Has Suarez done it again?

[Birchy]

But there was no provocation at the time, they weren't competing for the ball, it wasn't following a tackle, nothing, which is why the ref couldn't see it, the play was elsewhere, he just bit him, so I don't accept any of what you say regarding 'lashing out', as that is a reactionary offence!

He's a wrong 'un, pure & simple.

This is my take as well. He even had a look to line up a juicy spot on Chiellini

Just like when you line up a putt and it goes straight in the middle. Never anywhere else :rofl:

He (Cheiallini) didn't manufacture the situation, there is nobody else to blame in this fiasco other than Suarez, end of!

I didn't say he manufactured anything.

Think you'll find that Chiallini said after the game that FIFA would do nothing. Now he seems to be saying they've done too much

Yep agree. seems he's flipped 180 - maybe he was using reverse psychology!

Professional Footballers aren't known for being very clever though.

That must be it.

So did he want Suarez punished or not??

My hunch is that he wanted him sent off in the game.... as for the rest, I doubt he's bothered. If someone bit me during a sunday league game I couldn't give 2 hoots if the guy got banned for life or was playing the following sunday.

It was after the game that he said it.

Chiellini:

"no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez".

"Now inside me there's no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch and that's done. There only remains the anger and the disappointment about the match.

"At the moment my only thought is for Luis and his family, because they will face a very difficult period."




think that pretty much sums his point up - all he cared about was winning the football match.

We just have no idea what was going on in his head - what turmoil or muddled thinking or confusion. My guess is that he actually didn't have much idea of what was going on or control over what he did. What he did do not really seem to me to be the actions of as you put it 'a wrong 'un, pure & simple' I think his head is screwed and that from time-to-time it shortcircuits - et voila!

One bite , well ok anyone can lose control , if you look at the 1st bite he did in holland , it just unreal , then last year he did it again and now this , 4 months is not enough of a ban , on top of the biting there is also the other stuff he does to gain an edge , guy is not all there and needs treatment , if he were a dog he be put down simple ...........................EYF

Oh come on, a sweet innocent Italian defender? Would that be the same Italian defenders who are renowned as experts in 'the dark art of defending'? The same as the ones that caused Zidane to go a bit mental in the world cup final and head but them?

Totally agree that it was not a direct reaction to a tackle, but I can bet you a pound to a penny that there would have been a lot going on between them before the incident in the way of words, sly digs and all the rest of the tricks they employ. Not saying it was a reason to do it, but saying there was no provocation I think is a bit naive.

I'd like to a confirmed lodger in the " no provocation " camp. If Suarez bit him for things that he had done earlier it would be even more premeditated and, for me, warranted an even longer ban!

On that basis he should be excluded from all games until he is certified safe so as to protect other players falling foul of his gnashers then!

I hope this link works, because its the best one yet

Why? You can be riled up for a long time and then just snap. I really am struggling to see the difference between a bite and a potential career ending tackle when it comes to premeditation. Both are more than likely the result of the red mist descending, it's just a different way of lashing out. You can't say one just happens and so that is not as bad as the other as that must be a deliberate planned act.

 

[garyinderry]

he was refusing to even admit to the bite!! the lads a liar and a wrong'un. sad! he doesn't deserve your pity SILH!


if he came out and said, "yes I flipped out yet again, I am so sorry, I cant help it, I need help" then I would show him a smidge of pity.

I can't believe all the people in the press etc coming out to defend him! It wasn't the first time he's done this. I can't believe players don't have clauses in their contracts that if they are banned for a long periods of time for certain offences they aren't paid. I read an article that delved into his youth where he allegedly assaulted a ref at 16 years of age. He is not going to change.

I've read that maybe the ref assault didn't really happen. I'm not saying it didn't,but you have to take press reports with a pinch of salt.

I've not seen or heard of anybody (except Uruguay fa/players) that is trying to defend Suarez. His actions were indefensible.
