This is pretty much it.No, I think what people were advocating was that it was a great opportunity for him to do that and gain some respect/appreciation for it.
I would never expect a player to do it, if they do fair enough. At 1-0 against Mansfield the worst case scenario was probably a draw and an easy replay. Most likely you would win anyway and get no end of brownie points going into their Cup Final against us next week.
As far as I'm concerned I'm delighted with how it panned out as it can only ever help us on Sunday, both with the refs and with him reverting to "Poor Me" instead of his recent confident mood. I would much rather he spends the entire game diving than skinning our defenders.
There's no way anyone should expect him to own up.
That would be applying a moral code we wouldn't apply to anyone else, on a player we know has none.
Pointless.
However, it was a massive opportunity for him to 'do a Klose' and claw back a little respect and dignity, after a long series of incidents. The back pages could have been filled with Suarez's fairplay gesture. The Liverpool fans would've wanked themselves into a self-righteous frenzy. Instead, he looks worse than ever. Which is funny.
