I can't wait for the sh1tstorm when the Commission deliver their judgment. The f*ckwits REALLY think that, collectively, they can outflank a QC - a legal expert with more linguistic skill than the lot of them put together, in their version of the verdict. This will be SO SWEET to see.
I think we can safely expect a completely different view of the legal profession than the universal approval that followed the removal of Hicks & Gillette.

They'll be demanding to split off from England next... that kind of thing.
What precisely is England's fault I don't know.

They're off to Norway Lad (taps nose)
At midnight we'll be laying down our guns and meeting in no mans land to embrace the enemy.

I don't know if this has been posted yet ?
So let me get this straight.
You think the fact that Liverpool Football Club, its manager and players standing strongly behind a player they believe has been persecuted and wrongly labelled a racist is embarassing?
You would rather they sit back, see the newspaper headlines yelling RACIST, hear the crowds screaming abuse at one of our players and just bow their heads and do nothing.
As far as I am concerned, if they had taken that course of action it would have been embarassing, in fact it would have been disgraceful.
This is a ridiculous statement. I got some t shirts printed for Christmas - was that wrong? Should I have been told by the shop that they only deal with natural disasters? The players obviously feel deeply that what is going on at the moment is wrong. Their statement and show of support couldn't have made that plainer, and if people want to throw their hands up in horror over that, I would suggest that they are pandering to the newspaper headline writers and TalkSport journo's rather than examing the events of the past few weeks.
Ok, lets have a look at what has happened, and the punishment meted out.
As far as I am concerned Suarez has been made a scapegoat and is paying the price for a series of events that have built up together.
** England get badly mauled at the World Cup bidding and accusations about illegality in the bidding process are made that cause great embarrassment and trouble for Sepp Blatter and his cronies.
The FA oppose Blatters re-election.
** Suarez hits the Prem and teams find him a nuiscance.
Ferguson labels him a diver, TalkSport devote a programme to debate 'Is Louis Suarez the dirtiest player in the Prem, some no mark goalie calls him a diver.
** Suarez starts to get the wrong end of decisions in games, and little if any protection from referees.
** Blatter makes a comment about how racist remarks on the pitch should be dealt with by a handshake, causes fury (mainly in this country) and is forced to apologise.
** Evra makes a post match complaint about Suarez making a racist remark, and the FA investigate.
They do not subsequently investigate or punish Evra for using a pejorative word even though he admitted the offence.
** The FA hand out an unprecendented ban and fine, to make Blatter and his cohorts see how this sort of offence should be handled, a great excuse for some more FIFA bashing.
** Daily Mirror has a bold banner headline saying simply RACIST. Talksport spend days focussing on pulling one of our players to bits, while every time he now sets foot on the pitch he is subjected to boos and abuse.
** John Terry (subject of a Police investigation into racist comments) plays and gets the following headline in the papers -"John Terry a heroic Leader", "The caring side of John Terry" (picture of him with a black baby).
** Even if found guilty in a Court of law, Terry can not be awarded a ban for 8 games, or a £40,000 fine. Instead, he can be given a maximum fine of £2500. A bit of a difference there isn't there?
and despite ALL of this you think the club should have sat back, accepted what the FA have done without any protest or sign of discontent?
You say that Liverpool fans should make up their own minds about all this, well believe me I have done a lot of reading, a lot of listening, and I have made my mind up.
The treatment of Suarez stinks. I know it, the players know it, the manager, who I happen to think is a fairly decent chap, knows it and an awful lot of decent Liverpool supporters know it.
Shame you don't feel the same.

Ultimately I think we are are going to have to accept a ban for Luis.
However, I want the club to release a full considered statement expressing our outrage at the slander that the FA has perpetrated on our African-Uruguayan player at the slander of 'racism' that has been laid at his door, I want a full exposition of Evra accounted by our club, so that this hysterical runt has nowhere left to squeal, and I want a reference to Alex Ferguson and his exculpation of Schmeichel vis a vis Ian Wrights accusations laid out in full amongst a litany of other ****e -------- I want a restatement of Liverpool's anti racism crediantials to the maximum, and I want to take every ****er involved in this stitch up in the media, from the Guardian to the redneck Daily Star from every form of media to be stored up for posterity's sake. They shall be reminded.
Once our club makes an audit of all this ****, I want them to **** every media voice that slandered Luis and LFC to be forever a leper to us, then I want us to concentrate on assembling a squad that can win the league, and bringing in players to achieve that end, augmenting a squad that includes the outrageous and brilliant talent of Luis Suarez, our genius African-Uruguyan forward.
We are going to have to swallow this, I reckon. Lets start with the next step, which shall include repudiation of these bandwagon jumping hysterics. For this season and beyond.
