Luiz Suarez

I think it would have been better to offer it to a charity of Ivanovic's choice, but there you go.

The fact is he has been fined, which I don't think will make any difference, although at least the fines have gone outside the club, and to a worthy cause. I think 4-6 matches ban is about right.

I won't defend what he has done, but I will defend against the hysterical reaction to it.

Sums it up nicely I reckon .. :thup:
 
LB - what luis has shown is that he learnt nothing from his 7 match ban for the same offence. what makes it more disgusting was that the actual incident was innocuous. granted the two players were having a go at each other all game. this happens all the time, its football. one has to conclude that he had it in his mind that he was going to chew him, the next chance he got. there wasnt even anything sly about it. he just chomped then hung on. disgusting!

its just a pity ivanovic didnt put his left hand fist across luis' mouth as he was grinding down on him. that it what he deserved!
 
A load of over-hyped, over-the-top hysterical reaction if you ask me. Acting like a little kid losing his head - and let's be clear - Suarez didn't actually bite Ivanovich - there were abnsouitely no marks on his skin according to Mersdeyside police - never mind broken skin. Grab huis shirt in his teeth and shook it a bit - bit like what you dog does. In moments of lunacy/madness, intent is debatable - did Suarez intend to bite Ivanovic - I strongly suspect not. Those of you without kids will never have a child grab your arm and pretend to sink his teeth into it as he is angry with you. They usually don't actually bite you - but biting is a human instinct reaction.

It looked - well stupid is what it looked. Did it look nasty - like nasty in a deliberate leg-breaking tackle or cheekbone breaking elbow? IMO no it didn't. So let's step back from the pantomime that surrounds Suarez - this is really 'boo hiss he's behind you' pantomime villain stuff. It is not the end of civilisation as we know it. What he needs is for his mum to give him a good skelp over the ear and tell him to grow up and stop embarrasing himself. 3 match ban for serious ungentlemanly conduct.

I know, I could not believe what I was reading I let somebody else comment first just in case it was just me but obviously not. This has to be amongst the daftest posts I have ever read on here:rofl:

Really? - to an extent I was playing devil's advocate becuase what he did was not really nasty or visciouds - it was frankly more stupid, pathetic and rather funny than anything else. IMO it is the unusual nature of this that has sparked off the 'shock horror' rather than what hurt (if indeed any actual hurt) was inflicted - I understand that that Ivanovic did not suffer any hurt as such. So tell me what is the REALLy big deal about this. If Suarez had bitten the guys nose off or an ear lobe - of course yes - physical assault. I'm really not interested in what Suarez MIGHT have done - but what Suarez ACTUALLY did is silly and ungentlemanly rather than anything else. Ivanovic probably just thought - 'what a p***k' and he'd be right.

Again mate, I'm not defending what he has done, but some of the hysteria over this is equally stupid.

Hillsborough is not a "card" - it is a 24 year open wound, and for you to just dismiss it as that, says more about you.

I'd like to see you raise that subject so flippantly to someones face, rather than from behind a safe keyboard.

Steady On there !!! Of course it isnt a card and I didnt dismiss it as such. But be honest. Suarez has quite probably donated the sq root of nothing to the Hillsborough fund personally. Liverpool FC have diverted Suarez's fine to this fund in an attempt to soften attitudes and not be such massive losers in the PR battle that Suarez brings to the table. Personally if I were a relative I'd be rather irked.

I'm more than happy to stand by that view, face to face or otherwise and there is nothing flippant about it.

Biting someone is not nasty? Glad your not a lawmaker:confused:
Glad you found it funny your probably the only one
Silly and ungentlemany is one way of putting it. Vile and disgraceful would be how I would describe it
 
As a lifelong LFC supporter, I wish it was ten times longer, he is pulling the reputation of the rest of the players down. This is Carraghers last season and that fact is being totally dragged through the bushes (for want of other words). This should be Carraghers year for the right reasons, not Suarez's for the wrong ones.
