It's the way he reacted afterwards that did it for me. Classless.
It wasn't the first time he's disgraced himself either.

Yeah, there are very few footballers I'd want to have a drink with. He's not one of them.

The culture excuse is pathetic imo. It doesn't make it any less wrong. Suarez knew what he was doing and he got caught.

To be fair I know a few Scousers who think he is a tw@t as well not trying to have a pop at you Face you seem a good lad.

I used to watch him play for Ajax on ESPN and his work rate/commitment put me in mind of Bryan Robson, only in striker form and I used to think how I'd love him to play at United...not any more.
I actually blame that other obnoxious individual, Kenny Dalglish, for handling his situation, badly. It could and should have been dealt with differently.
Makes me wonder how Ferguson would have handled the player at that time?

Also, he's stopped diving, think he's had a talking to/realised he wasn't getting anything. Think the same thing happened to bale too.

In addition to my previous post, it is not how you get on with people you like that determines if you're a racist, it is how you treat strangers/people you don't like. That is the acid test.

His comments don't make him a racist imo but what he said was racist. Tried to wind Evra up by using his race to insult him.

I said it was racist what he did but it doesn't make him a racist person.
