I don't think any of us expected the events of yesterday at Old Trafford prior to the Utd v Liverpool game,i mean even in Suarez still hated Evra for his 8 match ban and all that went on around it surely the Liverpool management would have drummed it into him to shake hands and move on ,well it appears not.
The first reaction is not really one of surprise because Louis Suarez has form from his time at Ajax and we all saw the unsporting reaction during the Ghana match after his sending off during the last world cup but then you wonder is he just a nasty piece of work who ignored all that was said to him or have Liverpool as a club under the leadership of Kenny Dalgleish really started to lose the plot?
Well looking at the interview on Sky Sports after the match and his reaction to the questions (I did not see it) I think says it all and for whatever reason Dalgleish and Liverpool have adopted a siege mentality,pulled up the drawbridge and somehow management to put the most hated club in the country,man Utd, in the right,for god sake I found myself agreeing with Fergie last night.
What makes it worse is that the Liverpool fans who,back in the 70's & 80's were the most admired and respected in the land appear to have adopted this "Our players and managers can do no wrong" attitude and adding themselves to the unpopularity bandwagon.
What was really sad about this blinkered attitude was encapsulated listening to ex player Talk Sport pundit and professional Scouser Micky Quinn on the radio just defending Suarez,saying he was not obligated to shake Evra's hand and to move on and talk about the match.
So once again on a Sunday morning those of us who love the game and it's history are sitting here and weeping for the way it has once again been dragged into the gutter
