Liverpool stand for f all at this moment. The lowest of the low from Manager downwards.
You must be living on another planet. Where have you been for the last few months. Clearly not reading Papers, listening to or watching the news and most definitely not reading the views of most decent and intelligent contributors to this and other Fora. God give me strength. Please.

While I think it was wrong of Suarez not to take the offered hand of Patrice Evra, I can't help thinking about the hypocritical actions and comments of the English media.
Once again they have shown nothing but their own self-serving interests throughout this whole sordid affair.
When Sepp Blatter stated that incidents like the Suarez-Evra one should be ended with a handshake at the end of the game, the media reacted as though WW3 had broken out. The FIFA President was unmercifully torn to ribbons on the sports pages and all across TV and radio.
Now, when that, once reviled handshake is offered and refused, it suddenly becomes totally acceptable that this should have, indeed, been the way to end the matter. Suddenly, Suarez's rejection of the handshake that the press was so against just a few weeks ago, has become the focus of their attention.
Of course, if the original 'handshake' comment had been made by anyone other than Blatter, this inane saga would have been put to rest before it even got off the ground. But it proved a Godsend to the media who wasted no time in using it to boost ratings and increase circulation all at the expense of the man who bears the brunt of England's failure to host the World Cup. Suarez and Evra were initially mere fodder at the time until it was convenient to redirect the focus on them.
As I say, I thought Suarez was wrong, Evra's 'celebrations were out of order and I really felt saddened and embarrassed by the post-match comments of Kenny Dalglish, someone I've always had great admiration for.
However, I reserve my ire and anger for the English media who have simply proven again that they will go to any lengths to twist a story or incident to suit their aims.
I think the major difference is Blatter was implying that whatever went on on the pitch is okay and they should shake hands and forget it.
The press felt someone should be punished if they racially abuse someone on a football pitch. The press also felt snubbing the hands of the victim in the issue was wrong, I agree with that.
