Luis Suárez

[Alex]

Oh on that. I thought you meant after the sanction. I was thinking about the tshirts.

[Shaggy]

Not sure on that mate. BR has backed him quite a few times in public when loads of people have said Suarez dives. Even remember Rodgers saying no one says anything about Bale etc and they pick on Suarez.

For Suarez to come out and then say "Yeah I dived to try and win a game", Rodgers looks like a mug. Suarez was hung out to dry on the racism storm I agree. But he should have kept his mouth shut on this diving storm

Phil Neville admitted he dived, there wasn't any of this circus then.

Whatever our opinion on this, it's a ****ing sorry mess.

That I agree on. We know there is hypocrisy in the press when it comes to diving etc.

Something that is pretty clear is that none of our players are being given any guidance on what to say and what not to say in public. Or they are but they are just totally stupid

[Vermilion]

Did Suarez actually say in his interview that he dived, or did he say he manufactured a foul ? As in making sure he was caught in the area ?

[Shaggy]

We are a shambles.

Personally I'm starting to wonder if he's a bit thick.

It's all very well refusing to play the game, but he's ultimately making it so much harder for himself.

The more I think about it...

Was gonna say the same.

Could Rogers not have said no comment , or words to that affect

[Fredo]

Or maybe the press as a whole here are .... well, for not understanding the gamesmanship element of the game.

Yes, but diving is not seen as acceptable is it.

And Rodgers has been defending Suarez to the hilt.

And now Suarez has somewhat undermined that.

So yes, he deserves to be reprimanded, and Rodgers should be seen to be doing it imo.

It's not exactly a surprising reaction by the press is it?

On one hand he's having a go at them, and on the other hand he's giving them ample free ammunition.

Just wish that we could go back to the days of talking about the football instead of diving, racism, ownership etc.

Rodgers backed him big time when all and sundry were calling Suarez a diver. Now Suarez has admitted to diving, he has to say something. The person at fault here is Suarez. He could have just commented on the handball and the general media bias and be done with it

[Maxiedge]

My god, Suarez is so ****ing thick. Great footballer, but a complete PR disaster.

I know what you mean but come on, is there anything that bad to make such a meal of it? This has been happening for years and not just with Suarez. They just don't like him and he doesn't like them.

You can understand he would speak about his frustrations to the press in his home country right? It's not as if he is speaking to the press here all the time.
