double-standards. favouritism. racism. pick your own opinion but i feel the FA were out for LFC' scalp whichever way that "issue" was handled. that "issue" is never gonna go away until some blokes in the FA who have refused to see to such issues objectively are made to leave the FA.
Just posted about this on the pub thread. Apparently this is the 1st time the Prem are breaking their own handshake rule since 2004. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17855978
How can Scudamore say last month that it was policy for the handshakes to take place and then change his mind? He knew this game was coming up when he made the statement? This is just yet another example of favouritism.
No handshakes. No slating no labelling hmmmm FA, Nice. I mean thi sone had criminal investigation behind it n'all. Gotta love FA equality
it is a disgrace. the rumour is ferdinand's lawyers said not to... but IMO thats a smokescreen and we might hear anton is being scapegoated here AFTER the trial. I think this is the fa out to protect its racist, wife staeling, thug captain.
The OP states the FA three times and says they are after Liverpool's scalp, hence why I mention them. The Premier League is also under FA jurisdiction and have overuling power.
Not quite right Yuri. The FA's 'power' is strictly defined and does not cover things like this. This is purely a Prem league decision.
Favourtism? How the hell do you work that out? There's a court case pending and the decision was taken to nat have a handshake before the game. So what? What sort of advantage have we gained from it? Why the hell do players shake hands before the game anyway? Absolutely ridiculous.
Ahem! Racist thug captain? In case you didn't realise, he's not the captain anymore. Also, if you want to see a racist thug then look no further than Liverpool.
Oh dear, indeed. The comparison is ridiculous. But only to be expected, I suppose. Deflection is a common, though transparent, tactic when trying to defend the indefensible.
Because Suarez is plainly not a "thug". If you'd called him an irritating, devious little whinger I'd accept that as your opinion. But thug, to me, means someone who is violent and bullying and I wouldn't call him that at all.
evra says- suarez is no racist. fa report- suarez is no racist. john terry- ought to have cleared his name as soon as the "allegation" was made but why hasnt he?
