Suarez - banned for 4 months (page 74)

Re: Suarez

Suarez's action was a lot less serious than many we see many times a season. We get stampings, head butts, elbows in the face, shocking two footed tackles, punches thrown in fights etc and these things attract a level of punishment which is far less than many seem to want for Suarez's nursery school type bite.

Even a dive to try to get a penalty is much more serious an offence in my opinion.

I think you're making a judgement on how serious the incident is by the potential consequences. You're right - all these incidents could lead to broken legs etc - far worse injuries than having a nibble on someone's shoulder. The problem is that a deliberate bite is equated with the behaviour of an animal or a petulent child - it's repulsive and in Saurez case he's done it three times when unprovoked. I think for this reason it's judged differently than an incident which (as you say) could actually do more harm

I'd imagine he could potentially pass on some kind of infection too. Dirty bastard

Re: Suarez

I have just had a nosey at the LFC official website "latest news section". The four lead stories are;

Mickeys friendly against Preston at Deepdale now a sell out.

Yaya and Kolo knocked out in late penalty drama.

Stevie Overrated saying England have some hard work on the road ahead.

Something about tickets for their cup scheme.


Surely by now their press office must have come up with some sort of response ?

Amazing isn't it, not even a mention of the incident. Not even as an allegation.

Just out of interest, what sort of thing do we think would be on City's website if it had been one of our players?

Re: Suarez

Storm in a teacup. Little nibble on another player's shoulder and all of a sudden it's the end of football as we know it. Has anyone mentioned that he's a 'role model' yet?

Also know of a guy who was close to a prison sentence (ended up £1000 fine + community service, IE Max possible before custody) for bitting an opponent during a local 5 a side football tournament brawl, if he'd broken the opponents leg, even if this was premeditated, I doubt that it would have ended up in court as it's a possible consequence of playing the Sport.

Similar to spitting which doesn't result in career threatening injuries but is universally regarded as utterly repulsive. Besides, biting in sport can leave a permanent legacy as Evander Holyfield will testify.

Let's leave it to the Mickeys on RAWK to defend the indefensible and dumb down the actions of the racist cannibalistic ****.

I don't find the bites repulsive. They are pathetic and silly from a grown man, but they have done no damage, a bit like one toddler biting another.

I find a dive for a penalty repulsive. It is cheating pure and simple.

Suarez's bites are probably no more deliberate than many a head butt or stamp.

If Suarez stopped biting and started stamping and head butting like some other players would we stop getting these ridiculous calls for a two year ban?

Not sure, but I thought Saurez had history with Chiellinni

Apparently he has a good singing voice and has been approached to front the newly reformed It Bites on the bands comeback world tour

So going down too easily in the box is worse than potentially infecting another player with a blood borne virus such as hepatitis or HIV/Aids?
What a fucking odd world you inhabit.
