I have completely given up on footy. It doesn't give me any joy at all any more. Watching the premier league is like reading a story about a raped grandad.

Seeing that bellend taking photos with an iPad on the Kop, combined with tagging the Boston deaths in with Anne Williams tribute brought it home yesterday how much football & our club, has changed.
 
I was kinda hoping we'd chuck him, not because I don't want him as a footballer in or team, but more that it would restore my faith that as a football club we actually stand for something.

But we didn't, we cowered, and let him away with it. Here's a token gesture fine, and here's our manager, MD, whomeverfuckingelse fumbling around trying not to say anything too inflammatory about it in case he decided he's not getting enough love and fucks off. Why don't we demonstrate that we have certain standards as a club?

All this does is demonstrate that we effectively accept this sort of shit.

Years of moaning about owners, in-fighting, selling your club to anyone with a fucking smile,hiring cheap, buying badly, managers wearing t-shirts supporting the fucking moron, talking up mediocrity, and now this shite. It's why we're 7th every year. And it's why we'll continue to stay there. This sort of fumbling cover-up hysteria from top to bottom. 'Oh we will get a great stadium', 'spade in the ground', 'negrito is a term of endearment', 'you can tell how upset Luis is', 'stewart has been better than we thought he'd be' blah blah blah...

Average bollocks. That's us, from top to bottom.

Ask him if Keane deliberately breaking someone's leg or Cantona kicking a fan is ok by him?

But of course, Utd sold them for that, didn't they?
Did that. It wasn't comparable apparently. However, Suarez past biting incident and words with Evra are very much linked to this. I'm grand with the Ajax biting being brought into play, but the thing with Evra has nothing to do with this.

Could not agree more. We're not a football club any more.

Dear fucking god.

It's not football, it's people, they're getting worse.
 
Let's hope your take on where we're going is as accurate as that on Hayden Mullins ... The club is going the right way, with Suarez and that other person you seemingly hate.
 
I have noticed that since Luis got a ban for giving Fulham fans the finger he has had his fingers taped up while he is playing. This is presumably a precaution so he does not do it again. We could try something similar for the biting.

Cry me a fucking river.

It would be so cool if he played wearing a hannibal lector mask. He'd frighten the fuck out of anyone.

Can someone who can do photoshop do a pic of that please?

Where's avvy when you need him.
 
So once again Luis Suarez becomes embroiled in a drama all of his own making, and tryst-like we are dutifully challenged to support our idol whilst not having our own morality brought into question. Is there any more hurt or damage Luis can do to the football club? Will this seemingly never ending saga “The Suarez Story” conclude with the villain departing these shores?
Let us for one moment take a step back in our footballing morality stance, and firstly state where I position myself on this latest controversy to surround Suarez – For me he is guilty of serious foul play and a quite despicable act, so therefore he must be punished and fined by both the club and those suits and protectors of our not so beautiful game – The F.A.
Every now and then in sport a moment of pure madness will thrust itself to the fore and with a sensationalised if sanitised media exposure, it soon becomes a far greater and much more extraordinary incident. Ever forgetful of our own failings we enable the passing of judgement like arbiters suddenly finding ourselves passing sentence.
Unfortunately our own prejudices leave us unable to avoid hypocrisy whilst blatantly subjective our opinion becomes flawed – That is the dilemma of the football fan. You are either independent in your assessment of Liverpool’s number 7 or you are an opposing football fan. Alternatively if you are not a football fan then a clouded social morality exists which does not take into account the intricacies of the sport.
Footballer bites footballer – Is the act itself any worse than the two-footed challenges that end careers?
I was far more concerned by the constant diving of Suarez and that whiney moaner attitude he possessed last season, and for part of the early season this campaign – That alienated me far more, than him biting an opponent ever will.
Footballers have a responsibility to the fans especially the younger more impressionable children who hero worship their idol, whilst copying his every move. God only knows how many kids will be bitten in Liverpool playgrounds this Monday dinner time.
As is the norm with these mountains from mole hills, everyone has an opinion, usually the question of morality rises alongside highly opinionated former pros, however becoming ever forgetful of their own questionable acts, as they become compelled and obliged to pass comment.
Gary “whiter than white” Lineker suggesting that Suarez be struck of the list for Footballers Footballer of The Year to in some way set an example, to stop people biting people? Where does that kind of precedent stop then Gary? Quite happy for the award to go to a man who cheats on his wife and kids with his brother’s wife – Slightly different because nobody was bitten on a football field. For Gary and those who agree with the MOTD front man – There is a clue in who chooses the recipient of that award – Footballers themselves, surely if they are so disgusted by Suarez then we can assume they won’t vote for him.
Which moves me on to Sky’s coverage of the whole palaver – Thuggish behaviour of the type Suarez so exemplified with his choppers is a constant on Rugby fields around this and many other countries, indeed the world – Biting, kicking, stamping and attempting to pop your opponents eyes out, which get buried beneath the “man’s game” tagline all occur with hardly a murmur from the self -righteous Sky custodians – Whilst the smallest drama within football is met with reel after reel of constant footage like some macabre movie with outrage as its leading man.
Graeme Souness him of moustache fame and one of the hardest(dirtiest) footballers to ever disgrace a football field – Also a very good midfield general I might add. In Souness condemnation of Suarez he had the audacity to state “In this week more than any other” in reference to Hillsborough and the club remembering the 96 along with Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams – As if Suarez bite could not have come at a worst time.
I will remind the uninitiated – Graeme Souness whilst Liverpool manager sold his personal story on his heart bypass operation to The Lying Rag newspaper on the 3rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. To disparage Luis Suarez with such a comment is the height of hypocrisy. Without even taking into account Graeme’s own misdemeanours on a football field he makes Suarez look positively saintly.
For those fans still intent on hanging Suarez out to dry, let us not forget Kung Fu kicks, career ending tackles, spitting incidents, head butts, diving and downright cheating. Memory loss occurs when we attempt to kick our footballing dogs as they die. We are all guilty of one commodity that of support, we support our team and its players sometimes in the face of a barrage of abuse. We don’t defend the indefensible – Blood is thicker than water, whilst footballers, well sometimes they are incredibly thick.

'Suarez is a good as a player as there is in world football at the minute. Yes, he's messed up and shouldn't have bitten another player but a player like him has to play right on the edge,' posted Barton.

'Without it he wouldn't be the talent he is. LFC would be mad not to back him IMO...if they don't I'm sure the queue of Champions League clubs would stretch round the block.'

Barton went on to compare Suarez with another controversial star in Eric Cantona, who was banned for eight months after kung-fu kicking a Crystal Palace fan in 1995.

'Only have to look up the M62 and see what Fergie did with Cantona to know Suarez is worth it. Yes, HE is that good!' posted Barton.

'Every single football fan out there would have Suarez in their team. Anyone who says otherwise is talking complete nonsense.'

He later clarified his stance, saying: 'You cannot defend Suarez's bite. Its not defendable. You can however defend Suarez the man, the player.

'People are going on like he's actually eaten someone. Nobody has died. Worse things happen in nurseries every day of the week.
'He has came out and apologised. He'll probably get a ban. He'll no doubt be fined by the club. He is a human who has made a mistake?'



Liverpool legend Phil Thompson also took to Twitter to condemn Suarez, posting: 'Love Suarez but cannot defend the indefensible,10 game ban at least,club bigger than any one person.'
 
Ffs what a storm in a teacup, it was only a little nip, its not as if he didn't let him go, handbags as they say. You'd have thought he had committed murder or something. My mrs gets nipped all the time and doesn't complain, really like it myself too.

Funny, I could tell before the end of the first sentence that that was by some amateur blogger. Most people just haven't got a clue how to write good, interesting, English.

And his point about rugby is somewhat rubbished by the slightest bit of research. Biting, stamping and eye gouging all result in significant bans in rugby
