentions about the hand shake then he must be punished for that.I dont think Suarez or the club will come away from this in a good light, no matter what now some players though IE ferdinand are getting away with not shaking hands, one rule for one and another rule for others. Again too may edges.

best post I have read yet on this subject so far

I have just figured out how it works now at last.


Suarez not
shaking hands = correct = proper Liverpool fan

shaking hands = not correct = spineless fan, yellow fan, united fan, evertonian e.t.c.

Dalglish Interview = correct = proper fan, worlds against us, " you'll never walk alone " Shanks, Paisley, Field's of Anfield Road e.t.c

Dalglish Interview = not correct = evertonian, United fan, stuck up Fergie's, media ar*e e.t.c.

Fans feeling uncomfortable about Suarez yesterday = correct = United or Everton fans, no backbone, letting fergie, the F.A., the media influence and dictate to you.

Fans feeling uncomfortable about Suarez yesterday = incorrect = true fans, we need more of this, great solidarity, shows the true meaning of Liverpool Football Club, 4th place if we can make this siege mentality last until the end of the season until we sign Messi in the summer.

Well I have gathered this information just by reading fans views on this particular post and have come to the conclusion if this is what our fan base is now all about, we are finished as a football Club, mediocrity here we come like our League position suggests. I think even the most biased Liverpool fan will admit all that yesterday was caused by Suarez and could of been avoided by a quick meaningless handshake, there is a famous saying which goes " A good reputation can take years to nurture, but only hours to overturn " we could do well to remember that.

Evra played him? Yes. Is Evra a pr!ck? Yes. Does Suarez look like a fool? Yes. Does King Kenny? Yes. Does LFC? Yes.

I can happily agree that what Suarez did was right for Suarez, but can anyone please explain to me how what Suarez did was right for the club? Because Suarez is not bigger than the club, but our name is being dragged through the mud again because of him. People might have sided with LFC over the FA hearing, but the non-handshake would make neutrals doubt.

All he had to do was put on a show of putting his hand out there, and waiting for Evra to take it or not. He couldn't do that, so he set himself up to look like a petty fool. It's not rocket surgery, guys - Evra called his bluff and won.

Worse, Kenny didn't watch the handshake, and no one told him what happened, so he had egg all over his face during the post-match interview. Say whatever disgusting things you like about Evra's character (and I'll be the first to agree with you), but this was an opportunity to show we really had moved on from the FA assassinating the character of our club and our star player. Yet we fcked it up, allowing the media the opportunity to have a full go at us again.

I don't know how much readership the Telegraph has but THIS got a lot more views than you would like, and if you go through the comments there are not a lot of people saying Evra pulled a fast one. That is why I say they outplayed us off the pitch - the FA just got the biggest admission of guilt they could have hoped for, straight from the horse's mouth in front of millions of viewers.

All he had to do was put his hand there and wait, exactly the way his manager said he would. But instead we took the bait; hook, line, and sinker.

+1. I find myself astonished that I agree with you for once. But you are 100% correct. Sometimes you have to pay the piper, and we didn't = epic fail.

I have already mentioned that a handshake would have made everyone else life easier.
Imagine this.

Someone walks up to you, punches you then says sorry it is a case of mistake identity, then offers you a handshake.

Would you accept?

point i'm making is, if you feel you have been wronged, then it hard is to accept.
