I can just imagine Dalglish barging into the studio that runs the Liverpool website, pushing his way to the keyboard and typing some very angry words...
Evra accuses Suarez of racist remarks | Suarez guilty of racial abuse

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.
Exactly what I've been thinking. Kenny Dalglish jumping straight onto his PC and Tweeting is fecking bizarre as well.
The comments are priceless.
Saviour that moment, I wish I could go back and re-read it for the first time. I don't think I laughed hard enough to really justify it
I do wonder whether Dalglish is (distastefully) trying to create a bit of a seige mentality at Liverpool much like Ferguson tries to do when United are in the press for whatever reason.
Indeed.
So it's Sir Alex Ferguson's fault now that their own player has been found guilty of racism? Who's next? Refs?
In some quarters (and RAWK is living breathing evidence of this), LFCs actions have set the anti racism movement back 30 years

One of the comments:
Fergie's name has been mentioned a few times by Liverpool fans with relation to this from what I see. My only question is... why? Completely and utterly ridiculous.
Edit: Plan_M mentioned it first..
Damn, I thought I'd hit pay dirt here... unless he's still filling in as a freelance...

Our fixture v Liverpool at Old Trafford is going to be even more heated than usual this season.
Alvin Martin sounds furious - "Luis Suarez has not been proven guilty" - Erm he has Mr Martin.
I told you... they are obsessed.
I've known this for many years. I'm sure for a lot of Dippers that their hatred for Man Utd and Sir Alex is stronger than their love for their own club.
this was my initial feeling on hearing the verdict. I can only think the relatively lenient sentence was due to mitigation/interpretation of the use of the word. Still, puzzling.
More reaction to that statement... looking forward to the British press getting their teeth into it:
Luis Suarez And The Stupidly Rancid State Of Football
Liverpool's reaction to Luis Suarez's ban is staggeringly disgusting and needs to be called as such.

Of all of the people to tease out the age old question of the difference between being found guilty anD being proven guilty I would suggest Alvin Martin isn't the person to disarm that particular semantic landmine.
Can't wait for it, I'm gonna do my best to get to that game.
I'm just surprised Kenneth Dalglish has a Twitter account.
If I was a dipper and if Suarez was still playing for my club, I would seriously question if I could still support my club or not.
I wouldn't start blaming crucifying everyone against us.

That'e because you're of a sound mental capacity
Almost as surprising as the fact he allowed his mum to choose his username.
I'd say whatever fecking genius wrote and released that statement is behind the kenny on Twitter masterplan. Unreal.
I feel sad that the Government has let down the scousers so much over the past decades.
They deserve the right to an education like everybody else...
They should get the opportunity to call their teacher Sir....

It really is staggering how huge the difference of opinions is between the two sets of fans. All common sense = out the window!
Even the Guardian wanted to mention Evra's case against Chelsea, where the FA amazingly decided the evidence in Evra's case against Chelsea was "exaggerated and unreliable", but don't mention that Evra never claimed to have heard any racist words in that case. Does anyone know what was supposed to be "exaggerated and unreliable" about that case? Wasn't it Phelan who heard the racist comment? Was that supposed to be "exaggerated and unreliable"?
This is all brought up before they mention that Suarez ADMITTED TO SAYING A RACIST WORD.
And now we'll see character assassination by Liverpool, which is probably worse than the abuse Evra received from Suarez.
Liverpool should be punished for their statement. And quite frankly, 8 games isn't enough imho.

A lot of Liverpool fans are saying the same.....Suarez has not been proven guilty.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but in this case everyone neutral seems to agree with us? There is no support in the media for Liverpool's position.

He hasn't been found guilty of racism, they worded it differently. He has been found guilty of using abuse with reference to the person's background, or some such fudging.
No, you won't.
Essentially he's been found guilty of using racist language. FWIW I don't think he is a racist and have said so before the guilty verdict. Though I may just call him one for kicks and I don't really have much fondness for him or his club at the moment.
I know. I mean before the verdict as well. As soon as Evra made these claims, it was only ever United vs Liverpool.
I would guess that pretending to say the word 'mate' whilst knowing full well it actually meant. I.e.; he was trying to wind Evra up by using racial connotations.
This is different from Terry who if found guilty will get 6 months for saying what he did.
That's the only thing I can think of. Disgusting to do it over something like this, Dalglish should be trying to defuse the situation, instead he's making it much worse.
Evra is the victim, and now he'll need security to walk the streets of Liverpool.
Is that Liverpool statement really an official one?
It certainly looks like their shade of crayon.
Yes.
Aye, and it was almost instant. I hesitate to use the word prepared, but you know what I mean.
I've just read the Liverpool statement.
I can't believe they're still trying to take pot shots at Evra, and they're using the Sepp Blatter defence by trying to associate him with black friends/players etc.
What on earth were they thinking? I'm almost embarrassed for them!
