Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[doogle]

Deceptive photo. Evra was in the process of raising his hand and Suares was already moving his towards De Gea.

doesn't look like he was making much effort though does he

Evra was in the process of raising his hand

Wrong, his hand was already raised and outstretched for every other player then Suarez got there and he lowered it.

Doesn't everyone lower their hand between handshakes? Sure, he probably made a point of not looking fully committed, but Luis could have shake his hand if he had chosen to.

That picture is very misleading compared to the video, it's basically just an angle where you can't see that Suarez is going towards De Gea and ignoring Evra.

Hope this is the last we hear of this (it won't though), it's ****ing ridiculous. It's two grown men that can't move one, it's all quite childish IMO. So they didn't shake hands, so ****ing what? How has this exactly unbalanced the universe?

Then it should be judged as bad as evras reaction at the final whistle, somehow I don't think it will.

He didnt do it for any other player. The only time his hand moved was when one of our players was shaking it, Suarez got there and it's suddenly lowered and pulled in. The video is quite clear.

For every other player it was outstretched and raised, apart from for Suarez.

Evras hand was already waiting for other handshakes not down by his side although Suarez does ignore it but Evra is not innocent

Yep, I think its understandable both were tentative, awkward on it but it's not quite the Suarez - evil, Evra - perfect story that the media are painting.

Nope, it most likely won't... Honetly I would prefer if it was just dropped from here on all together.

'I've edited the post above. He didn't withhold his hand, it was there for the shaking if Luis had been looking to, lower or not.

It was a deliberate attempt by Evra to **** about; he wasn't being the "bigger man" by offering his hand in a straight-forward, no nonsense manner. Suarez's hand was out, and if Evra's hand was out there would have been a handshake.

It was a sly move to try and kick something off and get a reaction from Suarez, just like his trying to start a fight antics at half time and the goading of Suarez at the end.

I agree with this.

ferguson before the game"i haven't spoken to evra about the handshake" ferguson after the game"we spoke about it this morning"

[Kenneth]

I think Luis should explain himself publically. 'Evra put his hand down so I assumed he didn't want to shake' or something. Get in before the knives are out tomorrow.
