The lack of objectivity on many issues is what irks.
What would we all think of this guy if he played for Chelsea? Would we be citing past examples in the hope that 'justice' is served? Would we bollocks.
When Terry got done for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand - were there pages upon pages of precedents showing worse examples? Were people saying they'd prefer it to a career ending tackle?
You can't have one rule for one and one for another. It just makes you an ignorant supporter.
You've missed the fucking point by miles. Those other cases
have give us perspective regarding the punishments served out on Suarez. I have posted several times since the race incident about Ferdinand, when he called Ashley Cole a "choc ice". Dress that comment up any way, but it's racial slur. The outcome? A £50k fine and him going straight onto Twitter to tell everyone that he wasn't sorry he did it, that he would "say what I want to say" and then laughing at the punishment. The outcome? Nothing. No widespread condemnation.
If Suarez played for Chelsea, people would condemn him, like most have done. The only defense, which isn't an actual defense of his actions, something yourself and Rosco seem to have a complete inability to construe, is that the punishment is once again pulled out of thin air. I understand there is no precedent to this, which is why we look at
other punishments given to big name players.
I don't really understand why that's so hard to comprehend. Yet we're the ignorant supporters.
All this crap like "I'm so detached from this, ergo I'm so much better than you lot" is cuntish, oneupmanship bollocks. You understand nothing about the affinity people have with the club and it's almost embedded instinct to, if not protect our own, then look for fairness in it's treatment. This has gone beyond punishment to Suarez, as a club we've been punished more heavily than his International side, whom he was on duty for. The player has been punished and as a result, his club side have been given the shitty end of stick. The club side that rehabilitated him last season and got a clean, career best performance out of him as a result. But no, not according to Ryan, no, we're all defending him, we're all cabbages and retards, morons.
Here's a question for you then, I hope you manage to decipher it, what with it coming from a cabbage. We do all that rehabilitation work, then he goes away with Uruguay and they reap the rewards of our hardwork, only for him to then go off the rails in
their environment. Fair? Of course it's not. I don't give a shit if they ban Luis from International football for life. If he'd done this again in a Liverpool shirt, then no one could argue about them throwing the book at him. That's not the case though, it's a situation completely out of his club's hands, but they have come down on us the hardest, particularly when the player reportedly didn't even want to stay beyond this season. Our hands are tied by his actions, by a governing body intent on making us the collateral damage, when it's completely unnecessary to do so. Where's our reward for his rehabilitation and the brilliant coaching he's had this season? There isn't any.
I don't think you even realise how much of a jumped up, patronising, aggressive, arrogant and insulting poster you can be at times. And pointing out my spats with Modo as a reason for that to be ok, is a tad hypocritical, coming from you, you who've hounded Dreambeliever for years, sneering at his lack of eloquence and calling him all the "thick cunts" under The Lying Rag, for what's been, by and large, pretty inoffensive posting. Yet you have to look down your nose at him, because he's not as intelligent as you are. Go you, you must be so proud of yourself.
Bit of a shame really, because when you put the playground-bully crap away, you make some great contributions to the site, unfortunately you can't post anything these days without branding everyone as some kind of fuckwit, coz we just don't "get it", or in DB's case, he's not intelligent enough.
Ever thought that for all your posturing about how you've played the game and understand it more than most, you haven't got a fucking clue when it comes to the heart people have for the club, the city and it's players? Ever thought that it's you who doesn't "get it"? People have reiterated throughout this thread that they don't condone what Luis has done, you came in last night and posted a load of jumbled up nonsense about John Hartson and Shearer and tried to paint LTW and me with the same brush. We didn't mention anything about what ex players were saying, I noticed you didn't bother replying to Buddha's post which more than set you straight. Probably because he's not retarded enough for you to lay into.
So I'll leave you to it, enjoy your day telling everyone how much of a deluded spaz they are. Knock yourself out pal.
