Weekend Fixtures 11th/12th February

[Ollie the Optimist]

They're both childish and pathetic. Evra was given the opportunity to react as he did and for that reason Suarez is an idiot. Frankly all the talk about the body language of who dropped their hand (of which I am guilty of as well) is clutching at straws and isn't helping things either.

What's worse though is the media reaction. It's been blown out of all proportion, whilst simultaneously covering over many, much worse, actions of ex and currant-United players.

Making this ridiculous handshake circus compulsory does nothing to promote respect. It only gets airtime when the players don't get on, like yesterday. Normally they're quick enough to go to the adverts, or a chance to show the teams.

handshake being comulsory as you say doesnt promote respect i get that. the question i have though is why did the fa cancel john terrys handshake and not this one? surely its both or none at all. no one covered themselves in glory but liverpool have been the worst throughout the whole affair, t shirts, statements etc. all could have been solved if first statement was we wont comment until we have report/evidence etc

Our PR team should be flogged and sacked there's no doubt about it. But you're right, it should have been cancelled yesterday. And altogether.

Maccy: Hypocrisy in the media? Surely not.

Joker: I'll hazard a guess that privately the club are disappointed with Suarez. Whether he wanted to or not, frankly I don't care. Anyone could predict the furore if he didn't do it. Edit: Actually I wasn't aware of that interview in the Telegraph; Suarez has made him look a bit foolish.

Either way, he'll be gone in the summer.
