Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

both

that is some shameful shit

Hmm. Not ideal, but not harmful except by slighting Evra again, and probably what solidarity demands. Best forgotten as of now.

seems fair to me

they should have apologized

"he didn't do it, nobody saw him do it, you can't prove anything, the FA hates us, our owner's a yank so luis suarez can't have done anything racist, luis suarez has been pictured beside a black kid smiling so he can't be racist, they believed evra's evidence but not suarez and that's de facto unfair, this is a pro-utd conspiracy, we're not racist but, we don't think suarez is a racist so he can't have done anything racist,

but

we're accepting this unfair punishment'

here's the ideal statement-

"Liverpool Football Club acknowledges and accepts the findings of the independent inquiry into the incident of alleged racist abuse of Patrice Evra by Luis Suarez. We will not be appealing the 8 match ban and will endeavour to ensure that everyone connected to Liverpool Football Club demonstrates at every opportunity the belief that calling a fellow football professional 'blackie blackie blackie' during a confrontation is fucking racist for fuck fucking's sake'

they're not into the whole brevity thing

and yes, absolutely an apology for the incident,an apology for the conduct of the club, manager and players from the incident until the verdict and an apology to patrice

and they should wear patrice evra t-shirts during warmups from now until the end of the ban

First of all I would like to thank everyone so much for all the help and support I have received during these last few weeks.

Thank you to my family, my friends and everybody at LFC (the staff, manager and coaching staff, the directors, my team mates and everyone who is working on a daily basis for this great club) and thank you especially to all the fans who made sure I never felt let down for one second. During those days I understood more than ever what 'You'll Never Walk Alone' means.

Like many of you I was born into a very humble family, in a working class neighbourhood, in a small country. But I was born and raised learning what respect, manners and sacrifice mean. Thanks to my family, from my first club where I started playing, to my transfer to Holland in Europe, I learned the values which made me the person I am now. Never, I repeat, never, have I had any racial problem with a team mate or individual who was of a different race or colour to mine. Never.

I am very upset by all the things which have been said during the last few weeks about me, all of them being very far from the truth. But above all, I'm very upset at feeling so powerless whilst being accused of something which I did not, nor would not, ever do.

In my country, 'negro' is a word we use commonly, a word which doesn't show any lack of respect and is even less so a form of racist abuse. Based on this, everything which has been said so far is totally false.

I will carry out the suspension with the resignation of someone who hasn't done anything wrong and who feels extremely upset by the events. I do feel sorry for the fans and for my team mates whom I will not be able to help during the next month. It will be a very difficult time for me.

The only thing I wish for at the moment is being able to run out again at Anfield and to do what I like most which is playing football.

Thank you very much.

rough looking team

Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Henderson, Downing, Spearing, Adam, Kuyt, Carroll

rough in about sixteen different senses

Ach, I'd assumed this meant Bellamy would be raring to go.

Gerrard too.

defence is p good rest of team p waste

dmac I am v close to plagiarizing your post to use to troll some american pool fans that will. not. shut. up. about this

but I won't

i'm over it now tbh

my new tv will allow me to watch spurs stream & sky picture at once

awes

It is our strongly held conviction that the Football Association and the panel it selected constructed a highly subjective case against Luis Suarez based on an accusation that was ultimately unsubstantiated.

The FA and the panel chose to consistently and methodically accept and embrace arguments leading to a set of conclusions that found Mr. Suarez to "probably" be guilty while in the same manner deciding to completely dismiss the testimony that countered their overall suppositions.

Mr. Evra was deemed to be credible in spite of admitting that he himself used insulting and threatening words towards Luis and that his initial charge as to the word used was somehow a mistake.

The facts in this case were that an accusation was made, a rebuttal was given and there was video of the match. The remaining facts came from testimony of people who did not corroborate any accusation made by Mr. Evra.

In its determination to prove its conclusions to the public through a clearly subjective 115-page document, the FA panel has damaged the reputation of one the Premier League's best players, deciding he should be punished and banned for perhaps a quarter of a season. This case has also provided a template in which a club's rival can bring about a significant ban for a top player without anything beyond an accusation

there's got to be a good chance that this segment leads to an increased ban, fine etc

Red and White Kop bringing the requisite 'do it for Luis' defiance tonight

shit sorry can a mod googleproof that, probably not cool to namedrop racist websites on here

oh snap

torres in absentia drogba vs carroll in absentia suarez

Are Liverpool going to wear t-shirts for Norris and Dobson tonight?

ouch

"What kind of balls does Andy Carroll want?"

awesome material xxp

'what's the difference between john terry and a mongoose'
'john terry is a racist cunt! loooool'

fucks sake Downing

really struggling to get sopcast to stick on a spurs stream

tell us more about this new telly of yours

ffs never mind

nice save.

What *was* that?

Replays do not indicate anything besides the kind of goalkeeping that got Almunia a job at West Ham. Horrible.

We looked very ropey after that blow but much better lately. City look almost-deadly on every break though.

that was a lot of fuss for nothing

Is 35 minutes too early for a Gerrard super sub appearance?

yah

still tho they have adam

'Steve McManaman - Cult Hero' on my stream has cheered me up at least

there's got to be a good chance that this segment leads to an increased ban, fine etc

Why? Trying to be as fair and balanced about this as possible, but there are some inconsistencies in the report - the FA deeming Evra's initial comment not to have been offensive but coming to the conclusion that what Suarez said probably was, accepting that Evra's 10 times comment was just a figure of speech, letting Evra see video footage before Suarez. I think Liverpool could have done better, and an apology for any offence taken wouldn't have gone amiss, but after reading all 115 pages, I'm still none the wiser.

Crikey, what a stunner from Gardner in Wigan-Sunderland

but after reading all 115 pages, I'm still none the wiser

probably can't help you then, Chris

Can't wait for this McClean lad to be ostracised by Trap

these cunts are destroying us in the not-nice way, ref shy of showing his cards

defoe 1-0 tho

some sort of poetic justice in seeing that the two dull, respectable british midfielders benitez failed to buy are now outclassing dalglish's dull, plodding british types while playing for citeh

gallas limps off, sandro hamstrung, bale lucky (as always) to avoid bad ankle injuries
