Most of the Liverpool fans I know now have lost it with Suarez, they're looking to cash in and consider it good riddance, one too many.

RAWK on the other hand, still offers endless entertainment. Not even allowed to acknowledge what is looking more likely to be a certain transfer. Over there, it's as though them even discussing the possibility makes it more likely, so the mods just can't bear to hear it. Much better to bury your head in the sand.

Bill Shankley would have done this

Bill would have turned in his grave

Bill would have shot him out of a cannon

Shankley would have done a river style dance in the center circle wearing only a bow tie and nipple tassles

James Pearce, he of the Witch hunt article, has turned on Suarez. Prepare yourselves for frightening revisionism all over the gig.

Magic.


After all the ludicrous denials and talk of witch-hunts, conspiracies and scapegoats,Luis Suarez finally ended the charade.

The Liverpool FC striker has belatedly acknowledged what the world already knew by admitting he sunk his teeth into Giorgio Chiellini. Suarez says he “deeply regrets” his actions and has vowed it will never happen again.

The question is why now? Why the sudden show of remorse six days after the Uruguayan should have fronted up and embarked on a damage limitation exercise?



It was that initial shocking lack of contrition which led to FIFA hitting him with an unprecedented four-month ban from all football.

The timing of his statement on Monday won't convince anyone of its sincerity following reports in Spain that Barcelona had informed his advisers a public apology would be required prior to the Catalans opening negotiations with Liverpool over a transfer.

Maybe Suarez merely decided it was time to face up to the consequences of his actions or possibly his remaining sponsors demanded action.

What we do know is that Liverpool had no part to play in the issuing of the statement. The first they knew of it was when it landed on Twitter and Facebook.

There were two glaring omissions from Suarez.

First, the bold assertion that the offence won't happen again didn't come with any promise that he will seek the help he clearly needs.

Secondly, there was no mention of his employers. The lack of an apology to Liverpool for the embarrassment he has caused and the almighty headache he has given them ahead of the new season will only fuel the belief that he has no intention of returning to Anfield.

This Suarez debacle (Mark iii is it now, clears throat ?) is a true cameo of one of the polarised differences between Kopites and Us. They have willingly laid themselves open to this prig persistently making a laughing stock of them by allowing him to make them look ridiculous in their blind support for him. Are they as stupid as this suggests ? They've allowed their mawkish melodramatic reaction to him getting the better of them persistently.... as though he cares ? Yet they know hes slyly courted a move to one of the greats regularly flashing his underskirt at Spain...and still they deify him. Worst of all, they've colluded in the myth of Suarez so much that they believe the myth to be true...that he would payback their loyalty/stupidity/both, maybe by staying and scoring them to their holy grail, the Premier title. They like to draw parallels with Duncan Ferguson and us, though of course the cases are as alike as chalk and cheese apart from the deed being done playing for another team. We never said "he didn't do it...hes innocent...hes being persecuted". We took it on board and supported him without any hysteria...which he never forgot. End of story. God knows what those apologists on RAWK with their nonsensical "he was falling down anyway...he didn't break the skin...its not as bad as a two footed tackle...yadda yadda yadda" feel now that hes actually coughed to it without recourse or mention of remorse for LFC. I bet theyre not even embarrassed. That's another difference..... he'd be a pariah at Goodison.
