As reported by the BBC:

Luis Suarez diving: Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers reveals anger

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says Luis Suarez's admission of diving is "unacceptable" and he will be dealt with "internally" by the club.
The 25-year-old striker admitted "falling" to win a penalty when Liverpool faced Stoke in October in an interview with Fox Sports Argentina.
Suarez diving controversies

1 October 2011: Everton's Jack Rodwell is sent off in the Merseyside derby despite appearing to win the ball in a challenge on Suarez (pictured).

7 October 2012: Stoke manager Tony Pulis accuses Suarez of diving in 0-0 draw at Anfield.

8 October 2012: Brendan Rodgers defends Suarez, saying "the vilification of Luis is both wrong and unfair".

28 October 2012: Suarez celebrates his goal in the Merseyside derby with a swallow dive in front of David Moyes, who had accused Suarez of diving when Rodwell was sent off in 2011.

16 January 2013: Suarez admits to "falling" to try to win a penalty against Stoke to Fox Sports Argentina.

17 January 2013: Rodgers says Suarez's admission of diving is "unacceptable" and he will be dealt with "internally".

Rodgers revealed the club would take action against the Uruguayan.
"I think it's wrong. It's unacceptable. I've spoken to Luis and it will be dealt with internally," he said.
"Diving is not something we advocate. Our ethics are correct.
"He has been totally understanding on where I am coming from as manager of the club," Rodgers continued.
"This is a big club and, whatever people do say goes around the world, and what was said was wrong and not acceptable. There is no-one bigger than the club or the club's image."
He added diving was "not something we associate with as a club of this standing".
Suarez's admission was in relation to Liverpool's goalless draw with Stoke, where he was criticised by Potters manager Tony Pulis after the game.
Pulis called for stronger action on diving when asked about Suarez in light of Rodgers' comments.
"They should look at it on a Monday after the games have been played at the weekend, and people who have been caught simulating should be punished.
"I think if you do that - if you give them three, four or five games or whatever - then it will take it out of the game.
"With simulation, I think if a player is found blatantly diving to gain an advantage, whether it is a penalty or conning a referee into giving a decision, they should be dealt with very severely.
"What you would find is that it would soon stop, and that is what we all want, because it is, on a lot of occasions, cheating."
Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce also got involved shortly after the incident against Stoke, saying diving was a cancer that was ruining the sport.
Before Suarez's admission, Rodgers had previously defended the striker over the matter, saying "vilification of Luis is both wrong and unfair".
But on Wednesday, Suarez said: "I was accused of falling inside the box in a match, and it's true I did it that time, because we were drawing against Stoke at home and we needed anything to win it.
"But after that everybody jumped out to talk - the Stoke coach and the Everton coach [David Moyes] - but the name Suarez sells [papers]."
Rodgers is hoping the admission will not affect officials' opinions of Liverpool and hinder their chances of getting future penalties.
Play media

Diving Suarez will be dealt with - Rodgers
The Liverpool boss said: "My main concern is the team. As long as it doesn't affect our chances - we've only had one penalty this year anyway - but as long as it doesn't damage our prospects in the future that is the most important issue.
"Anything that is detrimental towards that is something I don't take too lightly and, if that is something I think affects it, that [chat with Suarez] was a clear message."

Maybe a shrewd move from Suarez admitting he is a cheat, paving his way for a summer exodus from a now mediocre club side.

I'd take him at Spurs in a heartbeat.

He's probably the best forward in the Premier League IMO and one of the best in the world. Yes, Van Persie has more goals but he is also given more chances from a stronger team.

He'll cost quite a bit now though that's for sure.

You're a fucking bore Sateeb.

Hilariously comparing Liverpool's backing of managers to Chelsea.

I'm done on the Football section. Seeya.

Can't quite get my head around this story :?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21079956

After two successive promotions & looking reasonably comfortable in the PL, that's the thanks you get as the manager.
It's not as if they've replaced him with someone of any note. :shock:

I hope they get relegated!! :twisted:

I agree, and I hope wotsizname will enjoy life in the Championship next year.
The only positive aspect of this story is that it detracts attention from the bitching between the Liverpool/Man U fans on this forum... :roll:
They make Spurs and Arsenal fans look like best buddies! :laugh:
This is the way

Please don't stop on the footy thread Baa Baa purely because of a single poster. I enjoy reading what you have to say and I'm sure many others do too.

After a shocking start to the season Southampton had gradually been picking up points and moving away from the relegation zone,including a creditable draw at Chelsea in their last game.
If they wanted rid of Adkins surely the time was when they had just three points from their first seven games,not now ! :shock:
And the guy had won them successive promotions to the Premiership....almost makes Abramovich's sacking of Di Matteo seem justified.
But good news for the likes of QPR,Reading,Villa,Wigan and Newcastle as this decision will more than likely put Southampton right back into the relegation mix.

I rate Walcott, he's definitely improved recently (you forget how young he is) but 100k AND A SIGNING ON FEE is almost as mental the Adkins decision.

I think Adkins has done well, been unlucky on many occasions and plays decent football.

Nah I won't, I'll just whack sky sports news on or glance at the red tops in the newsagent and imagine Sateebs next thoughtful insight.

I was as shocked by Adkins going as I was about RDM! Crazy decision, it didn't help that the new guy said he had been researching the team for a while, so long planned.
