Apparently Mansfield left 96 seats empty as a mark of respect.

I think Suarez was expecting the goal to be ruled out after the rather lethargic boot into the net. No way the goal should have been allowed to stand but that's the officials problem.
Suarez. :bow:
Slimy fuck.
i see espn have released a statement about john champion's line "its the work of a cheat" about suarez goal.
why was there any need for this?Quote:
“We take our responsibility to deliver the highest standards of coverage to our viewers. ESPN’s editorial policy is for commentators to be unbiased and honest, to call things as they see them. Inevitably this can involve treading a fine line on occasion, especially in the heat of the moment. Comments during the Mansfield v Liverpool match caused offence where none was intended and we have spoken to our commentator about this incident.”
also suarez doesnt help himself, it might be the referees job to spot the handball, but he knew he handled it and so did the thousand fans behind hte goal, so kissing his hand isnt hte most sensible thing to do. (i know he does it for his wife and child) but surely he has to think?
Nothing wrong with what Suarez did. He thought it would be ruled out and wouldn't have complained hence the lack of celebration. The commentator was a dick for saying what he did
do it once, and then its fair to say the commentator was out of order. however its not suarez's first offence is it? the handball and celebration against ghana, the countless dives etc. he has earnt a reputation for being a cheat and its no ones fault but his. so if he then scores a handball goal, given his other offences, its not that unreasonable to suggest he is a cheat.

read the comments section. some brilliant ones in there
The attitude that there's nothing wrong with players cheating is one of the things wrong with football these days. The Olympics were so uplifting and inspiring because of the sportsmanship shown by the vast majority of athletes. They were all trying to be the best but mostly in a fair way. That's what sport should be about, not who can cheat best and get away with it, not who has the most money to throw around.
