Please stop making articles on this issue, if you had read the sportsday on the BBC website yesterday it will tell you that a lot of people actually agree that the reaction to Suarez is over the top. We just keep making a big deal out of it move on.

This is like anti WUM repleant!

What does the actions that someone has done in their private life have to do with a block getting away with a handball?

Morals Fellaini. Morals.

As I have said before, using other team's players as an attempt to justify or point score is just petty. Also, of those players you listed, virtually all of them were heavily lambasted at the time of said incidents, so I'm failing to see your point.

It was a refereeing error, intentional handball or accidental really doesn't matter. Sometimes you get lucky, like at the weekend, sometimes you get it the other way, like at Everton. Stop moaning and get on with it.

I'm not moaning about anything other than the selective memory of United fans

When a LFC has wronged someone, I am one of the first to call it.

Don't mean to point score here but in my humble two cents opinion I feel
1. Banging your brothers wife for years

and

2. Going all out to end another professional's career

are two worse offences than anything Suarez has done.

But if you're delving in to the past incidents, it is unfair to only go to one side. I wont get in to that debate though. it isn't selective and past events shouldn't be brought up when discussing what happened. Yes, we've had PR nightmares in the past too, we each call our own out at the time too.

I might be being dense, but I really don't get the point of this article. Football fans in general are hypocrites, it's a side effect of the tribalism. Put yourself in the other team's shoes, they score a winner against you in the same fashion, are you p!ssed off? or do you defend them?

The difference is we'd agree they were wrong to do so

can we all just agree that suarez, how ever gifted he may be, is one horrible little unt of a man?

I don't see any mourning here. Also its even pettier to rush to point out specks in another's eye when you have a log in your own eye. Also United fans cannot be said to have lambasted these guys when majority defended them. You'd be called an ABU for bringing those topics up!!!

This article is about United fans behaviour of "using other team's players (Suarez) as an attempt to point score" so am sure they could take a little advice from you.

I think one of the Cheltenham players, at last nights match, had it about right. He said that the ref was calling the Everton players by nick name, and their players by number.

It just goes to show that this is an issue with officiating, and the bias of PL refs given to PL teams when playing lower league opposition, in cups.

Which one ended a career? On second thoughts I'll make a t-shirt showing my support before I'm informed of any facts.

are you familiar with the meaning of irony?

posted on 8/1/13

Well if you can use examples of others wrong doing as ....lets say an excuse for this behaviour continuing??

Hitler was a pretty nasty bit of work, could I commit murder and then justify it becasue others have done so?

Leave the kids unsupervised....well Kate McCann did it!

They probably could Mamba, unfortunately I can't speak for the entirety of our fan base. A lot of the 'better' United posters abhor Young's diving (which he since appears to have cut out) among other things. At the moment, Suarez is flavour of the month, everything he does is looked at because of what has passed.

A lot of us dislike being tarred with the same brush as those fans that are blind to all but their own team. I know what you're getting at Mamba, but what point does it serve? Bringing up old incidents of little relevance is only going to cause an influx of United fans defending us, and attacking Suarez.

If people take a step back they see it really is a none issue, and all sides perpetually creating articles about it just keeps a topic alive, which in all honesty should be left to die. Mistakes happen, we're all hypocrites.

Well we can't have Hitler going on about morality when talking about Osama can we?

Did you know that Obama had a row with the Dalai Lama during his recent visit to the US.

The headline in all the papers read "Obama-Lama Ding-Dong"

All football fans are hypocrites and have short memories, it is our nature.

I concur but the OP is trying to stop the fans who have come on here giving it large, majority having been United fans, from persisting yet you are having a go at him for basically saying the same thing as you?
