Originally posted by Kit View PostAnyone see the Suarez goal against Mansfield? sure they'll be a lot of headlines tomorrow with him kissing his hand after the goal went in - very cheeky.
The moral high-ground preaching from certain people in the media and fans outside of the club has been sickening. Clearly, the next week will be full of bull**** press about how Suarez alone has destroyed the magic of the FA Cup.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 06-01-2013, 20:13.

Any other player in his position would have done exactly the same thing, take the goal if the referee doesn't notice the handball. I don't think it was deliberate anyway, it wasn't exactly a Maradona style hand of God. The papers and Sky Sports News will probably milk it for a good few days though.

I broadly agree that Suarez was just doing his job, assuming it really was accidental and he proceeded to take the shot anyway. It's the referee's job to spot things like that. It the handball was intentional then it's a different matter. I've not actually seen the incident as I was listening to the game on the radio, but we've criticised other players for intentional usage of a hand in the goalmouth (Henry?).
I think what gives this situation another dimension is that it was against a Conference team who feel they've been cheated out of the money they'd have earned from a replay. That's all speculation of course, there's no guarantee that Mansfield would still have gone on to score an equaliser. But I suspect people would feel less sympathy towards the other team if it was a team like Manchester United or Chelsea.

Am I honestly missing something? The ball ricocheted back at him so quickly that I'm honestly hard pressed to see how the handball could've been anything other than unintentional. It's clearly ball-to-hand.
Also honestly wondering if there would be such nauseating hypocrisy and double standards going around had a Mansfield Town player scored the winner to knock Liverpool out of the Cup in such fashion?Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 07-01-2013, 10:05.
