Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Shaggy]

It's ****ing horrible there, unless we win obviously. Pure, unadulterated hate, I'm too old for that ****.

I can handle the usual ****e, in the ground and suchlike.

It's the walk back to the car and the fact that once you leave the 'site' that Old Trafford is on, the ****ing police are literally nowhere to be seen.

That, and the fact that i'll probably be travelling back to the car on my Jack, kinda makes it something of a vulnerable situation.

I think that this is just the beginning of a new era of violence and hatred between the clubs. Ordinary fans will avoid going to the game because they will be wary of trouble so people who want trouble will go instead. Something bad is likely to happen and then the trouble will escalate at the next match between the sides. The balance of probability is that this is likely to happen. If I hate Mancs so much right now then the hardcore element must be itching for a fight.

Haha tell me about it. I walk home...on my own ....it's about a 25 minute walk and I'm surrounded by them for much of my journey...with my LFC scarf hidden inside my coat

Who the **** is Piara Powar anyway? Other than the chief exec of some organisation no one had ever heard of until now. What background, expertise, knowledge or other qualification does this apparent rent-a-quote have to pass comment on the conduct of Liverpool Football Club or Kenny Dalglish?

Our club's staunchly anti-racist stance has held firm throughout this affair. Our issue is the process by which the FA has branded Luis Suarez a racist.

He is blatantly seeking to do nothing other than raise his own profile at our club's expense and in doing so devalues the organisation he represents and the cause it promotes. Cock.

After the 4-1, i was walking back and heard this girl walking along a few feet to my left, whistling Ring of Fire, so desperate to vent some joy, i stepped a little to my left and went "****ing great, isnt it?" Luckily, she was a Liverpool fan, and not just a deflated manc Johnny Cash one.

And i have no idea how the **** you think it's a good idea to wear colours to that game Even a scarf. You mentalist

Seriously, I can see three sendings off in the game as i can see it being very dirty game.

Two red cards for the scum probably Rooney & Evra ( i hope)
and probs Bellemy ( if they wind him up too much)

But ideally, we fookin batter them and give Evra loads of **** :bird:

Only if Kenny was reffing.

[ChesterDave]

Is prefer us not to give him any. Most journos are probably already drafting their bile about LFC fa.s showing their true colours booing the victim. Would love to shut them up with dignified silence when his name is read out and when he is on the ball

Let me know how the walking on water project goes.

I just listened to the Football Weekly Extra podcast and true to current form, we are all been accused of rampant tribalism, the club should be ashamed and nothing if anything was mentioned of Evra changing testomony, or his meetings with the FA before the hearing etc etc

The proclaimed South American Liverpool on the show made a valiant effort to stand up for Suarez much along the lines that I feel about the whole matter, ie nobodies perfect, the world is a big place with different cultural meanings etc and England should stop being so hypocritical naming there 100 top players and not a single black player in it, but then he read the mood of the studio which is has just set its mind on a position and changed his stance quick smart

I have seen this before in the corporate sector, there is an issue which is contentious, highly sensitive and people get a sense its a steam train going in favor of one way and they are not going to get in the way or be remotely seen to be agreeing with the other side because its not worth the hassle or potentially losing your job over it.

Glendening who I have a love hate relationship was basically earning his crust which will no doubt reinvest down the pub, being contrary and claiming Liverpool fans are like a ****ing cult members.

Heres the thing, we ****ed up here, Suarez ****ed up her, even though there was no racist intention behind his words he should not have said them to a cunt like Evra, he certainly should not have talked to the ****ing media about it and we as a club seemed to have handled this at least legally far from satisfactory. I also agree that perhaps Ian Ayre or a press officer shiuld have fielding questions about this and not Kenny and I hope the club and players have learnt some vaulable lessons out of all this.

Players need to be very ****ing careful what they say in public, both at the games and outside of them, we should control there twitter accounts like hawks whilst they are at the club.

And for ****s sake can we make ****ing sure we are the cleverest mother ****er in the room when it comes to anything to do with money, scouting, commercial operations and legal issues.

We as an organization have come on leaps and bounds from a business perspective but man I can tell you I have been made aware of some business transactions the club had in Asia pre the Americans the good ones and the bad ones , and those ****ing asshats on the Apprentice could probably have done a better job.

I suspect the time has come to take our lumps, be strategic and get Suarez on the back pages for the right reasons. People will soon forget about all of this when he is the top striker in the world and Barca and Madrid are banging down our door to sign him.

I think within most sections of the media and TV pundits and understanding that the man is not inherently racist, but thats as far as they are willing to go.

I say we draw a line under the whole matter including in here. Suggest perhaps start and John Terry thread, and lets take the energy out of this, which is very bad toxic energy and move on. Much like arguing with people on the internet, the vast majority of people are not going to change there minds. We quite bravely in my books stated our positions, showed our support and got caught with our pants down and duly ****ed hard. Lets hope some ****ers in within the club are as angry as we are about this whole episode and makes sure it does not happen again.

Its not the end of the world for Liverpool FC or Luis, we will carry and this will be a bad memory of ill advised folly.

But I truly think its time to say thats that and good riddance
