Black Sheep of English Football

Players make mistakes, they apologize for it. They pay for it and then spend some time rebuilding their reputation and soon afterwards all is forgotten about the bad deeds they have done.

Now it seems that if a player does anything wrong that can damage his career the Barclays Premier league would be the worst place for any player to do so. Football being the biggest sport in the UK, fans are married to their teams till death do them par one would say. Now when a player makes a mistake that would cost his team to lose an important game or makes a remark, fans seem to be very unforgiving.

However these players soon apologizes and recognizes there mistakes and then spend some time rebuilding their careers and some time after all is forgotten. David Beckham was able to do so after his red card in the 1998 FIFA world cup against Argentina. He soon after apologized and then worked to rebuild his career.

However Luis Suarez made racial remarks to Patrice Evra during a Fixture between Man U and Liverpool. This an act that seemed to damage his already brittle reputation. To make things worst is when the two teams met each other later in the season Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand. THis seemed to be the final straw for Suarez as every fan in football history cannot stand the sight of the Liverpool player and that his actions truly has cost his reputation. The thing is he refuses to take responsibility for his actions and he refuses to apologize to Evra.

Suarez who is not really liked by fans for constantly diving and crying wolf never had a real strong reputation to start with. He is an arrogant, cocky player that tends to spend more time on the floor appealing for fouls then he seems to play the game, this is a real shame because the player does have skills and is very talented. But his actions take the light away from that.

Fans and players alike do not seem to have much time for the Player and his actions might have also damaged the Liverpool name. New Reds Boss Brendan Rodgers believes that he can rebuild his reputation just like the former United star did in his career. read more http://Suarez-aimed-racist-abuse

 The thing is he is not Beckham and his case is not the same as Beckham's and if he does not change his attitude and admits he was wrong he will never be able to step out of that dark spot and rebuild his name and he will forever be the player that everyone shunts when he touches the ball

As Football fans how do you feel about this

  1. I still can't forgive the guy! First was that 2010 World Cup hand ball incident and then racism, which he isn't even apologising for, all the diving and play acting. I really don't like the guy. Yeah you're right, Suarez is not Beckham because they're on different skill levels.

  2. He seems to be a player who wants to be in the bad spot light. He has done some unforgivable things and those constantly dives and acting he does is damaging the sport as youngsters will start doing it. He needs to apologize to Evra, and to comment to you last sentence he is not Beckham and never will be

  3. Definitely a player I despise. A Good Footballer but he complains too much. Is on the floor way to much and seems that it's only Liverpool fans that can like him, I understand why because he does score them goals because they cannot rely on the over rated Andy Carroll. But even though he scored goals and Liverpool loves him for that, If he didn't score goals I think Liverpool Fans would have wanted him put to the curb along time ago. He definitely not my kind of player
