What a pair of pricks. So what if Suarez don't want to shake hands. Evra's a knob anyway and I reckon the press is making to much of it. If he don't want to shake his hand ( it's a free world and all that) then so be it.
There is no place for racism in football. He was acting like a big girl because he got punished. IMO the ban was too lenient and showing further disrespect only highlights further what a c-unit Suarez is.
Anyone supporting Suarez after he was found guilty of making the racist comment (and he admitted it) is by definition also racist and should be treated in such a fashion (i.e. Dalglish, Liverpool players & fans).
The point everyone including the media (conveniently) are overlooking is that Ferdinand refused Suarez's handshake in a far more blatent manner. As captain of his side he is an absolute disgrace.
Two wrongs do not make a right. And Ferdinand should be facing the same, if not MORE media hounding than Suarez.
But surely Ferdinand only refused to shake hands after Suarez ignored Evra's offer of a handshake?
Why should he shake his hand? Should Bridge have shook Terrys hand after he nobbed his missus? If I don't like someone I wouldn't shake their hand, no agenda or otherwise, it shouldn't cause a fuss but due to the massive media interest and goading it has caused an unnecessary furore and too many people have become embroiled in it.Players can dislike or even hate one another, doesn't mean you can't shake hands before and after a game.
Obviously the 8 game ban hasn't taught Suarez anything.
But the simple fact is that they should have shaken hands and put this whole saga behind them. All it's done now is bring it back to the fore.
If they didn't want to shake hands then both clubs before the game should have agreed that there would be no handshakes.
Simple really.
Calling me a racist is a bit harsh, I have got a coloured nephew and niece. All I was trying to say ( after a bottle of red) was Evra is a horrible little man anyway and there is always two sides to a story. Yes in hindsight he should of done the honourable thing but who knows what's gone on.Fortunately you are in the minority with this view. Minority of 3 I would guess. You, the racist and his manager who I used to respect immensely and now seems to want to end his career in mockery with his constant misguided backing of the stupid Suarez.
The whole thing has been blown out of proportion. It should be an individuals choice whether to shake the hand of another person; it shouldn't be forced upon anyone.
What about Evra's reaction to the rejection? If he wanted to put an end to the whole thing, why not just carry on and let his football do the talking?? And his over the top celebration at the end needs investigating. Something tells me it will go into Dowd's matchday report, but as it is against a Man U player, one assumes it will go unnoticed by the FA!

I think out of the whole thing Daglish has made himself look like a complete prick.
Evra and Suarez are both idiots but Suarez was found guilty of saying racist comments to Evra.

Just out of interest, and I'm not having a pop, why do you think Dalglish has made himself look like a prick?
His almost complete denial of what Suarez said to Evra for his 8 match ban and his pop at the sky sports presenter for making things up pretty much!
A club like Liverpool are basically publicly backing a racist. 8 games is not enough for racial abuse. In any other job you would be sacked if you did that in the workplace. Football for them is a job and employment good practice must be adhered to in similar circumstances.
