Obviously Liverpool have far higher standards than Barcelona. Disgusting excuse for a human being.

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Yeah......
The same Liverpool that bought him from Ajax knowing he's a biter
The same Liverpool that celebrated his racial vilification of Evra
The same Liverpool that kept him even though he took a chunk out of ivanovich's arm
The same Liverpool that kept him even though he openly called his manager a liar

Liverpool's behaviour has been just as 'disgusting'........but hey, they're $50m better off....they signed him to a 5 year deal knowing it was only a matter of time before they would sell him. They were more than happy for Suarez to insist on a $75m buy out clause....

Oh you’re serious about this?
Thought this was just the good old fashioned bantz.

If you’re looking for morality in football clubs you’ll be looking for a while.

Me personally, I prefer my players doing their indiscretions on the pitch.
Drink driving, losing your license for speeding repeatedly, cheating for a decade on your wife, super super injunctions, shagging a granny hooker, being up for rape are probably all bigger moral issues to society than what happens when 22 players chase some leather around.

I look forward to when we you can display the same MORAL OUTRAGE and disgust without goggles on.

Disagree about what? Your whole point is pretty silly TBH.
Apply these standards to every club and we could make a forum for this kind of chit chat.

Dear Kop

I was simply responding to the following statement......

B.Toomer

Obviously Liverpool have far higher standards than Barcelona.


Liverpool have been complicit in directly/indirectly endorsing his behaviour by not selling him sooner. They chose not to sell him even when 'good' Liverpool people wanted him out because of 2 reasons...
1 - what he was worth on the pitch in terms of goals
2 - what he was worth off it...

Liverpool compromised their own values because of the above.....would other clubs have done the same....probably yes (including Man U...who by the way got rid of Keane, RVN, Stam and Beckham to name but a few because of various reasons)

but to state that Liverpool have higher standards than Barcelona because they've finally sold him (on Liverpools terms) is comical......

One reason those players were shown the door, they crossed your former manager with their lifestyle choices & opinions when they didn't fit in with his personal preferences.

So what were the bad behaviours that they were guilty of?

It seems at Man Utd the biggest crime is to not have been Fergies lap dog, if you are you can do whatever you want ala Rooney, Giggs etc.

the point I was making (and this thread shouldn't be about Man U) was that for WHATEVER reason a club/coach can make a stand against individual players even if it means cutting your nose to spite your face.

Quite simply, Liverpool knew what they were getting with Suarez and endorsed his behaviours until they could off-load him at a premium and after they'd given the premiership title a real shake....Profit and premiership points were more important that making a stand against him....

once again...just refuting the claim that Liverpool have a 'higher set of values' than Barcelona....not that hard to understand really....

Endorsed how?

Luis, you've been a very naughty boy. We'll sell you now to one of our rivals for a CL spot...

With every indiscretion the club didn't force the issue with authorities, accepted the ban and moved on.
After the Ivanovic bite the club had him seeing a psychologist and his behaviour was exemplary for Liverpool. Not surprised back in high pressure environment, with the pre-tournament injury and weight of expectation for Uruguay that it happened again.

If this is a wind up, its pretty good i'll give you that much.

What does that prove?

Now that both players have left Man U and Liverpool respectively maybe you can look at that again with some more objectivity.

Player who's native tongue is French, engages in conversation leading off with an insult which made no grammatical sense to a Spanish speaker in a European-Spanish dialect then which then all gets translated back into English aided by the help of body language experts. Same experts also concluded that accuser was in a good mental state despite arguing the coin toss among other things.

Right.

Stitch up if there ever was one.

First of all Keane retired due to injury, he didn't leave Man Utd
Secondly Suarez was acquitted of being a racist.

Please show us evidence to prove otherwise.

It is well know Luis Garcia finished Roy Keane, that is what made him exit Man Utd. So what if he played a handful of games afterwards, it was because of Garcia he was finished. Nothing to do with Ferguson getting rid of a top player. Jim Beglin played for Leeds after Liverpool, but again it was his broken leg that finished him. Gordon Cowans almost lost a foot, but played again, but not the same....the list goes on and on and on....

As for the racism, he was not found guilty of being a racist

Silly man....
Roy Keane has dramatically left Manchester United, reportedly after another acrimonious dispute with Sir Ferguson.

Both club and player today insisted the decision to part ways was by "mutual consent", however sources in Ireland suggest that Keane had a blazing row with the United manager after being told he wasn't wanted for a reserve game against West Brom last night.

Keane was also told that he was being stripped of the captaincy, after which he realised he had no future at Old Trafford.

That row followed weeks of tension at the club, following comments made by Keane on the club's television channel MUTV, during which he criticised seven of his team-mates. However, there was little sign of that acrimony in the statements from Keane and the club today.

I always thought Keane was forced out because he was a big headed knob who when well past his used by date slagged off his own club and teammates

Didn't he get frustrated when he knew he wasn't the same player anymore? All stemming from his injury?
