If anyone but Luis Suarez.....

Had put that shot in would it have counted? I don't want to get into whether you think Suarez is a C U nest Tuesday but I would like an honest opinion. It took the linesman 6 seconds to flag offside. Everyone who has looked at it agrees it was a good goal including David Moyes and Phil (Diver) Neville.

I don't know, but I loved his celebration in front of David Moyes after the first goal, and so - to his credit - did David Moyes.

however Suarez is the worst player, at least in terms of sportsmanship, in the Premier League. I don't have a problem at all with him getting no help from the referees this year.

The really frustrating thing about him is that he doesn't need to be such a catastrophically poor sport. He clearly has world-class talent, it's such a shame that he is such a blatant diver.

...once players like Luis Suarez and Gaeth Bale get bad reputations, referees are much likey to give decisions in their favour.
