Of late, I have been reading articles by so called ‘neutral’ sport journalists vilifying Luis Suarez and what they perceive as his tendency to go down too easily. Over the weekend, Suarez was subjected to ‘boos’ from the away supporters every time he touched the ball. We all know the racism charge he is facing as well as the charge for showing the Fulham fans the middle finger. Has Suarez become the most hated player in the premier league?
I believe he is certainly in the top five, and I do not think it is fair. Luis Suarez does go down a lot, but no more than any other player in the world. There is no right for him to be singled out. Personally, as a former defender who moulded my game on the aggressive tackling of Psycho, Vinnie Jones, Tony Adam, Graham Souness etc, I am annoyed and disgusted when is see players spending more time crawling on the floor that a toddler. It is not good for the game. The old term ‘sportsmanship’ is replaced by the term ‘gamesmanship’ (Gamesmanship- adjective. The intent to try and deceive the referee. A nice way of saying trying to cheat)
Does Luis Suarez use ‘gamesmanship’ – yes. Do I like it- no. Do I approve- Definitely! If every other player in the world is trying to con the referee, then why not we? I watched the Clasico between Real and Barca. Sergio Ramos tapped Alexis Sanchez on the heel, only for the Chilean to throw himself to the floor and roll around like he was demonstrating the stop-drop-roll technique to put out burning clothes. It was embarrassing. But more upsetting for me was the penalty Tottenham won on Sunday. Modric did not go down easily. He dived. The defender pulled his foot away before contact was made and he dived as if competing with Seb Larson from two weeks ago in distance and style. Yet not much condemnation about it. Not even Cristiano “I am on my back more times that a worker in the Amsterdam Red light district” Ronaldo received as much criticism as our Luis Suarez. Didier Drogba is another.

Most of this stems from the fact that the people who do the boo-ing are , deep down,envious of the fact that Luis DOES NOT PLAY FOR THEM! If he did it would be different no doubt. We have to get used to jealous idiots!
just look at most of man u team including ferdinand and evra nani but non r in the paper every week,fergie says about suarez and the man u papers and sky united sit up and listen then make his life hell.lucky we got the fa to jump to his aid and stop a player getting singled out ha ha lol.
to be fair he goes down far far to often. and yes he is one of the best players in the league and that combination of facts is why he is hated so much. every single football fan who is not following blindly will find suarez the most frustrating player in the prem one minute he skips past 6 players and scores the next he is falling over and whinging like a little baby to the ref. if he consistently played well without the comedy diving people would respect him a lot more. even the referees have had enough of him and do not give a foul when it is one because he has cryed wolf far to often
Let the kangaroo court begin! Can’t someone please peek behind the curtain of the great and mighty (FA)? They just might find everyone’s favorite red-nosed Scotsman! Is it even possible to find a punter willing to take action on Suarez being found guilty? What would those odds have to be 1:1000?
I dnt believe suarez fall on d ground so easily
if u hate suarez u go to hell.
The more I read about this the more apparent it becomes that Evra is a racist. It was in the Ref’s match notes, unlike Evra’s complaint which was filed when his Daddy bought him to the Ref’s office post-match.
