mrmojorisin75 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm not relaxed about headbutts? They're an automatic 3 match ban, it's hardly a slap on the wrist. so the point was made about peppe earlier, on his 3rd headbutt in the game or whatever and gets a 1 game ban...total bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get that for an innocuous foul in one game and taking your shirt off in the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter, at least in the Premiership. I hate bans personally, I think they ruin the sport for the most part but anything regarding violent conduct should be treat seriously. EDIT: When I say I hate bans I mean for things such as picking up 5 yellow cards etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Headbutts and elbows aren't a part of the game, hence why you receive bans and fines for them. Suarez should have received a longer ban. The 4 month ban should only commence once Liverpool have kicked off their first game of the season. Suarez lost total control and should be forced into anger management and possible psychiatric treatment if needed. I think it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: When I say I hate bans I mean for things such as picking up 5 yellow cards etc. I suppose it is a difference in opinion and I understand your point of view. I also watch alot of AFL here in Australia and the suspensions are judged upon the intent, the area of impact (head, throat, body etc.) and severity of impact. I suppose any violent conduct involving an attack of a persons head does deserve to be treated more seriously. I have no sympathy for Suarez though, he got what he deserves.

Suarez lost total control and should be forced into anger management and possible psychiatric treatment if needed. I think it is. You receive bans and fines for heavy tackles too. It's a contact sport, you expect people to be elbowed when challenging for the ball, you expect headbutts when things get heated, and these things predictably happen all of the time. People don't run and forearm smash opponents like Ben Thatcher did all of the time like, or nut with the ferocity of Zinedine Zidane, or bite people. These things are unique in the sport.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 with a headbutt or an elbow you'd rarely be in control enough to know the type of damage you're going to inflict as well, the face is a very fragile area of the body if hit in the right/wrong way...to say he hardly touched him or whatever just doesn't cut it for me, treat them all very harshly, biting harsher than everything else if you like but the game is way too light on headbutts and elbows if they're dishing out punishments like this for biting tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's a bit naive though. Headbutts are often just people locking horns or tapping each other on the forehead. Elbows are often innocuous or part of a player trying to keep their balance. There's nothing innocuous, accidental or anything else where biting is concerned. Elbows and headbutts really are part of the game because of how often there's the possibility of it happening and the sometimes unclear nature of whether it was deliberate. Biting is different.

Trumpet Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 How do people think Spitting/deliberate punching ranks against Biting ? I can't decide which one is worse. Obligatory team of the group stage: IMO --------------------Ochoa-------------------- F.Johnson-----Sakho----Marquez-----Pooladi ----------Matuidi-----Borges----------------- -----Robben-----James----------Neymar---- -------------------Messi----------------------- Special mention to Kaylor Navas, Gustavo, Vazquez, Alexis, Muller, Cuadrado, Benzema, Mikel, Zusci, and Slimani.
