From a distance, the images of Suarez on their t-shirts almost look like giant red Swastikas.
It is ironic they have chosen a picture with that pose on. Or perhaps it's some kind of statement.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Yes please.
Imagine how Glen Johnson must feel, having to wear a t-shirt of someone found guilty of racism.
The bizarre thing is, not a single person on the planet has accused Liverpool of not supporting their player. Noone. Yet they keep coming out with these increasingly weird ways to show they do support him, and then stressing the point that they do. It's fecking hilarious.
"For anybody that doubted the support there is for Luis Suarez from the club, they are under no illusions now."
See, what the feck does that mean? Noone has been under any illusions. From day one people have argued the opposite and said the undoubted support was potentially premature. What kind of weird and irrelevant point are they trying to make here? Something very strange is happening here, a part of me feels like we've floated into the brain of Paul Gascoigne.

It's like the only thing they're concerned about is the possibility of Suarez leaving England as a result of this. Everything else, including the wider issue of racism, is taking a back seat for Liverpool in all this.
I think they're barking up the wrong tree in thinking that them standing by Suarez here will earn some loyalty owed from the player - players like him are used to spending their whole lives having people fight their corners for them and bowing down to them, so Liverpool's stance won't be anything new to Suarez.
I really am delighted with how the whole thing has played out now. Proper entertainment - Christmas football at it's best ever.
It does not matter that he went on to butcher the population of Stoke. The important thing is we stood by our player, and he knows that, even on death row.
It's sad really that liverpool have tried to make this an 'us against them' episode. I was willing to believe that suarez had simply tried to wind up Evra but now the racists at liverpool have made that increasingly difficult to believe. Shame.
I'm sure the prospect of Andy Carroll leading the line for 8 games has caused Liverpool brains to explode leading to this odd display of weirdness.
I hope all this 'support' and 'standing by our player' shit will earn them, and especially Suarez more troubles than they current face. Would be funny to see his ban get multipled due to the 'support' he got from his pathetic club.
No Carroll to be fair (as if that's not going to make it worse).
I think Daglish has gone crazy and thinks he is in a movie. Believing he is the young star coach, he must battle his way up from the deepest depths - self induced of course - against all odds and win, with his star player who undergoes a transformation from zero to hero. He's probably floating around Anfield now, wide eyed and mumbling incoherently about victory and facing the enemy. Eventually he will have to be put down.
To be fair, Alan Hansen's staying right on message by deflecting attention away from Suarez with his own ye olden mumblings.
Martyr for the cause. He's the real victim in all this you know.
I bet they wish it was Carroll who'd racially abused Evra.
Then they wouldn't have had to defend him.

Dixon was pricless, I swear I heard him wince.
Im sure someone else has mentioned this earlier in the thread but the one thing that I don't like about this verdict is that it was based on one mans word against another mans word.
It's not, it's about interpretation of what Suarez admitted to saying.
But hasn't he admitted it? Hence all this guff about it being culturally acceptable to be massive racist in Uraguay. If not, I doubt they'd have given an 8 match ban without evidence from a third party of some sort, since it's open to appeal and everything...
It was the 'coloureds' wot dunnit.
I was of the understanding that he didn't admit to it at all. I may have missed some news some where if thats the case In here it says he denied the allegations BBC Sport - Luis Suarez set to appeal eight-match FA race ban
That's not really the case, for a few reasons:
1. Suarez admitted that he said something to Evra which could possibly be deemed racially insulting.
2. The independent panel would never 'convict' someone simply on another's word.
3. The evidence reviewed by the panel hasn't been published yet. Until it is, no-one can positively state that they know the essential facts as to why Suarez was banned & fined.
Terrible defending by Hansen.
Again I may have missed something but from all i have read its been a case of eras word against suarez' word.
He denied the allegations of racism, not using the word in question. He said he used the word, but in a friendly way, like a team mate.
When will it happen?
What did Hansen say?
Something along the lines of having made progress, and there were lots of coloureds playing now and that some coloureds are very good players.
Oh ffs!
nigger, please!
I think he even mentioned that some of these coloured people are actually getting paid for doing their work - my, the world has changed indeed.
It was utterly cringeworthy (see Lee Dixon) my old mum used 'coloureds' as a polite term for black people back in the 60s, by about 1972 she'd worked out it wasn't really the thing to say based on talking black people.
Aye, it's a good 15 years since I've had to bollock my old man for it as he looked on confusedly.
Talking black people are the problem, if you ask me.
They talk now? What is the world coming to.
