Luis Suarez: I'm Sorry

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has today issued the following apology:

"I have spoken with the Manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong.

"I've not only let him down, but also the Club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened.

"I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I want to apologise for my actions.

"I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football."

/Move on.

Now he just appears properly daft.

Good he apologised. Hope people realise they were wrong to defend him now (this won't happen)

He said sorry for the handshake, not the whole racist affair.

Makes Liverpool fans who thought Evra was the one who didn't shake his hands stupid
Wish this would go away now.

Oh, I thought Evra refused to shake his hand.....

Well done Suarez, an ounce of respect restored.

What are the Liverpool fans claiming Evra refused the handshake going to say now.

good move by his agent

Probably, however he gets so much stick, although much of it is deserved, so when he does something decent we should show appreciation for it.

He didn't really have a choice tbh, he was tarnishing Liverpool FC's reputation because of this.

Liverpool Managing Director Ian Ayre has today released the following statement.

"We are extremely disappointed Luis Suarez did not shake hands with Patrice Evra before yesterday's game. The player had told us beforehand that he would, but then chose not to do so.

"He was wrong to mislead us and wrong not to offer his hand to Patrice Evra. He has not only let himself down, but also Kenny Dalglish, his teammates and the Club. It has been made absolutely clear to Luis Suarez that his behaviour was not acceptable.

"Luis Suarez has now apologised for his actions which was the right thing to do. However, all of us have a duty to behave in a responsible manner and we hope that he now understands what is expected of anyone representing Liverpool Football Club."

Fair play.

Suarez

Good, and don't anyone dare say all liverpool fans thought Evra was the one who refused.

I think this puts to bed the notion that Evra refused the handshake and not Suarez

Shouldn't have had to apologise.

I admire your optimism.

Maybe the Yanks finally got involved

Suarez

Truly an angel.

STILL standing by Suarez when he and Liverpool FC have literally just admitted that he was wrong?

Suarez

I agree with Dan here. Ian Ayre can fuck off. I'm not happy at all. Not happy at all.

Fucking ridiculous.

I thought Evra dropped his hand as Suarez was approaching..

Still, no apology for being a racist

Handshakes should be removed, total waste of time, you should chose after the game who you want to shake hands with

So he was right to tell Dalglish and the club that he would shake Evra's hand and then go and not to do it?

Whether it was a forced apology or not, would you rather see your own club in a position where they were seen to be supporting what Suarez has done? This may not have been best for Suarez, but it was best for the club.
