I'm sure his brother is still involved with that stuff isn't he? Either way, Psycho is a legend.

So you believe despite his racist taunting of a fellow professional he is the right man for the job.

We've never been worse in this country.

It seems he apologised, and everyone directly involved believes the incident should be consigned to history. Don't know why the tabloids suddenly consider it to be relevant. Maybe in 25 years Suarez will also have a similarly rehabilitated image?

Why is time an issue all of a sudden? Suarez is brandished a racist now, for an incident that's in the past.

I'm off to watch Swansea vs Norwich today with my mate who is a Swansea fan. Bloody looking forward to it, I like both teams though so I'm hoping for a draw and a damn good game :-)

I'm also hoping the atmosphere will be a bit better than the Barcelona v Sociedad game I went to last Saturday, that was flat as hell!

Wonderful place to watch a game, but with the huge number of tourists (which we were part of) the atmosphere is really fragmented. Only time the crowd stirred above more than a murmur was for 'El Cant del Barca' and acclaim Lionel Messi scoring a quite brilliant hattrick.

Which in a fit of self-indulgence I'm going to post:

By that token I might as well accuse you of being a bed wetter because you did it when you were 2.

People can change in 15 years, especially when they immediately apologise. People probably don't change in 6 weeks, especially when they and their cunt of a club still insist they did absolutely nothing wrong.

Perhaps if he apologises...

edit: I think the Pearce story is 'in the public interest'. I hadn't heard about it, and better that it comes out now than when we play a team that abuses our black players, only for the FA to make a complaint and the opposition FA to throw that back at us

Today, one of the newspapers prints "Suarez: His Only Interview".

It is in The Sun. Boy, that will go down well.

It's a bad translation of an interview he gave on the radio in Uruguay. He hasn't spoken to them.

Normal parlance where I come from.. Where's that scouse sense of humour anyway.

Where you come from you sing 'You Scouse Bastard' at Torres and then without a hint of irony chant Rooney's name.

I went to the Nou Camp once.. Got pretty lucky.

Why? It already came out in the press ages ago. Hell, the thing about his brother being in the BNP was already aired in The People 3 1/2 years ago. So why bring it up again now?

I went at the start of this season - watched them destroy Villareal 5-0. Strange atmosphere in some respects, very little singing but lots of Mexican waves (?). Much more laid back than British games but no less enjoyable.

Probably don't change?

Suarez apologised regardless, and has been punished far more than Pearce has.

The sad fact is that in 15 years you lot would still call Suarez a racist, and the ManU fans will maintain that forever.

And yet "Real Englishman Pearce" isn't the same. Irony.

What happened to the "once a racist always a racist" twaddle that was spouted around here a while back?

Good work team.

I can't believe how bitter and deluded some liverpool fans in this place still are.

Let it go. He did bad, he got punished, the world moves on.

Ferguson has been spouting off about it again mind. Quite why he can't be quiet about it...oh wait it's moaning air Al! Sorry I forgot.

:facepalm:

I think you'll find that Pearce immediately apologised, while Suarez has (even now) consistently insisted that he has done nothing wrong. Hence, the punishment.

And why is his brother even remotely relevant anyway?

Exactly, but The Sun clearly want to link it in order to get people to believe that if the brother can be racist and since Pearce once called someone on the field by a racist name, he MUST therefore be fully racist in the same way that John Terry might be.

We're now focussed on how he's a dirty thug, rather than his use of racial slurs.

So presumably if one of your players is a dirty thug in todays game (and there is one candidate for that) you won't mind liverpool fans banging on about it constantly and at every possible moment then? Because so far the non-liverpool fans are doing an excellent job of being bitter and unable to move on as much as some of the Liverpool fans they keep baiting. Theres been a lot of criticism of the club and fans recently, much of which is deserved. That said, the sheer hypocrisy of some people in their attacks and constant need to keep the incident at the top of discussion in this thread by constantly baiting Liverpool fans isn't exactly taking the moral high ground either. Thank christ there was something else to talk about this week.

It's pathetic really, most Liverpool supporters on this forum have either condemned Suarez and/or the club over the incident and mostly kept quiet about the incident, yet several Man utd supporters and neutrals have seeked out any and all opportunities to bait and attack them. It's a bit rich to complain Liverpool fans haven't moved on when it's the non Liverpool fans making the most active noise about it.

Your totally right, people need to move on, but the people making the most noise about it and showing an inability to move on are mostly the people who don't support Liverpool. Ok, you used the qualifier "some" so you aren't attacking the group, but the thread as a whole is still full of poison from an incident that should have been closed weeks ago.
