the uruguayan j griff
good for the game
he just wanted a taste of a champions league team
Pffffft, the usual phony outrage.
I love the 'The club HAS to sell him' line.
Why?
Terry, Ferdinand, Cantona, Defoe all pulled some pretty weak ass shit in their time and their clubs all stood by them.
Why should Suarez be any different?
Jeez, speaking of embarrassing the good name of Liverpool FC, have you seen Jamie Carragher defend?
Get over yo'selves.
Alas, forgot to update my post with Ashley Cole shooting a kid with an air rifle at training.
But please don't let me interrupt the public lynching of 'old bitey'.
Anyone got a stream to watch for when the residents of Mt Pius set him alight?
there's a difference between standing by a player when he does something stupid or controversial and standing by a player that does it on a regular basis and seemingly doesn't really gaf about his or the club's image and reputation.
He just wanted to take a chunk out Chelsea's champions league hopes.
On Liverpool's twitter (or one of the many accounts from Liverpool) that Suarez has been given a 10 week ban.
ok so Defoe gets nothing for his chomp in 2006 and Suarez gets 10?
About as even handed as Terry getting four games for racism and Suarez getting 8.
wd to the FA for consistency.
To be fair though there was never a 'fair' punishment in this case.
They obvs looked at the first offence which he got 7 for then upped it for 2nd strike.
I just can't stand the likes of Souness etc coming out crapping on about 'that's not the Liverpool way' etc etc.
Anyone ever watched any football from his era? Biggest set of grubs ever. Glass houses and all that.
FA (and everyone else) needs to look at it for what it was. A dude bit someone. He got suspended.
Move on.
To be perfectly honest Football authorities are pretty blaze about punishing violent offences point blank.
To me 10 weeks is pretty lenient considering the circumstances and the also sideline event is that some of this suspension will be served in the off season makes it a bit of a farce
The biting didn't even follow any type of fight/scuffle event before hand. All that happened was Ivanovic and Suarez tussled for the ball as happens between centr half and striker 1000 times a season. Suarez for some reason then launched into Ivanovic and bit him on the arm. Most natural actions in this case would be a punch headbutt etc but the bite is well out of left field. Considering it is also the second incident of biting from Suarez I am surprised a more sterner sanction wasn't called for.
The last bloke who got a pretty severe sanction for OTT reaction/violence was Cantona for the infamous kungfu kick on a spectator. He got 9 months. I am surprised Suarez didn't get something heftier and rivalling the Cantona ban
some of the wowser flogs in here ffs
i can see you all spitting out your morning earl greys in shock
hilarious histrionics
if he dove in broke ivanovics leg, he would have been given a smaller ban than the 10 he got
apparently, the taboo of biting is greater than actual physical harm
worth more than cantona, lol
He does have a mean set of teeth.
If he had Rooney's baby teeth he'd have only got the 3 games.
