That's always been true (e.g. Bryan Robson, Alan Shearer, etc.) but I agree, it is an injustice.

Kenny on Suarez and FA charge

Kenny Dalglish today reiterated that Luis Suarez has the full support of everyone associated with Liverpool Football Club following his latest FA charge.

The Reds received notification of a decision to take action against the No.7 on Wednesday evening - a statement that also revealed that club would be charged with failing to control its players in the aftermath of Jay Spearing's red card at Fulham.

Dalglish told his pre-QPR press conference: "He's been charged, it came in last night. I've not spoken to Luis. I've seen the picture and that's about it. We'll have a discussion with him first and decide what will happen. We'll take it from there.

"There's nothing else we can say because if we do it will be prejudicial. There's been at least four incidents that we've picked out where nothing has happened - not even a charge. We'll wait and see."

He added: "Luis is a fantastic footballer. People find it difficult to play against him. If they cannot beat him on the pitch because of his ability, they will try to get into people's minds. And that's what they try to do.

"The people that have any favour towards Liverpool Football Club will get right behind Luis Suarez and give him all of the support he deserves.

"We are lucky that he is a fantastic footballer and he is playing for us. So we'll help him as much as he can."

The boss was also asked about the charge relating to his players' conduct following Spearing's dismissal in the 1-0 defeat at Fulham on Monday night.

He said: "We just need to see what the rules and regulations are and if we've impinged any rules, then we've got to accept it. I don't know what the rule actually states - it's something about taking the referee's space - so if we've done anything wrong, then we've got to be punished and we wouldn't expect not to be punished if we've done something wrong."

Spearing's red card followed a challenge on Moussa Dembele in which the Reds midfielder appeared to win the ball.

However, Dalglish admitted the club will not be appealing against the No.20's three-match ban.

"We accepted it, there was no point in appealing," he said.

"If you appeal you are not allowed representation from the club and certainly not from the referees, so you can understand why we didn't appeal.

"The only intention on Jay's mind was to win the ball. It wasn't as if he went through anyone to get to it. He won it cleanly but his follow through caught Dembele. When you see other incidents in the game, then if you are going to be consistent, be consistent for the whole game."

He continued: "If they are inconsistent (referees) with their interpretation, you can understand and put up an argument for every decision made, even if you don't agree with it. So a wee bit of clarity wouldn't go amiss.

"I think enough has been said about the game the other night and we don't want to put extra pressure on referees. We just want to be dealt with, like everyone else. If they've done that, then fine."

Dalglish was also quizzed about his views on the FA's successful appeal that means Wayne Rooney's England ban has been reduced two-matches.

He added: "I don't think it sets a very good standard that they appeal against Wayne's three-match ban. I think it calls into question their own disciplinary system.

"It's understandable because Wayne is a fantastic footballer, but it's not as if it was a 50/50 challenge he got sent off for, is it? If it's a straight red it's three games (suspension), so I don't know how they justify diluting it.

"If they can justify diluting Wayne's, then everybody else that appeals for a similar sending off in a Premier League game would expect to have their ban reduced. It's great news for England that their best player is going to be available for their last game, but I don't think it sets a very good precedent for everybody else."

Can't argue with a word of what Dalglish says there.

But Keyes was just talking to Tony Gale...and they agreed Kenny is wrong in this instance.

No surprise there then.

we've got to use precedents here and by looking at the montage of the Chelsea and United players there are plenty of examples as to why these charges should be thrown out, of course this relys on these charges been dealt with in a fair and impartial way, I have no doubts this will happen!

Did they give a reason, or just decide that he is wrong?

Interesting stat..

@BassTunedToRed
Suarez is LFCs joint highest crosser from the byline in 2011/12 (with Downing, via @EPLIndex).Shouldn't he be on the end of them instead?

Just making that point on Carroll thread that Suarez practically plays as a winger, and with Carroll dropping deep there's nobody in the box.

IMO hence why Maxi's/Bellamy are a good starting options in our current squad, as they make great attacking runs behind CB's.
