Whataboutery- uggh! what a cringey word

I don't mind using it when it's applicable.

Whataboutery is bringing up points of comparison that aren't relevant, not just bringing up any points of comparison.

Its not even the meaning i'm on about - its the sound and make up of the word itself, just one of those things. on the other hand, sneachta is a great sounding word

Changing his pic to Uruguay fans? Pretty clear he's his way so.

Reminds me of Morientes having the Spain shirt on the FIFA 2005 cover ahead of his move to Anfield.

A second great article on TAW about the whole cluster****:
http://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2014/06/why-should-liverpool-sell-luis-suarez/

Looking past the ban, though, I don’t care about rival fans kicking up a fuss about Suarez. If anything I’d be disappointed if they didn’t. He’s one of the best players in the world and he doesn’t play for them. I’m only surprised they haven’t broken into his locker and sprinkled cocaine all over his shoes.

i personally think that this will harden Suarez's resolve to get out.

The early comments had already suggested that this was a vendetta by the english media.
Too many people whispering in his ear absolving him of his crimes will make him look for others to blame.
What better place to start but the nasty british press. He will use that as an excuse to move

The worst thing now would be to sell him at a discount.

When you see the reaction of the Uruguayan media and FA in protesting his innocence and claiming conspiracy you can understand why Suarez feels hard done by
The player isn't the only one deluded.

I blame your man Wibbs, he's the first one I saw using it on boards. :pac:

It's not so much the word itself but the volume of it's use. It seems like the first line of defence for those too lazy to make a proper reply. As I said in the other thread, it's the new "strawman".

Again, nothing wrong with the word as it can be apt in certain arguments, just the lazy abuse of it that irks.

As Fescue said, what happens when he comes back and is targeted by defenders, and he will be, looking for the 'fame' of taking Suarez out?

This last season, he was targeted by heavy tackles in nearly every game but didn't retaliate except by scoring goals.

I am starting to think with the length of the ban and stopping him even training with the club it may not be worth the risk any more.

I love the guy but the odds have dramatically shifted against him staying trouble free in even the short term not to mind the medium term.

So last year defenders tried to take him out and only succeeded in being embarrassed by him. Why on earth do you think that will suddenly work this time? Defenders only focused on "breaking him up" are obviously not focused and easy to score against, not to mention liable to concede lots of free kicks in dangerous areas or get sent off.

Rumours are the Uruguayan FA are appealing the ban, and are taking it to special arbitration.

Jaysus, Hefferboi. You don't wait much time in the morning.

Do Uruguayans believe that Suarez is somehow innocent in all of this? Because whatever about the ban being harsh, innocent he most certainly is not.

'Luis we are with you', seems a little much for a someone who lost his temper and flipped out in the more bizarre manner yet again.

Lambert is a good back up signing.

Not good enough to fill Suarez boots though.

Need Sanchez or Shaqiri to be stepping in there.

It's seems that Uruguayan fans are the second worst fans in the world.

After Liverpool fans of course.

Oh no, not more t-shirts!

First of all he scores two goals against England to engineer a move away from Liverpool!

Then he bites Chiellini in a further effort to get a move!

What's next, he scores 50 goals in the league next season??

The depths that Suarez will go to in an effort to get away from Liverpool are disgraceful!

No one here is going to disagree with you that the actions of Suarez have no place on the field of play and to do it for the 3rd time shows a mental deficency that exists with the player and also calls for increased punishment.

I do have some confusion as to the disciplinary process that exists within football however.

Grayditch

Jaysus, Uruguayans are even worse than Liverpool fans, if that's at all possible.

Being both myself, I can only imagine how bad I am.

Let me clear it up for you. It's run by FIFA and anything can happen. :rolleyes:

888 Poker have terminated all connections with Luis Suarez with immediate effect.

The fallout from ban has begun.

I thought companies didn't care about these sort of things?

Makes sense I guess. He's a footballer who doesn't play football.

They don't, it's just good publicity for them to do so. Once he's back playing, more will come on board.

It'd be like Liverpool being 'moral' and selling him so that 'immoral' Barcelona can buy him.
