Question of the Day: Do you bet on sports?
Suarez and Evra Thread.
- Thread starter hawker
- Start date
Kinda hard to do now that so many LFC forumites have him on ignore.
It's just you, and there's no point if you're just going to read all my posts anyway.
Pathetic.
Actually, I have you on ignore as well. So maybe you should check you facts before you post.
Then it applies to you too. What's the point of using ignore and checking all the posts anyway? That's idiotic.
You are vain enough to assume I check all the posts you write. Please man.
At least this is distracting him from trolling the LFC thread
Firstly, I don't troll. Secondly, no point commenting on such an inadequate team. No fun at all. They can hardly win with Suarez in the team, can't imagine what will happen when he starts his ban.
It's so nice in there now!
Which part would you disagree with?
Must be awesome given this season's results hey..

Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Football Association made "the right decision" in banning Luis Suarez for eight games after he racially abused Patrice Evra.
Forward Suarez was also handed a £40,000 fine after he used "insulting words in reference to Manchester United defender Evra's colour".
Liverpool criticised the FA's verdict in a strongly worded statement.
But United boss Ferguson said: "We're satisfied they [the FA's independent commission] made the right decision."
Liverpool claimed Evra should also face charges after he admitted insulting Suarez during the altercation at Anfield in October.
Ferguson, speaking about Suarez's for the first time, added: "Our support of Patrice was obvious right from the word go and that's still the same.
"This wasn't about Manchester United and Liverpool. It was nothing to do with that. This was an individual situation where one person was racially abused."
The Scot also referred to the way United reacted when Evra received a four-match suspension in 2008.
That punishment was meted out after the Frenchman became embroiled in a post-match altercation with a Chelsea groundsman after United won a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.
"Patrice got that suspension for the incident down at Chelsea when no one was there, just a groundsman and our fitness coach," said Ferguson.
"He got a four-match ban and we had to wait two weeks for the evidence to come through. We were quite astounded at that. A four-match ban?
"We thought it was well over the top for a trivial incident. But it happened and there's nothing you can do about it, you know."
Liverpool are waiting for the commission to deliver its full written findings before deciding whether to appeal.
That is not expected until after Christmas but, once it does arrive the club will have 14 days to consider their response, otherwise the suspension will begin at the end of that fortnight.

That **** on Collymore's list is intense. Funnily enough, I didn't know c**n was used in England, thought it was a South African word.
Just a quick headcount, how many people have me on ignore on this subforum? There has to be ONE Le Arse supporter at least.

Confusing statement, they say Suarez is a lying scum bag but not really racist and thats not really what they banned him for.
