He hasn't apologised to evra- correct. But he admitted it was he who ignored evra (one main talking point), and acknowledges he did wrong by his employers. United have issued a statement thanking them, so whilst I don't think it is finished- this would/should be the time.
He said he should have shaken Evras hand. I do not accept that he admits he ignored it. I should have gone to the pub tonite. I did not because the missus would kill me,,or I have no money. That means i am not ignoring the pub but other factors have intervened. There is a clear inference within that statemnt that he did not ignore the hand but it was there (or rather it was offered in a gesture of indifference) and he chose not to shake it-different. Liverpool football club has issued a statement Because politicians have got involved. It was politicians that sold Liverpool out in the eighties. They have acted properly and with integrity in this matter. The same cannot be said of man u. They wish to fan the fires because it sells seats and papers.
OK - i've had enough of this - its boring now - no more talk of Suarez,Evra,Manure or Liverpool. Anybody who defies this can look forward to the wrath of Agressive_Stu - and you wouldnt want that would you !?
Sorry to bring this thread back up (boo! hiss!) but this may have been the video which was referred to early in the thread by a poster... [video=youtube;Gh2GklvY7eQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh2GklvY7eQ&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Don't worry I wasn't in any way trying to support Suarez, but I do feel that Evra is playing the innocent victim far too much. From the video it seems to me that neither Evra nor Suarez went for the handshake, I feel Evra probably wanted to make Suarez look the fool by ignoring his request, and upon seeing no such request, felt like his plan failed and thus reacted. Its strange that so little has been made of Evra abusing Suarez's sister or whatever it was that he said, I personally feel that a direct insult towards somebody's family member is a lot worse (being extremely personal) than a reference made to somebody's skin colour (when there are 6 billion other people of the same ethnicity in the world). I know that's just my personal belief though, and not one that many people will agree with. Its sad really though, newspapers, players and pundits going mental because somebody refuses to shake hands with somebody else.
Evra is an idiot too, will never deny that. I think the handshake became a bit of a Mexican stand off with Evra trying to anticipate what Suarez would do to ''not look a fool''. Once Suarez showed he had no intent to shake the hand, it played off perfectly for Evra.
I am afraid that you are quite wrong. Evra dropped his hand which is the leading action. At no point did Suarez divert his hand, this is clear from above. notice how Evra did not drop his hand for any other Liverpool players. He suckered Suarez who copped the blame because he is a racist according to the FA and has an ugly sister according to Evra. Evra who is on u tuble referring to Hasslebank as a n....r plays so many for suckers and it continues as I predicted all because the FA/BBC want a witch hunt. Liverpool have taken the moral highground and just copped the blame for the good of the game. Good for them and Suarez who wins my hero of the week award. Why do the FA and its sister organisations Sky TV and Man U continually drag this up. why have they shown such an uneven hand against liverpoool when: Why can Fergie defend his players that 1. Kung fu kick spectators 2. Avoid Drug tests 3. Take part in gangbangs 4. Have marital affairs with their brothers wives 5. Bang 60 year old grannies for cash and say on camera that they are not matters of a diciplinary nature and then call for the worldwide banning for life of a player that may not have shook another players hand?
how can you justiy that on the video evidence? talk me through it please. I also need to know what your definition is of intention and how you can interpret it?
The video evidence is Suarez didn't shake his hand. This is backed up by his club saying that he deceived them by "not shaking his hand". Reading further in to it becomes a conspiracy theory.
I think Suarez and Evra are lovers. This pent up hatred is some sort of sordid sex charade. And when will FHB be reprimanded for calling me a Honky?
