to both of these posts. All of those posters who are saying that it's nothing are displaying some of the worst examples of blinkered vision imaginable. If Rooney had done this we'd all be calling for a public execution. Suarez has done this three times now, plus the Evra incident.I was one of those saying we should get rid after the Ivanovic incident. I feel that even more strongly now. If we genuinely believe the idea that no one is bigger than the club then we have to take a stand over this. Regardless of whether or not you believe biting someone to be a major transgression (I'm firmly in the camp of it being an utterly unacceptable act), there are too many other issues with this to let it pass.
Firstly, he has totally let down his national team mates, management and fans on the biggest stage in the world. Aside from his appalling action, they have **** all chance of progressing without him.
Secondly, he has given a big two fingers to Brendan and the owners, who have backed him regardless of his previous behaviour on the basis that this wasn't his normal character. Well, apparently it is, and he doesn't give a ****. He is dragging the club's reputation through the mire, and giving the media and other fans all the ammunition they need to attack the club.
Thirdly, he has given two fingers to all us LFC fans. He had the backing of the majority of fans after the Evra incident, and then the Ivanovic incident. His thanks was to agitate for a transfer. And now, after a great season he lets everyone down again with this. And all the while he continues to moan about his treatment by the British media. Plus I don't think that he ever actually apologised for the Evra or Ivanovic incidents, so clearly has **** all remorse for his actions.
To those posters who think that we can't lose as he'll either sell for a load of money or have to stay, what if the manager and owners feel that he has to go, but we end up getting far less than his real value as a result of his actions? How does that mean we aren't affected?
I don't care how good a footballer he is right now, I just want the club's name not be to continuously dragged through the mud. I want players who want to play for the club, understand what it means to play for the club, and respect its values and traditions. I don't want us to become the most reviled club in the country because we continue to defend someone whose actions are indefensible.
