Dalglish......muppet

[Bill_Oddie]

Reading parts of this thread it becomes increasingly obvious why Dalglish and Liverpool are so clearly in the wrong.

Football fans often have quite a slim grasp on racial issues and by condoning abuse or, worse, victimising an individual who complains of abuse, you could quite easily end up in a situation where your fans are doing monkey impressions in the stadium. Funny how that hasn't happened for a while, eh?

Dalglish is a great man, the way he supported a community at the time Liverpool fans were lost at Hillsborough is commendable...but I must admit I was surprised by his stance regarding Saurez a player with a checkered disciplinary background in Holland and now England. Saurez played on ignorance as a defence and that fool Poyet trying to justify it was just as shameful regarding addressing a fellow professional footballer an opponent by racially insulting terms.

Chelsea fans booing Rio Ferdinand is an insight of an underlining problem that has never gone away and to be honest may never totally be gone...shame but that's other peoples weakness.

I think our beloved Keith Burkinshaw said it best

There used to be a club there.

For us it helped steer us from going down a dark road and we're better for it today

For them, they have long fluttered on the edge of epic loathsomeness, one of the last clubs to break the colour barrier, Heysel, using the Hillsborough tragedy as a shield them from scrutiny, death threats to bankers and pundits, being labelled the worst fans by UEFA. Now they are nose-diving into the abyss. Henry thinks he might market a truly foul club and set of supporters to the rest of the world. It will end up breaking him. Good!

NEVER GO BACK - He was such a classy guy in the past but hes now a pale imitation of his former self. He cant cope with Fergie being the Alpha male IMO. Very sad as he was a bit of a hero for me (Glaswegian roots).

Always thought the geezer was a bit of a spam purse but the way he's behaved recently has confirmed it for me!! I don't see how he hasn't been charged for his comments and defence in this incident.

Having said that he was quite gracious in defeat against us at the lane. Even still, the guy infuriates me!

Please, how many matches should he have been suspended for ?

I think 3 would have been severe enough punishment, that's the same as a straight red for a dangerous tackle.

I have yet to see a players career ended for getting verbal abuse from another player

So racial abuse should carry the same punishment as a bad tackle?

Yes , I know that is severe but there you go

It needs stamped out - pardon the pun

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Fucking hell.

So Dalglish now apologises for yet more appalling behaviour yesterday!

Well too late by the classless individual who has dragged the great name of LFC through the gutter!

My reading of the situation is that it is a sad indictment of the power players have in football at this time.

The FA found Suarez guilty of saying things that would get most people fired from their jobs, but Dalglish, and liverpool as a whole, have been more concerned with trying to keep Suarez happy.

If someone at my workplace said that kind of thing, our manager would have a chat with them in the office, it would be sorted or the individual would be clearing their desk.

Dalglish seems to be primarily concerned with keeping their star striker happy, probably fearing that if Suarez decided the pull a strop Tevez style, Dalglish's job would be infinitely more difficult.

Sadly I think that this attitude is prevalent in modern football. Many utterly dispicable characters can get away with an awful lot that they would not get away with in other areas of life. Whether it be Suarez, Terry, Barton, Giggs, Rooney or even Paolo Di Canio under Redknapp, their clubs will not do anything however morally reprehensible they are as they are too important to the clubs to risk bruising their egos.

The only time I can think that a club actually properly dealt with something like this was when Chelsea sacked Mutu, but they had the money to afford to do so.
