Damnit.Wish Suarez would have picked the ball up and given it to their keeper and carried on. Nice bit of fair play - plus, it'd be the right thing to do. Would have helped on so many fronts.Also, Mansfield deserves that kinda sportmanship.
Batten down the hatches, this will be all over the media tomorrow. Couldn't have picked a worse match to do that in, it will be bedlam. What a shame, the witch hunt begins again.
Lets be honest Mansfield more than deserve to be level here after that blistering start. United next week, the handball brouhaha might take some of the pressure of the lads...And I'm sure Luis doesn't give a toss about the media.
Going by the GIF Azi posted here, not sure if Suarez meant to handle it, if you look at the way he immediately pulls his hand away.
Had Luis scored that goal against the Mancs, I would have been delighted. Against Mansfield Town, it feels dirty. Should have told the ref it was not a goal.
Am I on my own in thinking that wasn't intentional?
Hard to say. I thought it was but I'm sure it will be poured over for hours on Sky.
There goes the Footballer of the Year award
Pretty damned quick reactions if he did do it deliberately....quicker than a pilot...
Modern football:Goal for Sunderland v Libpool off a fucking beachball = "Tough shit, Scousers, the ref gave the goal, deal with it."Goal for Libpool v Mansfield Town off someone's hand from point-blank range = "Typical Scousers - Suarez is a fucking cheat!"
The worst thing is the hysteria the press will evoke about Suarez kissing his wrist or "hand" after.That picture will be the back page of every tabloid with something along the lines of 'CHEAT' as the caption.I mean the BBC, supposedly the best source of journalism in the UK, had this to say on his goal:"Boos ring around Field Mill as Suarez cheekily kisses his hand in front of the away fans."Fergie will be saying the same things in his press conferences this week just like he did when Rafa waved his hands after we scored the Blackburn goal.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
