King Kenny blasts FA over bias judgements

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has accused the Football Association of
having double standards after Luis
Suarez was charged with making an obscene gesture to fans following
the 1-0 defeat at Fulham on Monday.


Dalglish has been angry at the treatment of his Suarez all season, going
back to Patrice Evra's accusation of racism against the Uruguay
international.


The manager feels that the FA's appeal against the severity of Wayne
Rooney's ban at Euro 2012 does not set the right example. The Manchester
United striker's UEFA suspension was reduced to two matches, at the
same time as Dalglish was addressing the media at a press conference.


Dalglish believes the FA should look at their own actions before
tackling other issues. "I find it a bit strange the FA are supposed to
be setting an example for things yet they appeal against Wayne Rooney's
three-match ban,'' he said. "I don't think that's a good example to
set.''


Dalglish labelled the way the FA have dragged their heels over Suarez's
racism charge as a "joke'' - despite both clubs being told not to speak
about the incident until a decision is made.


"The fact it has taken nine weeks to get a decision on one of the other
charges is a bit of a joke as well,'' added Dalglish. "I don't think
that has helped as well. The circus which is around about him has been
caused mainly by that.


"That will be done sooner rather than later and we will move forward.''
