Yeah, he has his daughters name tattooed on his wrist. He kisses his wrist for his daughter, and his ring for his wife. It's unbelievable that they would believe he done that to provoke a reaction from Mansfield.
Sigh....Doc you were saying there's been no over reaction? He seems to forget that Messi himself once deliberately scored a goal with his hand. [video=youtube;4ZgvdfrQPe4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZgvdfrQPe4[/video] Far more blatantly might I also add. This is actually James Lawtons THIRD article on the matter. The man is utterly obsessed in Suarez.
It's ridiculous, hyperbolic, malicious and above all hypocritical, as you've demonstrated above. These same journalists who readily condemn Suarez's every action are amongst the same ones who ask "is calling somebody a black c*nt really racist", the same ones who compare him to the Jew hating fascist Ezra Pound, the same ones who campaign for him to be shunned should he ever be nominated for an award. These people have no shame - nor integrity - and write shite like that because the mindless masses will lap up every word like gospel and continue to stick the boot in Luis, Liverpool and the fans. We know Suarez is a questionable character, we know he cheats but what team doesn't have these sort of players? The Manchester United fans who condemn us celebrate questionable characters like Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs. They sing for cheats like Ashley Young and Paul Scholes. The Chelsea fans who condemn us revel in "lionheart" Terry's "bravery" and overlook his own questionable actions. The Everton fans who condemn us sing for criminals like Duncan Ferguson. The Spurs fans stick by Bale. The Arsenal fans rank their unbeaten season atop all other achievements despite it being preserved by cheats and still sing for Henry despite cheating a nation out the world. You could go on and on. I do wonder, will there be moral quest for "the right thing" to be done next weekend when there'll inevitably be a questionable goal? Will there f*ck. Football will continue as normal until they can milk a little bit more "controversy" from Suarez. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. I've criticized Suarez multiple times but enough is a enough. It's time to drop the moral crusade and faux outrage.
Really cannot be arsed trawling through every single post but am sure there are many slagging off L/S. The next time your team scores a goal that is not 100% legit then i expect your team to surround the ref and tell him to cancel out the goal. Bet your team has never ever ever shouted for a corner when it is so obvious that the goalkeeper was no where near it. People in glass houses should not throw stones.
No mention of the fan going on the pitch to confront Suarez. Strange considering fan behaviour has been in the public spotlight recently. Guess it doesn't matter. Some of the press in this country are diabolical. Not just for the cleat agenda but for lack of basic knowledge. Lawton's piece is cringeworthy. Even worse are the sports writers who have failed to notice Suarez, second top scorer in the league, celebrates in the same way every time he scores.
I've argued it so many times over people getting on their high horses over different aspects of cheating, when you actually apply logic to it then you realise the hypocrisy of it. Defender handles the ball in the box and gets away with it - is he a despicable cheat? Player deliberately fouls an opponent to stop him running through on goal - is he a despicable cheat? Attacker steals 5 yards on a free kick - is he a despicable cheat? Player shouts and screams a throw-in or a corner even though it clearly came off him - is he a despicable cheat? Player shouts for a handball in the box even though it came off the player's chest - is he a despicable cheat? But so many times other players handle the ball in scoring a goal and there's never any fuss about it - maybe the manager will moan about the ref and that'll be it. Hypocrisy is everywhere.
The next time a team wins a very very dodgy penalty i will expect the player that takes the kick to deliberately pass it to the goalkeeper as he will be so overcome with guilt in winning a very contentious spotkick. There will never ever be any shirt pulling when a corner kick is swung into the goal area as the whole footballing world will change their ways. In work last night an Everton fan was going on and on about Liverpool could only beat little Mansfield by cheating. Is this the same Everton that have some Belgian who recently attempted to headbutt a Stoke player and got a three match ban. Nah there must be another Everton.
I remember when we signed Suarez and an Evertonian was calling him a cheat for what he did at the World Cup and calling him for everything over it. I asked him what about when Phil Neville did a one-handed diving save on the line in the last minute of a derby and then got a standing ovation from 30,000 Evertonians as he was sent off and trudged off the pitch? He scoffed and changed the subject. A bit like when Moyes was calling Suarez a diver in the build-up to the last derby and who got booked for diving in the match? Phil Neville. Moyes was fuming, not out of any great moral fibre, but because he was made to look foolish.
While I see that the press do overreact to everything Suarez does, it seems just as outrageous that many Liverpool fans treat him as if he is an absolute angel that can do no wrong. He doesn’t exactly help himself does he? I’ll list a few incidents: - His seven match ban for biting an opposition player. - The deliberate handball off the line at the 2010 World Cup against Ghana (and the celebration that followed after the missed penalty) - The racism incident with Evra, say what you want…but un PC comments WERE made. - Inappropriate gesturing to fans which led to a one match ban. - The handball against Mansfield. - Numerous diving incidents. All this at the age of 25, I know the press do on the case with him a lot more but he really doesn’t help his cause. Most of the above is undeniable in my opinion and if Suarez wants to become less susceptible to negative press he should change his attitude. Sadly though I feel it could almost be too late now with all the shit he has pulled off in the past, the press are what they are and of course they sensationalise...if you want to not be the victim of this then keep your head down and avoid controversy!
yup i saw it he was apprehended and arrested and charged quiterightly i also saw with my own eyes liverpool fans who was in the wrong end spitting at young fans 2 rights do not make a wrong he isnt a regular and is just a local looney tune
Even if he did keep his head down and avoided all the publicity, no doubt the press would find something to pin on him. Once you've got the reputation, it's very hard to shake it.
Oh yeah I agree with that, but he's dug his grave so maybe it's time to lay in it? I know it seems harsh but there are plently of players that pull of the shit Suarez has done on the odd occasion and have escaped with minimal press because it is regarded as an isolated incident, this isn't the case with him. He has done a lot of controversial stuff in his relatively short career. I wouldn't say Suarez gets all negative press either, his performances this season have been critically acclaimed by a majority of the press and rightfully so, he's been awesome. I just think they take a similar view to what I do on him - What a player and one of my favourite players to watch in the whole league...but my word, what a unlikable little bastard. He is your Cristiano Ronaldo, loved by own fans and hated by everyone else, you just need to accept that.
There are players/ex players out there with worse rap sheets than that yet escape the vilification he gets. Oh, it's now changed from spitting at woman (like you said previously) to spitting at kids? We're still waiting for info on the pub Liverpool fans supposedly smashed up? Strange thing is, the only fan arrested was a Mansfield one Me thinks you like to bullshit a lot.
Care to name some? some that have managed to do this much over the period of only (approx) four years? I for one don't doubt by the end of his career we will have seen a fair few more controversial incidents involving him.
Just read the 2nd James Lawton character assassination of Luis Suarez in the Independent today. It just made my blood boil that this effin United fan is able to pour his spite out in what should be a quality paper with a load of effin nonesense. Show him the door & pack him off to the Frank McGee home for retired sports reporters who are closet United fans. No one has written a decent report on what was a great game played in a great spirit that had everything.
Roy Keane had 10 red cards & Ronnie Rohnaldo went down quicker in penalty area than $10 hooker whilst writting off an expensive motor car. Luis has a lot of catching up to do.
He did the kung fu kick and had some sending offs, he was more of a fruitcake generally though. I'm sure he did recieve some stick from the press but hard to find as was so long ago. I'd regard two deliberate handballs in in just over 2 years, one being a match winner and one being a match saver as incidents that are worth being noted when judging his character on the football pitch, not sure why you quoted "offences" when I didn't even use that word in my post? You can't deny he has had a career that has been full of little incidents like this and that is why he is more suspectible to articles being written about him when he does wrong. It's the way of the world, it isn't just exclusive to Liverpool FC and Luis Suarez. You guys need to stop treating it like such a witch hunt and just accept that he is as guilty of bringing it on himself as the press are of villifying him. Ronaldo has been slammed many times for going down too early throughout his career, just like Luis has and we all know about Roy Keanes red cards, he was punished and suspended for them? not sure what else you want from situations like that?
Oh, is that all he did? So you're ignoring the fact he attacked a referee in France, chasing him off the pitch? You're ignoring that he smashed one of his own team mates in the face with a football boot, nearly blinding him? Together with numerous stamps, head butts and elbowing incidents? These are just a few of his offenses, when I get time I'll pull the full list, you'll be shocked, makes Suarez look like an angel.
