Alan Hansen blasts: Evra handshake snub was 'totally unacceptable'...

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has slammed Luis Suarez for refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand ahead prior to yesterday's game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Speaking on Match of the Day, a disappointed Hansen dismissed the idea that it was Evra who refused the handshake, and laid the blame firmly on Suarez's shoulders. He said:

"The rhetoric leading up to the game from both clubs was understandably to avoid hostility.

"Liverpool made a statement saying there would be a handshake; Suarez was obviously party to the statement; he knew about it, and had obviously agreed it.

"To snub Evra, in my mind, is totally unaccaptable. Liverpool football club have given him total and unequivocal support through thick and thin, and I think he's let Kenny down; he's let the club down, and I think he's let himself down".

  1. Of course he wasn't going to shake his hand, Suarez thinks he has done nothing wrong and has been punished for it. Would anybody who genuinely thinks they are innocent of the crimes brought against them then go and shake the man who accused him by the hand? No. This is to my eyes being blown massively out of proportion by the press and sky. Sky's coverage and the clip of the whole Suarez/Evra saga a minute before kick off was a disgrace and I would say inflamed the situation. As for Ferguson, what a short memory this guy has, maybe he should mind his own business.

  2. I think suarez refused evra handshake (if he refused, because i have my doubts) because he feels that he took the 8 match ban when he shouldn,t and that,s why. Evra is not a gentleman and we know that the nigger story with suarez was the 3rd time and only this time he moved the case to the F.A. Everybody knows why because suarez is a liverpool player, so 2 weights 2 measures. It is not good mr evra so i think our suarez made the good option. If it was me i would do the same. Well done SUAREZ. Now i hope we regroup together for that champions league place and hope that the mancs do not win the league.

  3. Why the uproar about Suarez not shaking Evra’s black (politically correct) hand? The FA of England on behalf of all English people condoned racism by stopping ALL handshakes in the QPR v Chelsea pre-match build-up.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Clearly evra drops his hand - may very well be unintended, but who are you, hansen and the rest to say it can't be misunderstood? Maybe evra did it by purpose, maybe he didn't... Maybe Suarez thought it was an indication that evra didn't want the handshake? Maybe Suarez did not want to shake hands? What do we know about what was said before the match, in the tunnel? Nothing. Who are we to judge. Yes i would have preferred the handshake to take place and all this put to bed. It did not happen that way - but for me to judge on who refused what - jamie, have you never tried the situation where you thought someone where going to shake you hand - and then it wasn't ment for you, or the situation where someone ment to shake you hand but you did not get it ? akward situation, a second of doubt - and you kind of have no time to stop up and find out when you walk past in a prematch handshake, in an intense environment. I belive, had the united players been the ones walking, liverpool players being the ones standing and no handshake - well then everybody would say evra refused. We can't judge. Give it a rest. Leave it. We are gaining nothing but trouble by discussing this endlessly. It is a handshake for christ sake. Why are we even having it, why would the FA scrap the Terry - A. Ferdinand one and not this one ? Because they did not want a member of the england team to get into more of a storm? Why did they want this to go through ? I am sure the FA are delighted it turned out like this - the media all goes crazy about suarez once again - making the FA look righteous in their decision to ban suarez. I respect a lot of the work you have done jamie - but you are getting more and more in the wrong - always looking for the gossip, clutching a straw. No difference anymore between what you write and what i can read in the daily mirror / star or another stupid tabloid. Go back doing what you do best!

  7. Suarez excepted a 8 match ban for the club, Suarez and Kenny believe Saurez has been delt an injustice, dont forget Kennys comments last week, so to think he was ever going to shake the hand of the man at the centre of the affair was wrong, Suarez carried out the ban thinking this was going to be all over he kept his head down, yet it was all plain to see yesterday that the handshake was going to be a big issue (and judging by both Sky and Evra and Fergies well timed statement) this was planned, Evra had no intention of ever shaking Suarez hand yet got angry when Suarez decided to do the same thing.

    Alan Hansen needs to realise Suarez thought of the club excepting a ban when he clearly was ready to fight the ban, yet when he has one chance to say to the world i am inncocent every media organisation destroys him for it.

    If he had tried to shake hands with Evra and Evra refused, would we not be sitting he saying how Evra has stood up for the fight against Racism.

  8. IMHO, Alan is right. Suarez was an egoist. Liverpool come first.

  9. How can Hansen refuse to believe it was Evra that withdrew his hand first,it is there in the video for all to see! You're a PLONKER Hansen!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Evra's behaviour yesterday should earn him a ban. 

    ReplyDelete
  11. You are an idiot Zulu.  Suarez previously used the N word at Evra nearly 10 times & even admitted it saying it was ok for spanish speaking people to use the N word. (Uruguayans speak Spanish in case you didn't realise.)  I like Liverpool.  Suarez & Dalglish are dragging their good name through the gutter.  Your comment is utter garbage & makes no point AT ALL.

    ReplyDelete
  12. The only player we can confirm as a disgrace from the incident is Rio Ferdinand.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hansen is wrong.  Suarez has every right to not shake Evra's hand if he doesnt want to.  If I was accused of something I didnt believe was true or right and was forced to take an 8 match ban for it, I too wouldnt shake that persons hand no matter what the media, pundits or fa want...

    I suppose it could always be worse, we could have had a player that does a flying sidekick at a supporter, elbows another player in the back of the head, or sell a match day publication with KKK masks or KKK T-shirts...

  16. Were you there to hear suarez said it 10 times? or did you hear it from the media? didn't you heard what the PFA chief said, there was no proved that suarez said that but he admit it himself cause that word by no mean is racist unless  someone want to make a victim out of himself or should i said that evra is a damn bloody liar.

  17. If suarez were to go along what man sum or evra is planning then the whole liverpool will look like liverfool you bird brain.

  21. What about what the club wants and needs?

    KK said on thursday that he wants the club to draw a line under it and that Suarez would shake his hands. 

    Gerrard has elbowed in the past. Bellamy has used a golf club violently on a team mate. Some Liverpool fans sing about Munich do they not and do aeroplane gestures. The KKK thing was a mick-take out of Liverpool fans KKK-like stance over the Suarez thing. So puh-leez don't start all this tribal nonsense of how 'we're better and we haven't been as bad as them'. Ineffective childish justification of the Suarez debacle.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Doesn't matter if he doesn't feel like shaking his hand, Suarez has a responsibility to respect and honour the club as well as football itself. What he did was selfish, incredibly selfish. 
    Dalglish said he would shake his hand, Dalglish must feel betrayed by Suarez

    ReplyDelete
  23. For doing the same thing Suarez did? Yet he is the only the play that is a 'disgrace'.

    So Suarez can roll around on the floor, cheat, moan with the best of them, eye gouge, cowardly kick parker, bite opposition player, selflishly puts his own ego ahead of the clubs in relation to handshake, etc, and people still have him up on a pedestal. 

    Are we really that desperate for a hero, post-Rafa era

  24. clutching at straws would be your excuses for Suarez. Keep up the good work, JK. Appreciated here, your realism.

  25. Like outside Anfield, clubs aren't responsible for what is sold outside the stadium. Its the council that give the trading licenses to those stalls.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Don't forget Suarez also blased the ball at the dug out area yesterday too

    Talented player but a very silly and immature one

    ReplyDelete
  27. The point is, it makes no difference whether he said it or not. It makes no difference whether he feels agrieved or not, or even whether his grievance is justified. THis was about a statement from Liverpool that they can be professional and dignified - and Suarez let us down big time!!! Whether or not it is justified (and I personally feel that Evra is a more professional footballer - but thats not the point), Evra was made to look the victim again, and Suarez looked like a brat. Kenny has a major problem on his hands. The club looks embattled, it has not exactly condemned racism very convincingly (it has made not one single gesture of public relations management to condemn racism in football), and now Suarez has helped to enflame the situation. Even if no action comes from it, I hope that LFC suspend Suarez, and maybe we should think about selling him. No player is bigger than the club.
    And besides, ironically the team has recently been more cohesive without him. Carrol, Gerrard and Bellamy were starting to look good. THe primadonna is back, and suddenly our team spirit and confidence goes to sh*t. Makes you think!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Don't be a moron Lepen. Cantona kicked a Man U supporter in the ground. Is that the council's jurisdiction?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Here's what I saw

    Evra's hand drops, perhaps subconsciously, when Suarez approaches, but I'd say Suarez had already decided to blank him

    Evra is streets ahead of Suarez in how to play this scenario, proclaiming his outrage to Sky cameras as Suarez blanked him, timing his celebrations so he could walk off at the same time as Suarez

    Liverpool's problem is that Suarez is a top, top player - a commodity that we are desperately short of - and he will disappear to Spain at first sight of a sign that the club aren't backing him

    Suarez has obviously let Kenny down, Hansen wouldn't say what he said unless Kenny ok'd it

    It's another horrible mess - this should have passed off without incident. Suarez is at fault. Could he be sold in summer? Possibly

    He would suit a Mourinho team..........

  30. Just one thing:

    Evra is a little bitch.

    That is all.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Its not relevant whether he feels agrieved or not. Its diplomacy. Here was an opportunity for a really great piece of positive PR for Liverpool. "We were hard done by, but the priority now is the good spirit of the game. No hard feelings". Thats what it means to be the bigger man, to have the moral upper hand. Didn't we always say that the liverpool way was to deal with business behind closed doors, not to drag our private affairs into the public???? Well, congratulations Suarez!! Your little petulant sulk has made us look like idiots. And KD is looking pretty stupid now.

    And why didn't our captain go over to Suarez and tell him that he has to shake hands with Evra? Where the hell is the ethical, courageous leadership in the team???I have defended Suarez this whole time, not for his racist actions but for taking his punishment like a man. Yesterday I was disgusted, and feel ashamed to be a LFC supporter.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I reckon he could go to Milan. If they find a buyer for Pato, which they tried to (to PSG) as they wanted Tevez to come in.

  33. That is an ex Liverpool player, not just a player but a legend who helped the club win 8 titles and 3 European Cups  - cant understand why you would call him a plonker?

    The whole world apart from some of our own fans see it that Suarez snubbed him - we are becoming the laughing stock of football because of views like yours.  

    ReplyDelete
  34. I did not imply or say that about the Cantona incident. I was clearly talking about the fanzine bit.

    '3phds' ....good one!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Amen to that, I cannot understand why more of our own fanbase do not see it like this.

    There is so much nonsene about analysing handshakes at the moment and everyone has forgotten the ambiguity surrounding Suarez's stance- Why did Suarez not CLEARLY offer a handshake regardless of what Evra did? That way the world would CLEARLY see Evra declined. To me Suarez snubbed him and to argue otherwise is just delusional.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just out of interest how so? Not sure I have seen many articles, pundits, presenters, neutrals mention Rio is disgraceful for snubbing Suarez - it is just the siege mentality section of our own fans.

  38. 1. Who is Hansen - An ex LFC legend (8 titles , 3 European Cups) and respected tv pundit who is payed to comment on footballing matters and someone who's opinions have a lot more weight than any poster on this thread.

    2. FA scrapped the QPR Chelsea handshake as it was a FA Cup tie so they had power to intervene, yesterday was a Prem game so they had no say.

    3. Why is this being discussed endlessley - I am guessing you are referring to this article but in case you have not noticed this has been discussed by the Gordon Taylor of the PFA who has asked the FA to now intervene, culture secretary Jeremy Hunt is due to hold discussions with PM David Cameron so this is clearly a big deal is it not?

    And go to  the LFC site, Suarez has admitted he snubbed Evra and apologised. Duh

  40. "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." Ayre

  41. It is laughable eh? I think a lot of the posters analysing the handshake yesterday are feeling a little bit silly today. But I have faith they will still come up with some media conspiracy to support their arguments

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am fully aware that Suarez's native tongue is spanish, and that Suarez admitted to calling Evra black. In case you didn't realise the translation in Spanish of the word he used means black. I think the point I clearly made in my previous post was that Suarez thinks he is innocent and is for that reason didn't want to shake Evra's hand. Seems everyone else who read it got the message.

Im not even a fan of liverpool im a norwich fan. but i can see that way too much is being made of this matter. if u dont like someone u dont shake hands! so what, get on with game.

  53.  if he dosnt want to shake hands he dosnt have to. simple as. if he dosnt like blacks well thats up to him, he shouldnt abuse anyone though. the fa cant suspend him for not shaking hands. so lets just get back to playing football please.... sh*t happens!!! 

    ReplyDelete
  54. Your are so one eyed & biased I would say TOTALLY DELUDED and typically you are trying to deflect the blame from Auarez to Evra.  Alan Hansen was a great Liverpool F.C player, hard but fair.  If he say's Suarez was wrong I believe him. 

    Zulu to say Sir Alex Ferguson should mind his own business is idiotic.  Evra is his player as Suarez is Dalglish's player.  They put their necks on the line for their players and defend them to the hilt, but this is where a 'trusting' manager can come unstuck as King Kenny has, he was lied to.

    ReplyDelete
  55. blasted the ball away?? o my god shock horror!!!

  56. Read Suarez's comments made in his defence to the F.A Judicial Board red33.  He ADMITTED the use of the word and claimed in his country it was not offensive!

    The POFA is the Professional Footballers Association.  The PFA did not side with either player because they represent both, however they did offer, behind the scenes, advice to both players.

    Idiots like you only inflame situations by your loose lipped stupidity.  How many games  have you ever attended at Anfiels or for that matter anywhere except in the local park.

    You call Evra a "damn bloody liar."  Were you there you stupid twat?  If you were Liverpool had 12 players on the field.  Now Fu*k off you stupid cu*t.

  57. Typical four fingers over the top pleasurer.

    Suarez had indicated to his manager and his club that he WAS GOING TO SHAKE HANDS WITH EVRA.  He lied!!!  End of story!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I am not a Liverpool follower Jasonf904 but I do agree with your comment and would just like to add that King Kenny & Liverpool F.C were lied to by Suarez.  He had said he was going to shake Evra's hand when he bloody well knew he had no intention of doing so.

    That fact that Suarez lied to manager & club clearly exhonerates Dalglish and the management.  It doesn't however exhonerate the idiot faction who 'affiliate' themselves with L.F.C, they are the idiots who don't really give a shit about the players, the club or football in general.  They just want to stir up more strife by big noting themselves.  SMALL PERSON INDEED!!!

  64. Wow Chan.  Great evaluation.  I applaud your pointing out cheat Suarez's nasty streak.  I clearly saw the eye gouging Suarez perpetrated on Parker on television and thought, "Hell what is this game  They do that in Rugby, but not in football", but like most things, people only see what they want to see.  By the way THAT kick by Suarez into Parkers stomach was deliberate. But that is only my opinion based on photographs available, angles, other players eye line (looking at the ball coming in) Suarez was looking at Parker and not at the ball.  So yes Chan I agree with you comments and I'm a Bred Red.

  74. So why did the FA not act in this situation? I always thought that the ruling body for the Barclays Premier League WAS the FA, as the founder members of the FA Premier League resigned from the Football League in 1992. Or is it just a self-governing body? The answer may well be that they did not want any adverse publicity surrounding their (then) England captain, but they don't mind Johnny Foreigner being hung out to dry.

  80. How do you work that out? Ferdinand incredibly went up in my estimation for realising what happened and not letting Suarez off the hook. Your comment makes no sense but is, sadly, representitive of the stupid nonsense coming out from a lot of the team's supporters.

  81. Flying sidekicks are irrelevent here, and only a racist apologist would deflect in this way. The KKK publication is the wider world laughing at us, by the way, but i doubt you can see the point.

  96. I think everyone is missing the point here, here we have the two biggest clubs UK with the rivalry that is matched by none. So why was the hand shake taken out of the game with Terry and Ferdinand and not this one. I believe this has really been blown way out of proportion, the FA must of known that this was going to be more headlines. Suarez feels he was punished for nothing, Evra was upset but does that give him the right to approach Suarez in the tunnel (half time) why can't Evra let it go and just except the fact he does not like you, i put this to you maybe Evra likes the fact that Suarez has a temper and has a bit of fire in his belly and he is playing it. What about the incident after the game when Evra celebrated right next to Suarez, payers still find ways to wined each other up lets not forget that, maybe he and Man U need to apologise for his behaviour.
     Everyone that says that this is damaging for the club is really going overboard, with all the stuff happening in the world this really is quite small. Liverpool and Suarez have apologised to Evra and Man U now can everyone just let it go and as for some of the ex players jumping on the band wagon, stay in the background and comment on the football and leave the PR to the club.The most important thing to remember is that Suarez has been punished for nothing in his eyes and nobody has taken that into consideration, he could have lied no one else heard him or could understand the conversation. Here is my proposal all the press stop writing about this subject, oh yeah that won't sell papers will it.
     Suarez you are an honest man in my book and if you don't like somebody than why do you need to pretend just to keep all the do gooders happy. Here's a headline for everyone "Apology a good start, but Liverpool have plenty more to do" the word Chaos was used seriously this guy is a clown, but this is the press.
