Of course we should complain. If Suarez weren't a diver and a cheat. But he really comes across as one, so it's you could construe those comments as mere observation or a carefully orchestrated vendetta.
Then beyond his involvement as a witness and then in bringing it to the attention of the referee, what was the true extent of his "personal involvement in the whole Evra business"? By the same token, did Kenny's "personal involvement" in talking to the ref indicate some conspiracy to besmirch Evra's reputation? What about Kuyt's or Commolli's?
Above all, if he was really so worried about Suarez's ability to tear his defence a new one, why wait till post-game to brand him a disgrace? I can't for the life of me think why he wouldn't have taken the initiative to psyche Suarez out before the game, and throw him off, as opposed to post-game? What was the point? Make sure Suarez is a quivering bundle of nerves for the next Liverpool-Scum encounter next season?
Oh, he tries to come across as a wily ol fox alright, but I've never thought he had the subtlety or patience for mind games or for such a protracted return on an insult. He's simply had the good fortune of coming up against the likes of Keegan and Wenger, who aren't great at keeping their emotions under wraps.

if you remmeber back to the November game, Fergie was at him already then. Branding him "diving all over the place". How does he get waway with that from the FA and the PFA I dont know, but if you see that game the only guy diving was Downing. I cant see one particular event in the whole game saying Luis dived. Still fergie had a go at him, and noone else?
And another point is that whenever Rooney elbows someone or Rafael throws himself tot eh ground or whoever of his vegetables does something he shouldnt, we don't see a clan of oppsoit managers having a go do we? They mostly stick to their own business and let the autorities handle it as they should, which in most cases is to let the villain go.

The point is, Suarez had earned his reputation for diving long before the first league match -v- the scum. It was all commentators pointed out in the first couple of months of the season. It was all "What a brilliant player, that Suarez, BUT..." Even this forum debated his tendency to go to ground. You can choose to regard it as a carefully orchestrated vendetta by ol whiskeynose, or you could construe it as a commonly shared observation. If you think it's the former, then perhaps you'd be so kind as to answer the next question I bolded for you?

In a perfect world even people like Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson would be rational. Why he acts like he does is hard to answer. But the results is there to see for anyone. The guy ain't stupid, but he is a psycopat. There was no forum for him to speak about Suarez until after the game. It would be stupid to show his obsession before he had what he felt was good ammunition. The same with refs. Why on earth did he not slaughter Atkinson before the game, if he tought he was fat an unfit?
