Fantastic talent, however the frequency of the incidents tends to make you think that he knows what he is doing and if so is it cheating or gamesmanship? Personally I like many would call it cheating and when he tries to trivialise it like when he dived infront of Moyes shows what a complete twerp he is, but boy I'd love to see him in a Sunderland Shirt so it shows how shallow us football fans can be.
Can understand why people would dislike Suarez but its bizarre to act all outraged about this particular incident. Because firstly you could never tell if it was deliberate or not and secondly, most supporters would accept a player handballing it into the goal if it meant them getting the 3 points or going through in the cup game. I mean, if Fletcher scored a last minute winner against Newcastle which had hit his hand would you accept the goal or would you moan about Fletcher for not reporting it to the referee/linesman?
It was deliberate he moved his hand towards the ball can you not see that or are you blind just accept it was deliberate and get on with it
This just highlights changes that need to be made in football. A video ref in this case would solve the problem. I am sorry but the game is so fast now and the ref's only get a split second to see the incident. To make it fair each manager should get 2 challenges a half they can use to take to the video ref in incidents that would potentially mean a goal, penalty or sending off. If there had been a video ref today the game would be going to a reply. The money that would be worth to Mansfield would be incredible so you cannot tell me its not worth doing. The decisions do not work themselves out over a season for a club like Mansfield. A replay against Liverpool at Anfield comes round once a life time not once a season.
Play to the whistle, they teach that as low down as primary school. If you look at how he smashes the ball into the net it looks like he's frustrated as he's expecting the ref to blow up for it - the ref doesn't, goal stands, simple, no??
I despise the little twat and I think he has turned Liverpool into everyone's most hated team now but I have to say i agree with Bizarre. Wish we could find such a class footballer.
This. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Of course. However, its blatant cheating of the lowest order and cant just be dismissed as gamesmanship. He should be ****ed over a barrel for it. I just hope the moaning ****ing scousers don't expect any sympathy if they get knocked out in similar circumstances or if RVP does it against Utd or Jelavic for the blues.
And his manager knows that he has cheated,but blames the officials for not seeing it!Suarez is a cheat,and Rodgers is a "merchant banker"!!
The 4th official told Rodgers that he had seen the handball (just after the goal). So Rodgers said he assumed that this meant the officials deemed that the handball was not deliberate.
Do you think it was unintentional then? FFS man he cheated and got away with it. Admit it and move on.
Mansfield chairman John Radford has launched a scathing attack on Luis Suarez for celebrating his FA Cup goal on Sunday and says his actions left Liverpool's directors embarrassed. Suarez scored what turned out to be the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory for the Premier League side when he handled the ball before shooting in from close range. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insisted after the final whistle that the handball was not deliberate, but Radford thinks the Uruguayan cheated and should feel ashamed. "When you get a professional player like Suarez and when they celebrate after a deliberate foul, then of course it hurts," said Radford. "Obviously he was (gloating). It was like, 'Hang on, I can get away with this'. If one of my players had done that, I'd be embarrassed. "I was looking for a fair and true competition. That was one incident in the game that made me feel like it was such a killer. "They've denied us a replay but it doesn't matter. I'm big enough and daft enough to stand up for the club and take us forward. "But it's hurtful for the league we are in. I'd have been embarrassed and the man should be embarrassed. "To do it deliberately and then celebrate is the hardest thing. To cheat, OK, but to cheat and then celebrate cheating... that is the worst thing you can do. "Cheats will never prosper. The Liverpool directors felt embarrassed."
If you condone it, you have to accept that Maradona's "hand of God" goal was acceptable for the same reasons (whatever they are). I don't...
