Suarez gets a 10 game ban

no doubt Liverpool will appeal.

"Always the victim......"

 

Well I might be out on my own here but 10 matches?? Really?
You get three matches for deliberately elbowing someone in the head ( if anything at all!). Three match ban for deliberately going over the ball and crippling somebody. Is a bite as violent as other nasties? It may be a bit girly and childish but I don't see how there is comparibility.

P.S. I'm no lover of Liverpool or Suarez.

 

He did bite someone for no reason whatsoever, mate.

 

So did Defoe and he got a yellow card - nothing else. If you see a bite and book him then it's no problem, if you don't see a bite it's a 10-match ban? Where's the consistency in that?

 

I know he did. Should be banned as well. If he'd swung a punch and clocked Ivanovic on the side of the head do you reckon he would have got ten matches? Doubt it.

 

Probably not.

But I think it's the fact that it's like spitting - dirty.

Plus it was unprevoked.

You're right though, there's no consistency whatsoever.

 

Totally agree. A 10 game ban is bonkers, how is it different to any other violent conduct? If anything, it's less dangerous than most violent incidents.

3 game ban + wear a muzzle for 3 games just to humiliate him, would be my verdict.

 

Aye tommyfunny. Chop his hands off as well.

 

And what do you get for fracturing someone's skull.

 

The local radio station fighting your corner.

 

How the fk is it less dangerous, what if you are bitten to the extent that it draws blood and the biter is a carrier of something nasty. Anyway 10 matches would be harsh for a first offender but the guys got form he's already done one ban for biting plus the racism thing.
Anyway Its time somebody clamped down on footballers anyway if we did some of the things that they do on the pitch in our place of work we would in all likelihood be sacked or up in court.
That being said I still preferred the 70's style and rules when you were allowed to get stuck in (fairly)

 

I hope they do appeal and it turns in to a 40 game ban, meaning he misses the whole of next season.

 

I think I agree with you. Not sure, I haven't got my head around it yet.

An adult biting another adult is weird and underhand and freaky and childish and it's just not cricket, but, as you say, it's not nearly as dangerous as some other fouls that are committed.

What would I prefer, a little bite on the arm or someone elbowing me as hard as they can in the face? I think I'll have to go for the bite.

What would I prefer, a little bite on the arm or someone running at me full pelt and diving feet first with their studs in to my shins? Again, I think I'll have to go for the bite.

The lengthy ban is because what Suarez did is bizarre, not because it was dangerous. I guess weird and sly trumps hazardous.

 

I know he's got a set of gnashers on him, but it's not like he's a pit bull terrier or a crocodile, he's not that dangerous

 

morgan elbows hume, intensive care - NO BAN
defoe bites mascherano - NO BAN
wigans Mcmanaman knee high tackle and nearly ends newcastle players career - NO BAN
Suarez bites someone (stupid but not career ending) - 10 games

How ****ed up is the FA clueless bureaucrats.

 

I think Suarez has been given a ban because of his previous misdemeanour's. If he can't learn to behave on the football pitch in front of thousands of fans and provide an example to kids then he deserves banning.

No doubt Liverpool will bring out the 'Support Suarez' t-shirts or something.

 

15 match ban for a Chinese burn.
