Tomorrow sees our much anticipated visit to Old Trafford and most of the pre match publicity and debate has centred on Luis Suarez and his actions during the reverse fixture at Anfield earlier this season. Whether you believe Suarez to be guilty or not (and there are certainly many who put forward a strong case for why they believe him to be not) the fact is he was convicted and banned. This fact has been at the forefront of the pre game 'banter' coming from almost every Man Utd fan and despite how much we don't like it or how much we disagree with it it still remains that people in power chose to use the evidence to punish the Uruguayan and this will lead to abuse from all opposition fans, not just those of our biggest rivals.
'Disgusting', 'sub-human', 'should be banned for life', 'shouldn't be allowed to earn a living in this country' and 'they can't let people like him be role models for kids' are just some of the things I've heard Man Utd fans say about Suarez this week and I for one am glad to see a sense of morality return to the community in this day and age, it's about time decent people stood up to the less desirable elements of society. So a message to all Manchester United fans for tomorrow - give the racist hell, give him exactly what he deserves and let him know such despicable behaviour WILL NOT BE TOLERATED on parks, football pitches, streets and in our stadiums. And while you're at it give a big cheer to your centre back who served a ban for not going to his drugs test. And to your longest serving player who had a near decade long affair with his brother's wife. And to your star striker who paid prostitutes for sex while his wife was at home pregnant. Yes, give the South american racist all he deserves and show the rest of us how strong your morals really are.
