RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2011/2012)

Why would I be on a wind-up. Do either look like they are demonstratively reach out to each other? Both are being half arsed, both looking away. Does Suarez not clearly extend his hand?

There was a hand there to be grapped for either party, neither made much effort. Line was moving, it looks to me like they mis-read each other and Evra took umbrage.

I don't really care that much either way, but I really don't see what is so outrageous about this given what the pictures show. The images are pretty clear: That is an extended hand, can't have been very difficult for Evra to grab it if he really wanted. I imagine it couldn't have been too difficult for Suarez to reach for Evra's either. They were both halfarsed about it.


cant believe this is even being debated. ridiculous. why the feck cant you lot just man up and be fecking honest about things? you see it exactly how you want to see it. meanwhile the rest of the world saw it as it actually happened. you know like......in reality.
 
But why would he be annoyed if he didn't want to shake Suarez' hand?

Surely if he wasn't fussed about the shaking of hands, he wouldn't have reacted the way he did. Evra's hand wasn't down by his side, it was up enough for Suarez to shake it.

Suarez moved his hand straight past Evra and towards David De Gea.

Why can't Liverpool fans accept their star striker is a piece of shit?

Evra: "I'll shake his hand, but damn it I am will not show that it is a reluctant one." [looks away to signal displeasure].

Suarez: "I'll shake his hands but I sure as hell won't be making much of it." [also looks away to signal displeasure]

result: Two half-arsed hands extended do not meet.

Suarez: "Guess he didn't want to shake after all. Keep moving."

Evra: "wtf! he didn't shake." [grabs arm].
 
If Evra really did pull out of a handshake, why didnt Suarez make such a big effort to shake his hand like he did whne Rio blanked him?? He ghosted past Evra and made no eye contact.
 
By all means.

Fwiw, I am not that invested in this. Even if what actually happened is what I just proposed I don't think it merits mention in the public sphere unless there is unequivocal video evidence showing what happened really. I am quite happy for all the rucus to die.

Well it's not going to die because Suarez and Evra did not shake hands. You can dispute who refused but it would be over if they had shaken hands. However with regards to who refused, it was Suarez and the fact that Liverpool fans (and the club itself if Sky are to be believed) are seemingly trying to say Evra was the first to refuse, this saga is most definitely going to continue even more. The sad thing is 'Pool fans don't seem to realise that when they don't get Champions League football again at the end of this season, Suarez will most definitely be on a plane to the continent. He's not going to stick around and by then you will (not necessarily you but the delusionals on RAWK) all realise how foolish you have acted during this whole affair.
 
Have you not watched it and literally just basing your opinion off of three misleading stills? Because of the camera angle you have chosen, it suggests Suarez extends his hand to Evra but if you look at the angle that is opposite Evra, it shows Suarez with his hand extended towards DDG, with Suarez not even acknowledging Evra's presence, let alone attempting to shake his hand.

Yep, that angle is after Suarez has already went past Evra and is extending his hand to DDG.
 
The video Hectic posted is evidence enough.
 
Evra: "I'll shake his hand, but damn it I am will not show that it is a reluctant one." [looks away to signal displeasure].

Suarez: "I'll shake his hands but I sure as hell won't be making much of it." [also looks away to signal displeasure]

result: Two half-arsed hands extended do not meet.

Suarez: "Guess he didn't want to shake after all. Keep moving."

Evra: "wtf! he didn't shake." [grabs arm].

Nice scene Shakespeare.

You missed out : exeunt little buck toothed rodent, stage left

You forgot the following...

Suarez: *continues to ignore Evra*

Evra: *goes to Suarez in the tunnel at half time to quiz Suarez about lack of handshake*

watch the video.

Suarez has made this worse and dragged LFC further through the mud.
 
Did you make it? Could you re-do it with the seconds before that? Because I think this shows that Evra certainly wasn't enthusiatic about his extension:

Look. He's not really going to be enthusiastic about shaking his hand now is he.

If you'd like him to jump up and down with glee at the thought of shaking the cnut's hand its not going to happen.

He clearly offered him a hand. Suarez chose not to shake it.
 
from both, both incredibly halfarsed. If either had actually wanted the handshake, they could have made it.

No, they couldn't, as we saw when Evra grabbed Suarez's arm to stop him from walking past only for Suarez to shrug him off. (FFS)
 
Did you make it? Could you re-do it with the seconds before that? Because I think this shows that Evra certainly wasn't enthusiatic about his extension:

So while Evra wasnt happy to, but he clearly behaved as a gentleman: he extended his hand. Something the racist pig failed to do. Because after Suarez act, noone can deny he is one.
 
Is Patrice Evra vehemently and wholeheartedly required to fully extend his hand to the racist little prick? The hand was there, full extension or otherwise, and Suarez left it.

End of fecking story.
 
Evra wasn't exactly bursting and full of joy at shaking Suarez' hand, and who can blame him? But looking at the video, he made a move and brought his hand up while clearly looking at Suarez.

Suarez didn't look near Evra, and didn't make any type of movement towards Evra to shake his hand.

For anybody to argue otherwise, well they're quite clearly deluded.
 
Look. He's not really going to be enthusiastic about shaking his hand now is he.

If you'd like him to jump up and down with glee at the thought of shaking the cnut's hand its not going to happen.

I am not saying that at all. And fwiw, if it was just a misunderstanding, Suarez should have just turned around and said 'alright' and sure a proper handshake was made when Evra grabbed his arm. But while I don't think either were enthusiastic, I don't think either were deliberately dodging each other either.
 
This has become the Magic Bullet thread.

Stop talking bollocks B19.
 
Exactly.

Evra had every right to put his hand behind his back when the man who racially abused him walked past.

He didn't though, he reluctantly offered his hand for Suarez to take. Which he didn't, because he's a scumbag who thinks Evra shouldn't have reported being racially abused.
 
Stop being ridiculous B19, for god's sake.
