Kenny Dalglish believes it is time Luis Suarez was afforded some protection after describing chants of 'cheat' during Liverpool's defeat at Fulham as 'scandalous'.
Uruguay international Suarez has seen his reputation come under attack this season amid accusations that the striker is a diver.
During Monday night's 1-0 loss at Craven Cottage, Suarez saw a goal disallowed for offside and he also had a couple of penalty shouts.
Fulham fans felt Suarez went down too easily at times and made their anger known, while the former Ajax ace was pictured appearing to respond to the taunts with a one-fingered gesture.
Asked for his thoughts of the 'cheat' taunts directed at Suarez, Dalglish said: "Scandalous.
"I would like to see you write that in the paper because you would be in a bit of trouble as well. You write what you want to write.
"At the end of the day, we will look after Luis the best we can and I think it is about time he got a wee bit of protection from some people.
"His integrity is impeccable. He can look in the mirror and go to bed at night and sleep soundly. If other people can do that then fine. All we ask is to be fair, is to be honest."
