Much like a heated debate between a Mancunian and Scouse family, but not quite as romantic as the Montagues and Capulets, the mother hen has got involved, Peggy Mitchell style, and it’s not the first time one has stepped in for a Liverpool player and defended their perfect, pretty boy son. Obviously seeing what such a brilliant reception Carol Konchesky got for her defence of her son Paul, labelling Liverpool “scouse scum” and slamming their team as “sh*t” in some kind of attack to defend method more suitable to a Harry Redknapp team, Sandra Suarez has chosen to, in the wake of her son’s 8-match ban, speak out and suitably add some accelerant to an already raging fire of controversy, fine lines and F.A double-standards.
Where CK – and that’s Carol Konchesky, not Calvin Klein, although both are responsible for talking pants – decided to leap to the defence of her son in the immediate aftermath of a performance unworthy of the Liverpool shirt, Mrs. Suarez has waited 82 days to label her son, “no racist,” displaying the kind of urgency Liverpool attacks have shown this season. She may, however, have been tactically delaying her outpouring of amazingly fluent and colloquial emotion for a non-English speaker, “The FA went to town by banning him for eight matches,” until the New Year in an early bid for Football Mum of the Year 2012.
Last year’s winner Kimberley Bentley, the mother of David’s children, seems to have inspired Mrs. Suarez’s early attempt at securing the title while January is still upon us, with her January 2011 Twitter-mediated entry of, “Sort it out Harry for f*** sake!” which sparked Redknapp to allow the bench-warming Bentley to leave on loan, joining Birmingham City until the end of the season, where he won Mr. “Flattered to Deceive” from The Birmingham Mail’s Colin Tattum, just six days after Kimberley’s eloquent demand.
Mrs. Bentley herself, drew inspiration from a fellow Spurs player’s family member: in 2010, the award of Football Mum of the Year went to Orfilia Palacios, who, whilst over from Honduras in October 2010, demanded that Harry Redknapp played her son against Everton so she could see him play; and so he did, before leaving for Stoke City at the end of the season.
Redknapp paid tribute to Mrs. Palacios, “She was quite a big girl so I [had] to play him. I wasn’t going to mess with her, believe you me!” not knowing that he would go on to be a pushover once more in 2011, to someone considerably smaller, and I imagine more attractive, than Mrs. Palacios.
However, it seems that the burning ring of emotion that Luis Suarez set alight on the fateful day of October 15th, which Kenny Dalglish has stood by and tried to manage carefully by the means of a routine prod with a long stick to the heart of the fire, whilst claiming that, in Suarez’s words, he “never, ever used “negro” in a derogatory way,” just won’t go out.
When are we going to stop talking about this. It’s somewhat boring reading about dis over&ova again.. He used d ‘N’ word,accepted, He apologisd,then they say it wasn’t deep enough. How easy do u think it is to come out& say ‘Evra i’m sorry’ when Evra was d one who forcd words out of his mouth. My advise for Luis is that he shld start acting like a Matured man though i know he’s still young instead of gettin involvd in War of words he shld start controllin his Emotions.
I just hope d recent ‘Adeyemi’ saga is not what i’m thinking,if it’s true,then Shame on those responsible for such behaviour& Shame on their surpporters as well.
Publicity is the oxygen and fuel that racists need to keep the fire burning. Ironically, Sepp Blatters much reviled remedy some months ago was actually one of the few things he got right during his extended Presidency of FIFA.
As an ‘old school’ man my mother taught us the simple rhyme “Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you” In so saying she always wanted her children to keep their heads up and ignore those of lesser minds. I understand in these days it’s not wholly true but to come back to Mr Blatter. – As a footballer is the same not true. During a match angry and unacceptable words may be exchanged which were not really meant to be strictly interpreted. Wouldn’t it be better to do as he suggested – Shake hands after the match and retract the silly impulsive comments exchanged during the game. This current nasty environment is in danger of getting out of control and the only ones who will be happy are the thugs on the periphery with a political agenda.
From my standpoint I would much prefer to be called names than have a broken leg or eye socket which could endanger my professional career. We must move steadily to eradicate the racists and put out their fire.
Well said , all I need say
