Luiz Suarez

[Pin-seeker]

This is sporting incident not a murder enquiry FGS. Nobody has died and nobody is seriously injured. People seem to want him nailed to suit their own
Should opposition defenders have to worry about getting too close to him incase he sinks his teeth in??? I think it says a lot about people that don't think it's a real issue after some one bites a opposition player for the second time in his career

I think you miss his point, Suarez biting was a retaliation to the manhandling. Still not right but it's a reason.

But there wasn't any "manhandling! LS had his left arm/hand on Ivans shoulder and made no effort to remove it, they were simply jostling for position, no issues what-so-ever with either of them doing that, its a physical game, or at least it should be to an extent. But to then bite him is simply a moment of madness and the lad obviously has serious mental issues if he can react in ANY circumstances like that not once, but has history of it prior!

Personally, I also think that a bite is worse than a head-butt. Courts see head-butts as a very serious act and treat the using of the head in any assault no different to using a weapon", a bite is seen as a worse offence as it has far graver consequences, it is deemed as ABH and as such, a criminal offence. I expect to be kicked on the football pitch, I don't expect to be bitten!

The ref in all of this is hugely at fault, he has taken no notice TWICE when Ivan has clearly mimicked the actions of LS that he had bitten him and should have walked.

I think we should take a leaf from Rugby League and have a different colour card and put players "on report" to be judged by a panel later in the week but prior to any future matches if the ref believes something serious has happened but didn't see it. This I think will remove all the sly, intentional and blatant cheating that is growing in the game and when suitable fines and bans are put in place after any reported offence has been judged, managers will soon be more on the players backs to have them cut it out, or get rid.

When you have the history of Liverpool thrown at you at every opportunity but accept what they have achieved in the past, players both skilful and hard but always fair decorated for decades and still seen around the club presently, it is a sad indictment that such a player like LS is part of that establishment displaying such a disgraceful act on the pitch wearing that shirt.

They should offload ASAP and maybe, there year will be next year, again

In all this I notice little mention of the amount of added time - I thought it was only United that got that....

Ah Premiership football. Played by morons who are managed by simpletons, all watched by a mixture of armchair experts, Stone Island clad imbeciles, gullible dullards and the terminally hard of learning.

The Premiership product perfectly encapsulates what is wrong with modern Britain. I used to love British football and now I don't care if I never see another match in my life. Most of it is very poor fare anyway with a poor standard of technical ability.

As for Suarez, what he has done is no worse than the spitting, swearing, wrestling, diving and conniving that the rest of the morally bankrupt proles in the Premier League do every week.

And I reckon the whole thing is rigged to a certain extent too. More WWF then anything else.

I think they beat united's usual 96th minute offerings although that was the same official time added yesterday but I'm sure LS scored in the 97th!

It must be "red thing"

basically if the ref would have sent him off that would of been the end of the matter 3 game automatic ban and a struggler to add much else on. As there was no action penalty is much easier to impose i reckon the FA will go 6/7 and further censure.
Liverpool must be looking to offload if someone will give them the money they paid Ajax back?

The ref didn't see the incident because it was off the ball, by a distance!

Not read all the threads so apologies if this has been said.

I think many miss the point of Suarez's actions, the big defender was obstructing him from playing the ball and pushing him out of the way.
This now seems to be common in football and many minutes are wasted by referees sorting these defenders out, seldom penalising them..
The ref should have awarded Suarez a penalty/foul before he started biting him.

Doon, we're talking about the Liverpool v Chelsea game at the weekend. The one where Suarez turned into the defender, who blocked the ball, and, after seeing the ball travel a few yards away, whilst holding onto the Chelsea defender as the two of them jostled, grabbed the player's arm, looked for a nice juicy piece and BIT HIM.
What match were you watching?

The referee cannot act upon the say so of a player regarding an incident he didn't see.
If Suarez had been red carded on the back of Ivanovic's complaint we'd be heading down a very dangerous road indeed.

Slime.

I think some teeth indentations in his arm would have been evidence enough, wouldn't it?

 

[Slime]

Liverpool managing director, Ian Ayre, has stated the following regarding Luis Suarez:
"As we keep saying, he signed a new four-year contract last summer and we'd all love to see him here throughout that contract.
He's a fantastic player, top scorer and everything we'd want in a striker, so there's no change there".

I find that almost as astonishing as the bite!

But if the ref didn't see it, he can't give it, no matter how damning the evidence.

In fairness in football terms (which I think he means) he is everything you would want , he may be a bit of a nutter but he is a class player
