    Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's hand gesture looked at by FA

    Suarez raised the middle finger on his left hand as he left the pitch
    The Football Association is reviewing a hand gesture made by Liverpool striker Luis Suarez after the 1-0 defeat at Fulham.

    Suarez raised the middle finger of his left hand as he left the Craven Cottage pitch on Monday.

    Reds boss Kenny Dalglish said: "I have not seen the picture. If [it] is true then I've a decision to make."

    Uruguay international Suarez is also facing an FA racism charge.

    That stems from an incident during Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Manchester United in October that led to French defender Patrice Evra alleging that Suarez had racially abused him.

    The FA is yet to receive the referee's report from the Fulham game, or any complaints about the incident involving Suarez.

    Meanwhile, Dalglish said it was "scandalous" that some Fulham fans had chanted "cheat" at Suarez during the match in London.

    The Scot defended the striker after home supporters had barracked the player for going down too easily in an attempt to win a penalty.


    Dalglish's post-match interview

    Of the taunts aimed at Suarez, Dalglish said: "I would like to see you write that in the paper because you would be in a bit of trouble as well. It is about time he got a wee bit of protection."

    Dalglish is also considering appealing against Jay Spearing's controversial second-half red card.

    The midfielder was sent off after fouling striker Moussa Dembele with his follow-through after a tackle, having initially won the ball.

    Dalglish said: "Jay will be upset, but we will have a little look and see whether it is worthwhile appealing.

    "I think you need to ask the referees what the interpretation is."

    Spearing was shown a straight red card by referee Kevin Friend after 71 minutes, with the score at 0-0, before Clint Dempsey's late winner sealed victory for Fulham to move them 13th in the league.

    Dalglish added: "It is frustrating because nobody tells us what the level of acceptance is. Jay had no other thought on his mind other than to win the ball - and he did win it.

    "I am not a referee. Sometimes they have been given, sometimes they haven't. As long as they are consistent, there is no problem."

    A series of decisions went against Liverpool. Charlie Adam was denied a penalty after being brought down by Philippe Senderos, while Suarez had a strike disallowed for offside.

    Discussing the game, Dalglish said: "It could have gone either way but I don't think we were going to get anything tonight, were we?

    "The goal Luis Suarez scored that was ruled offside could have gone either way. Charlie Adam could have got a penalty when he was pulled down on the edge of the box.

    "Tonight wasn't as well as we've been playing, but it was enough to have won the game. We never got the luck but we have just got to brush ourselves off and get on with it."

    the Fa have done Fa for us so far in terms of getting in a 100% fit goalie so fully expect to get Fa from the Fa in relation to Suarez

    If they did go for a ban Liverpool would appeal. I don't think he'd do the same at Loftus Road, we're a bit closer!...:grin:

    If he's charged he will be given time to respond and that will take it past Saturday, no joy for us there me thinks

    Doesn't Suarez come across as a charming fellow!!!!

    And as for Dalgleish, well straight out of the SAF school of wingeing.

    Maybe they are rattled about Saturday, more convinced now we can get something from the game.

    I quite like him. The diving aside he seems eager to get stuck in, works hard despite being such a talented player and isn't afraid to give a bit of stick back. Is there really anything so wrong about 'giving the finger'? It's hardly crime of the century and I'm sure he copped plenty of abuse from the Fulham fans in between their cucumber sandwiches.

    Perhaps he was showing them that the last time he sliced cucumber, he cut his finger...I'm giving the guy every chance
