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.
