Fergie: Nice Of Liverpool To Go Through The Press

Following Luis Suarez’s eight match ban for being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, Liverpool FC refused to accept that their striker or club had done anything wrong.

Despite refusing to apologise to Evra, reports in the press claimed that Liverpool wanted to engage in “peace talks” with United. It was a strange claim, given that just a few days ago their official statement on the matter essentially accused our club of fabricating the whole case to get Suarez banned.

“This case has provided a template in which a club’s rival can bring about a significant ban for a top player without anything beyond an accusation.”

Unsurprisingly, Sir Alex Ferguson was dismissive of this today.

“It is nice of them to do it through the press,” said Ferguson. “You would have thought they would come to Manchester United first. I do not see why there is any need for it. But I have nothing to say about it.”

    That’s cause there tossers and crap .smplicity .

    Liverpool’s shoddy approach to the Suarez debacle is like that of a drunken dinosaur.
    They stumble from one disgrace to another. When will it end?

    All they’re interested in is Suarez being most able to compete fully on his return.
    Nothing else seems relevant.

  3. Anand says:

    Let them come knocking on our door and read our welcome mat laid specially for them, with the same suarez t-shirt print on it, shit sticking out when dogs wiped their paws over it. And let it read ‘fuck off you racist bastards – keep your apologies for those who want them’.

  4. Mikekelly12 says:

    Durham was on talkshite today slagging off Sir Alex saying he was being irresponsible by not talking to the dippers. Said Liverpool and suarez had apologised and were showing humility in asking to talk and Sir Alex had a duty to diffuse the situation!!! WHAT?! You fucking arsehole!!

  5. smartalex says:

    Apparently there’s nothing to talk about. If Liverpool have a thought worth expressing, perhaps they’ll tell the press, call United, or ask for a meeting. Unless that happens, are we supposed to call all the other clubs regularly, for no reason other than to ask “What’s up?”

    Do we need to ‘make-up’?

    Between Liverpool, Suarez and the press, there’s been enough made up already.

  6. Gandalf says:

    Good one Fergie – do not see the need too.
    What has united got to do with it. Liverpool are the paranoid ones, talking of phantom missing stuff.
    Suarez made the mistake, now paid the price and that is over now. Lets move on with the game, there is no need to talk to liverpool at all. Anyway, I think apart from the deserved boos and chants, I expect our fans will be busy with supporting our team in what will be an important match what with the title in sight and all – don’t expect looserpool to understand that! LOL.

  7. gora says:

    I fuckin’ hate looserfool. Funny thing is my mum supports them. I cant diss them when she’s around but here i can. Fuck you liverpool. Losers, cunts, dicks and all

  8. Doghouse says:

    EH EH CALM DOWN CALM DOWN.

  9. Alan says:

    Dalglish and Liverpool are gonna go to Old Trafford and give that very average Man Utd team a good beating.

    Wait and see….

  10. Doghouse says:

    Seriously though, fuck Liverpool. I don’t care about who wins our next game against them, that doesn’t matter. This whole business has made them look horrendously small time and clownish.

  11. smartalex says:

    Alan – That’s the spirit! Focussing on the football.

    You are wrong though, you won’t beat us.

    Remember, United’s average is to win 1 or more trophies, whereas Liverpool’s average is
    well, pretty average.

  12. gerkeo says:

    In all honesty, can Liverpool even be considered a big club anymore? It’s truly a case of united games being the highlight of their season. Small time. Fair enough they won a champions league but so have porto recently enough.

  13. izzy says:

    SAF did well not to give a shite about this issue.. Liverpool have been trying to stir up the conflict, but we kept ignoring them. hahaha i am loving this.

    Poor liverpool……. Be it Rafa or Kenny, their managers will always be shite and shite all the way. hahahaaha

  14. Runcorn red says:

    @mikekelly…Durhams a gobshite,he`s been waiting for the smallest titbit from utd so he can turn it around on them,hates utd…have you ever listened to his show when utd get beat? He creams all over goffy.

  15. izzy says:

    @Gerkeo

    Yeah, they think they’re still a big time club based on their track record from a millions years ago :P Big club with small mentality = Shite and no title since lineker was an england ace…..

    To me, Liverpool is on the same level as Newcastle and Blackburn interms of their “has been” status go…..

  16. Gandalf says:

    Alan – come back in Feb, we shall see if you are right. BTW, please tell me when was the last time under dalglish your team gave any other top team a good beating?
    I don’t think liverpool have looked like that at all and that is a rational opinion, mind you! Liverpool is looking very awkward if you ask me and now even reina is dodgy.

  17. gerkeo says:

    @izzy: yeah its been a long time since Liverpool could consider themselves contenders in the title racist, sorry I mean title race.

  18. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Liverpool deserve to be charged directly by the FA. Nothing about United, just for their refusal to follow the FA’s requests on this. Durham has always been a disgrace when it comes to United. Can’t wait till this round of pundits retires. Bring on the age of the Nevilles.

  19. Devil310 says:

    This whole thing defined the character of that club and its supporters. Shameful pool.

  20. Costas says:

    Too late for that. I’d rather french kiss a Stoke fan.

  21. RedScot says:

    Well said Boss and rightly so.Show some protocol in dealings between the clubs.Stick to the rules as laid down bye the FA at the begining of this sad sad charade.If they saw it as demeaning of the once great Liverpool to approach United I am sure the Football Association would have arbitrated, to reach an amicable agreement.

    My suggestion it may have been suggested, sorry, have not been following the ROM forum for a few days would be to withdraw ‘all’ Liverpools tickets as the away support on the 11th of February.Not as an act of revenge, no most certainly not.As an act of safety to all members of the public in Manchester and the sorrounding areas.Revenge will be on the horizon for some people with zero between their ears.

    Or prepare for the vilest of chanting resurfacing, criminal damage, bodily harm, partner bashing.

    This is Great Britain the year is 2012. Is it not.

    Thought I would just put my tuppenth worth in.
    Cheers.

    Why listen to talkshite. He winds King Eric up too. :D

    Hi, had a fault on my cable/ broadband since Tues eve and seem to have missed some unsavoury trolls making a comeback of sorts.
    Whats with the sudden lovefest with the previous – thought he’d gone – resident racist?
    Unbelievable.
    It would be nice to see Scot / ROM taking a stance on racism in posts on the blog, especially ones that have expressed such views consistently over long periods.
    In view of ROM’s rightful onslaught of the scousers re the Suarez affair, i’m a little surprised something hasn’t been done regarding the comments.
    ROM seems to have a huge following with fellow Reds from Africa and the Indian sub-continent and making a stand now would surely be the right thing to do?
    Lets hope STR is working on it!

    ( i just posted this on an old thread by mistake)

  24. WillieRedNut says:

    You couldn’t beat snow off a rope Alan. 19

    Spot on Sir Alex. Why go through the media? Liverpool are fast becoming like city. Small time.

  25. Red Devil says:

    The gaffer has spoken :D

    Let him have it OT lads…the racist cunt deserves no mercy :D

  26. Denise Williams says:

    Fabulous post Red Scot those are my feelings exactly. You only have to read the posts on the internet from Liverpool fans. They are spoiling for trouble making threats of violence on an hourly basis. That I feel it would be a common sense approach not to give them any tickets. My fear is that we could need the whole of the London Police as well as Manchester Police to keep that lot under any kind of control. The problem is how can anyone stop them killing Evra or anyone else connected to Manchester United? Much safer that all Liverpool fans are banned. This story is a ploy to make their club look good in the eyes of the press and as usual that asshole of a Durham has fallen for it. It is certainly not any real desire for peace or a recognition of wrong doing. It is yet another disgusting publicity stunt that we are well used to by now. Actually the press ought to be too but Durham has always been a total thicko.

  27. James21 says:

    Denise
    I have my stab vest ready. It was bad enough sitting next to them in the FA cup last season, seats and all kinds of missiles coming over. Still wound them up though.

    Its in my Blood
    Hi mate I replied on other thread.

  28. RedScot says:

    @ Denise Williams thank you lady. Dear what a thought regards your suggestion that those people might resort to seek revenge on Patrice Evra,shocking I also have seen what you are suggesting Denise.
    Adrian Durham i have long said is a sensationalist to seek attention to cause controversy and basically stir it up. He was not aware earlier that Liverpool football club had not even had the common courtesy to contact him directly, to assess if there was something that could be done, to reduce tensions and stop the pot boiling over.
    Anyway Denise liked communicating with you, and I will say I read some of your posts on this issue on Rom they were well thought through loyal with balance.Fair Play to you.
    I dont stay on ROM much nowadays, tend to get myself in trouble, particularly if i am on the swallie(drink) Which I am not tonight.

  29. united.george says:

    One can only wonder what the atmosphere would be like….Will the players shake hands if Suarez is playing? Who knows, maybe Evra and Suarez will end up not playing altogether…..

    I cannot wait to watch that match, will be one of the best this season!

  30. James21 says:

    Utd.George
    I’ll get East stand rocking I love mocking the Scousers.
    Interesting thought about Saurez. I felt the same, maybe the two clubs will agree to disagree and not play both players.
    Depends on our injuries though. :)

  31. bruce thomas says:

    How can they have peace talks when Sewerez hasn’t apologized to Evra?

    It’s yet another attempt at taking the PR high ground that’s fucked up badly.

  32. united.george says:

    James21 – Sing loud! and dont forget the cedars banner:-)

    Yes by that time, with our current injuries, DDG will probably play in Evra’s spot.

  33. WillieRedNut says:

    Fuck all the handshake bollox. If Evra’s fit, he plays. We won’t be told what to do by Liverpool FC. If they wanted talks on this matter, they should have kept it on the quiet. Instead, they go through the media. Stupid cunts.

  34. James21 says:

    United.george
    DDG at left back, ha brilliant. I think thats why he’s not sold PIG, just incase we need a spare forward.
    My good friends banner will be flying high.

  35. brisbanefan says:

    Can anyone else remember football in the 50s when things were nice and peaceful – and Liverpool were in the 2nd Division.

  36. Thad says:

    Let liverpool come, their threats of violence is the norm. in reality they get run over all Manchester, same with the berties on Sunday!

  37. SP says:

    Alan,

    It seems Liverpool are trailing an average team by 11 points in the table. What does that make Liverpool?

  38. WillieRedNut says:

    Rat munching cunts?

  39. redbilly says:

    Did they really think the old fox would be drawn into their mind games…he invented them . The best thing SAF and the club did was to stick to the FA requests not to comment. Simply trying to draw the club into further conflict.

  40. Doghouse says:

    Fucking Scouse twats at it again in the match tonight. Looks like Suarez, and the way the club has handled that, have brought the rats out of their holes.

  41. Emme says:

    @Alan
    ‘Dalglish and Liverpool are gonna go to Old Trafford and give that very average Man Utd team a good beating.

    Wait and see…’.

    Well as a Utd fan i wouldn’t be surprised if the Dippers give us a good skinning at OT, given our current sqaud and management. But i still hate the Dippers, anyway! And shame on them for the way they’ve handled the Suarez issue!!

  42. Emme says:

    But still, credit to Fergie for not falling for Liverpool’s shit.

  43. wiuru says:

    Take it they were practicing at Oldham for there assualt on Paddy Evra in February

  44. scan74 says:

    mike kelly 12 durham is one of the saddest twats to hit the airwarves talkshite justs say something contrevastial !! for the sake of it

    the other day he was slagging liverpool and cunt kenny for there handling of it bloke is a twat

  45. brett1985 says:

    So what will be the response of United fans when Liverpool visit?

    I do tend to think that the ‘Suarez..racist bastard chant’ slightly trivialises the issue in that it combines a chant against racism in a somewhat upbeat song.

    In fact I am overall concious of the behavior of united fans milking the incident but at the same time I think we also have a duty to show our disgust and the disgust of the football world.

    Booing their players every touch for 90 minutes might be a good way of achieving this. Of course it is also an opinion to let Liverpool fans hang themselves with inevitable booing of Patrice Evra.

  46. Denise Williams says:

    Red Scot have you heard the latest regarding Liverpool Fans? They played Oldham in the FA Cup and subjected a young blach lad playing for Oldham to continuous vile racist abuse. It was so bad the young lad was in floods of tears. Liverpool FC say they will investigate it but do any of us really trust them where racism is concerned? I am sure I don’t. The FA should force them to play for the rest of the season with none of their fans allowed. The truth is Liverpool have not helped this situation with their refusal to condemn the racist tweets directed at Patrice Evra. It is becoming clear that Liverpool FC are institutionally racist from top to bottom and strong action must be taken.

  47. KVN says:

    I listened to talkshite with durham talking nonsense.part of his job is to sensationalise things to create a reaction so peeps phone in. So what he says on radio is to get peeps to phone. Anyway I think liverpool have really left their brains in the toilet as their actions have done nothing but bring their once famous club down into the gutter through supporting a man who racially abused another man. Suarez tried to deny it and lied, said the word negro is used in his country in a friendly way to black peeps or to family. But independent experts agreed but also said it can be used to cause offence and if said this way is racist. Bcos he never crossed examined their report he accepted their findings therefore when you look at the video footage he’s talking to evra in an agreesive way. Even trying to provoke him more. Daglish and others have been shamed by the fa’s detailed and comprehensve report. Remember the victim evra. They wanted to discredit and tarnish him. So did peeps in media like alan brazil from talkshite and others in the media. maybe because they’re white and never experienced racism they ignorant to it, and come out with statements like fifa president sepp blatter did.
    Evra, Saf and united have conducted themselves
    In the right way. And by not playing to the media have shown class, integrity and dignity.
    United
