Anfield boss refuses to see how the club's t-shirt defence of the Uruguayan could have offended people after the player received an eight-game ban for using racist language
The Reds' squad warmed up in t-shirts bearing the Uruguayan's image at Wigan on Wednesday to show support for their top scorer, who had been found guilty of racially insulting Manchester United defender Patrice Evra a day previously.
The FA ruling was met with a strongly worded statement from Liverpool that vehemently defended the striker, with some critical of the club's actions.
"The statement couldn't have caused anyone any trouble," Dalglish told reporters.
"I don't think the players have caused any trouble with the FA either by their statement or support by their T-shirts. If we are not in any trouble we will leave it at that before we do get in any trouble.
"[Suarez has] been quite emotional and very grateful, I don't think it is ever a disappointment when the people you work for give you their undivided support and I think that is the least he deserves."
Liverpool are yet to receive a written version of Suarez's judgement, which will include the evidence used to reach the decision, and once they have the document, the club will have 14 days to lodge an appeal.
Dalglish continued: "Most of the people have had their say, we've had our say but we will wait for the judgement and take it from there, but it won't be tomorrow [Saturday].
"The club have issued the statement, the players have issued their statement visually and verbally, but we have to wait for the written report because no-one knows [what it contains].
"At this moment in time I don't think the club are permitted to go into any further detail than they have done."
