Liverpool vs Man United: Why Suarez And Evra MUST Shake Hands This Weekend
The recent Hillsbourough findings puts football and personal rivalries into stark perspective.
"It is going to be a very emotional day, we will support them in every way we can. We are supportive of Liverpool."During last Saturday's fixture against Wigan though, a small contingent of United's support were found to be chanting anti-Liverpool remarks regarding Hillsborough. This absolutely cannot happen on Sunday, it is a total disgrace. There are two players who can set the tone and precedent for this match and give the supporters an example to behave by before a ball has been kicked this Sunday, and that is Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra. If each of them shake hands, it will be as symbolic a gesture as any that these two sides can put the past behind them and stand together, not as footballers or fans, but as human beings. [.] Shortly before kick-off this Sunday, captains Steven Gerrard and Nemanja Vidic will release 96 balloons in memory of those killed during the FA Cup semi-final in 1989.
