Luiz Suarez

In fairness to the pool lads I don't think they tried to defend it at all .. they did quite rightly point out it had turned into a media frenzy .. I wouldn't be a red & I think 10 matches is a bit OTT .. compared to other bans handed down for issues that are treated as serious or even more serious currently

And that is all I am saying also. Is this REALLY as bad as it is being painted? Many will say yes - I disagree. And that's all. I simply disagree it was THAT bad.

In truth I don't really care one way or the other as what I think matters not a jot. I just do not like over-reaction and media-storms over things that in truth are pretty inconsequential in the great scheme of things.

That is actually the funniest thing I have ever heard. It is original, current, witty and punctuated and spelt magnificently, again.

Any other piledrivers of magnificent wit, our Yorkshire Steven Fry?

Probably best to spell Stephen correctly if you're going to mock someone else for their spelling...
 
It is a shame how quickly people become sidetracked and take things to heart. If there is a spelling mistake so be it. If someone has a dig at another member take it on the chin and laugh it off.

Everyone, well almost, has an opinion and that is all it is. Whether Stephen is spelt wrong am I bothered, more interested in the content of the post and the topic being discussed. Gents at times we all need to move on!
 
Well boys more than happy to speak footy on here, whether my team or not.

However, when things like Heysel and Hillsborough get brought into things like this, I think it is better to bow out. I haven't defended Suarez on this one, I think the ban was excessive, but when the lives of 39 people and 96 people are so cheaply and flippantly bandied about, it speaks for itself. These are peoples lives and relatives we are talking about.

I may just leave this one to the trolls, before I get wound up even more. Kellfire seems to have got what I presume he wanted from this thread, a lot of fall out on the forum. I can only see this going this way even further, and I have already contributed towards this.

95% of footy fans in the OOB can seem to discuss things within reason, but the trolls and wind up merchants always win out in the end, but football disasters or any disasters are over the line.

Once bitten, twice shy. ;)

Trolls???? Pick ya Teddy up pal
 
10 games seems about right. i think the fa can be too lenient at times.

i dont agree with the "if the ref deals with it" its over thing. i think each case should be looked at and massive bans for REAL foul play. also the argurment of "so and so only got x amount of games" doesnt cut it for me. if it was me i would say they should have got more now heres you ban!


biting has to be nipped in the bud ;)

Now I'm not a L'pool supporter in any way shape or form, I think Suarez is a loose cannon and I also think that L'pool may be better off without him in the long run, just my opinion, BUT, and that is a big but, Liverbirdie is spot on regarding when Heysel and Hillsborough are brought into this debate.
This is about one player's biting of another player, no more, no less, so please, lets keep to the matter in hand.
He's got a 10 game ban and I hope L'pool don't appeal. They should just take it on the chin, deal with Suarez internally, however they see fit, and try to put this sorry saga behind them.

Slime.

Not sure where this has all come from mate. Liverpool FC themselves brought Hillsborough into the equation by publicly announcing where the fine money was going. Excuse us if some of us think that was a cynical attempt to put a silver lining in the cloud.

It seems to me like Liverpool FC have this invisible immunity from criticism because they suffered Hillsborough.
