Liverpool re Suarez - recent events

I'm not going to dive into the whole "was he being racist?" debacle because I think that's been covered enough. What I did want to say is that Liverpool as a football club over the years have been a huge force in English football and rightfully have a fan base world over. It's massively sad to see now though how they are conducting themselves in light of this Suarez/Evra "saga".

In my eyes, Liverpool should never have blindly backed Suarez in the way that they did. At the time, he was innocent until proven guilty yes, but the tacky t-shirts and the ignorant stance by Dalglish made me feel very uncomfortable. What's made me feel even more uncomfortable however is the way they had again blindly backed him AFTER he'd been found guilty. Dalglish's press conferences are sarcastic and paranoid. Why he thinks the world is out to get him I don't know but with each interview I watch, I lose more respect for him.

Regarding Saturdays events at Old Trafford I thought at the time that Suarez was right not to shake his hand if he didn't want to. After this sort of situation, I don't feel that he "had" to, however after learning that zsuarez did state he WOULD shake Evra's hand, I believe Suarez to be in the wrong for that.

People do forget in this though that Evra himself isn't the nicest of characters and although I'm notnsuggesting for one minute he deserved any sort of racial abuse, his grab at the handshake and the celebrations afterwards went to show the sort of guy is really is.

If I were a black Liverpool fan, I wouldn't have felt comfortable at all during any of this as I believe they have a duty of care to their black fans too which seems to have been totally lost in their blind backing of Mr Suarez.

It's massively baffling this morning however to read that the club have done a total 180 on Suarez from backing him blindly to hanging him out to dry by releasing a statement basically blaming him for misleading them as if to shift all the blame from the club and manager back onto Suarez, nice work!

I hope this rumbles on, I hope that they get a scare if not an upset at home to Brighton next week and I hope they enter the cup final feeling massive pressure. They are not the club they should be and the world is now seeing it,

I've always hated Liverpool.

Many reasons.

1. S Wales plastics who took piss out of me in 80s for following crappy old cardiff
2. Their fans think they have a divine right to success
3. Heysel Stadium disaster-had it been Millwall, Cardiff or West Ham then imagine press reaction
4. Since 80s the amount of cheating by its players-fall over in box at kop end=penalty. Barnes, Suarez and Gerrard are worse culprits.
5. The way the media licks their backsides and no doubt in next 2 weeks the final will be all about them and not us.
6. Scousers are an English version of jacks-hard done by (Cardiff/Manchester gets everything etc)

Daglish and Suarez have brought shame to their club for how they have dealt with this! its ok coming out now and saying they are sorry, but they should have done that 2 months ago when the incident happened and it would never have got to this stage!

Liverpool clearly don't have a PR manager but if they did he should be shot.

The club is a disgrace to football.

and rightfully have a fan base world over

Can you explain that bit?

Yeah of course, they are the second most successful English team behind Utd and have always actively marketed their success very well throughout the world, especially in Asia which has obviously lead to huge revenue streams from merchandise etc. Ta successful team will always generate fans and that's the reason why so many 40 year olds are Liverpool fans because 20-25 years ago, they were at the height of their power
