LRD Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The fact he's done it 3 times suggests that he's got serious mental issues if he does that instinctively. He should probably see a therapist Suarez visits a therapist to cure his teething problems. http://i.imgur.com/L29X7Ie.jpg?1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't know how Liverpool, Suarez or Uruguay have the audacity to complain about anything. "I'm really mad with the bans I get when I bite people, they're disproportionate/too long/too far reaching" Stop fucking doing it then! "He wasn't playing for Liverpool at the time, why should they be punished?" Pistorious wasn't competing for South Africa when he shot his lass either, it doesn't mean they have to let him out so it doesn't unfairly impact on their medal hopes. Maybe if Liverpool had disciplined him internally for past indiscretions rather than throwing him a t-shirt party when he racially abused someone and blaming the media and the FA for his ban length last time he bit someone he might have been more inclined to learn his lesson? Blame your player for doing something stupid enough in a global competition to get a world ban from football. "But I'd rather be bitten in the shoulder than stamped on/elbowed/have my legs broken. This incident here shows it's disproportionate" I imagine many people would rather be spat on than take a yellow card challenge. I imagine most people would rather someone pissed on their chest while denying the holocaust than have their leg broken with a clumsy foot in. Funnily enough there's no precedent for what punishment you get when you sink your teeth into the third walking lunch of your career in the middle of a World Cup game. Thanks to Suarez we now know the answer. "It's just because of who he is!" To an extent, yes. It might have been viewed slightly more sympathetically if it was a moment of out-of-character madness, but it's perfectly within character. Followed by no contrite apology and pleas for forgiveness, but two fingers up at the game, "These things happen, the other player is a disgrace for making a meal of it, it's nothing." Or do the media and FIFA pick on Suarez because they don't like his haircut, or his star sign? This is the media that awarded him Football Writer's Player Of The Season like three weeks ago, aye? Maybe if there's a conspiracy against Suarez and Liverpool by those running the game he should stop doing stupid shit that makes it extremely easy for them to unfairly persecute him?

The College Dropout Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 As bad as it sounds, kicking, headbutting and elbows are a part of the game. The biting is perverse and disgusting. Had he just leant his head into Chiellini or swung an elbow he might've got away with it or at worst pick up a 1 game ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain physical contact is an escalation of the normal rough and tumble of a sport. what about something like stamping on players then lads, is that built into the sport? the initial point was that biting, elbows, eye-gouging or anything of it's kind are not things that happen during play (with the exception of a jumping elbow which will always be controversial) so why single out one of them? treat them all harshly it all goes away, or we could just let peppe keep headbutting people and so on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 As bad as it sounds, kicking, headbutting and elbows are a part of the game. The biting is perverse and disgusting. Had he just leant his head into Chiellini or swung an elbow he might've got away with it or at worst pick up a 1 game ban. what a load of shite I understand what he's saying. Bad tackles, elbows and head contact are illegal over-extentions of the normal contact within the game. Not that they aren't serious, but there's a gradient line going from a clean tackle, a free kick tackle, a card tackle, a red card tackle and an absolutely horrific tackle. The latter is not in any way acceptable, but it's a football foul, a kind of misconduct you may see on the football pitch. Imagine a hockey game where someone suddenly decides to launch a sliding tackle at someone running through on goal. That's going to get them one hell of a ban, isn't it? Even if it's not as bad as someone swinging a hockey stick and smacking you in the legs. And if you tripped someone up on the football pitch with a stick, you'd get a hell of a ban even if you did less damage than a robust tackle. Likewisef you go in two footed on your opponent during the Olympic table tennis semi-final. Smashing the ball at your opponents face might be seen as a minor infraction however, while if you picked up a ball you found on the pitch and stotted it off an opponent's head you'd probably get a ban, even though most people would take balls to the face all day rather than a reckless challenge.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 what about eye-gouging in rugby, how do they view that, as part of the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 what about eye-gouging in rugby, how do they view that, as part of the game? As an illegal offense that shouldn't happen, but does happen in rugby because you grapple with your opponent and there's the possibility of going too far in that respect. Considered serious in rugby, probably considered much more serious in cricket. There's clear rules for punishments for eye-gouging in the code of rugby, so even though it's an illegal act it's part of the sport in that respect.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Players will get elbowed going in for a challenge, players will wind each other up and stick a head in, they'll kick out in frustration. It happens and they'll be banned accordingly. If they go overboard they'll be banned for longer, ie Ben Thatcher. Biting people is a different matter altogether.

Biting people is a different matter altogether. amazed at how relaxed people are about headbutts like, suppose they're rarely the same as the type of headbutt you'd get down the biggmarket like but still....being "wound up" is literally no excuse and imo they should be treated as harshly as biting...same for a standing elbow where say 2 players are jostling together and one decides to elbow the other off the ball, ban the fuck out of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
