LIVERPOOL FC will not appeal  against Jay Spearing’s red card at  Fulham – as Luis Suarez waits to  hear his fate following his controversial Craven Cottage gesture.

Spearing was contentiously  sent off by referee Kevin Friend 18  minutes towards the end of the 1-0  defeat on Monday after a strong  challenge on Mousa Dembele.

Despite clearly winning the  ball, Friend adjudged the Liverpool FC midfielder to be guilty of serious foul play  after catching the Fulham man on  his follow-through.

Immediately after the game,  Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish suggested the club may  launch an appeal against the dismissal.

But the Anfield outfit have ultimately opted against such an action, with Spearing’s three-match  ban meaning he misses the forthcoming home game against  Queens Park Rangers and away  matches at Aston Villa and Wigan  Athletic.

Meanwhile, the Football Association will decide today whether to slap Suarez with a disrepute charge following his obscene  gesture towards Fulham supporters after the final whistle.

The Uruguayan, who  suffered a barrage of abuse from the home  fans, responded by  raising his middle  finger in their  direction.

A photographer captured the incident, and now the  FA will consider  whether Suarez, who  is already facing a  charge of racist language  towards Patrice Evra, has  a case to answer.

Dalglish was cautious  when quizzed after the game  about the allegations.

“I’ve not seen the picture and I  am not taking anybody’s word  for it,” he said. “But until you have  proved it is true to me, I  won’t comment.”

And Dalglish defended  the striker after he was  subjected to “cheat”  taunts by fans unhappy at the way the  player went to  ground regularly.
