That's part of them learning right from wrong.

Only trouble in this case is there's no victim. Somebody getting murdered just for walking on the street, that's a victim. Patrice Evra having somebody say mean things to him, not really a candidate for victim status. He's a cunt but hardly a victim.Quote:

I thought with Liverpool's initial stance that there might've been a lot more to the story. It seems there isn't. Pathetic behaviour from Liverpool.
Nope, they can be explained to what is right and what is wrong. Coercing someone to apologise renders it meaningless. I explain to my son what is right and what is wrong and give him time and space to think. When the apology comes - I know he has learnt something and I know he means it.Quote:

But sometimes they do need to be told when they dont realise what they have done wrong.
In Suarez and LFC's case, they've been told, but opened their mouths without any thought.
The way we've handled it has been a total shambles from day one, tbf.Quote:

I wonder what other forms of moral outrage we can conjure up while we wave the flags for the murdering cunts shooting up the sand niggers so they can steal their oil? Like I said, fucked up world.
Agreed, you should have told the FA to go fuck themselves.Quote:
