I really don't get the guy, this is the third time he's done it. He has had a fantastic season and wc so far, where did this come out of?

he's either a complete arsehole, or he's actually in need of some psychiatric help. which i doubt he will get as long as he continues to be a goalscoring machine.
 
Football is such a collection of wankers that we're not even mentioning the fact that the victim grabbed his face and rolled around on the ground ina ludicrous manner, because we're now light years away from that kind of common-garden idiocy.

We're now in a world of Toure's birthday cakes and repeat biters. Odd.

So is kicking someone in the face, headbutting, stamping on someone, punching them. If we started applying criminal law to team sports rugby would have to stop over night :)

There have been criminal convictions in rugby before. Perhaps football should introduce something similar to the citing panel that they have too.

In general he seemed to keep it in check last season, but do you remember the (I think) City game while Liverpool were behind? He looked like he was going to do something weird any second. That something could have been anything from spitting in someone's face to a fight to a bite to I don't know what. Even with all the work the club must have done with him, including our highly rated sports psychologist guy, I think it was lucky he didn't do one of his specials at any point.

If you look at the incident in real it seems like nowhere. He's gone for him intentionally though, there's no doubt:hmm:

Imagine a Premiership play-off game and a leg-break tackle robs a team of their best player etc etc.... It's be fucking mental...

at what point does an on-field action become a legal matter? if deliberately breaking someone's leg isn't a legal matter, at what point will you agree that the law should be brought in.

but this isn't about tackles.. its about biting someone. that's illegal. tackling in legal, bad tackles need sanctions in the sport. what about biting?

crime or sporting issue?

Do you have evidence of an occasion of a player 'deliberately breaking someones leg'? Is a leg break tackle de facto deliberate?

Bad tackles, whether deliberate or mistimed have caused more physical damage than the likes of Suarez ever have.
 
I think he'll at least be banned for the rest of the tournament otherwise FIFA will look even more ridiculous than they do already. Totti was banned for 3 games for gobbing at a player in the 2004 Euros, this is much worse.

and that doesn't make them right. but how would you prove a leg breaking tackle in sport was assault in a court.. you couldn't. but you could prove a bite was. just because the injury is less does that lessen the criminal intent?

Isn't that the point? It is a minefield and once the law comes in then rules will change, competitions could be stopped/suspended. Results overturned if a game was won as a result of a criminal act?
 
Fedayn said:
Be difficult to say that isn't. That's the point, it'd be a nightmare. If a player is killed/paralysed after a tackle, is that a legal matter even if it's not deliberate? Is what Suarez did in any way similar?

alright mate, if you're not going to even bother engaging with the questions, i'm leaving this conversation. gnight.
 
Fifa Wonk said:
The disciplinary committee of world football's governing is responsible for "sanctioning serious infringements which have escaped the match officials' attention".

Any suspension could range from "up to three matches or up to two months".

So fuck all then really? What's two months? He needs a big, red ban hammer dropped on his head.

Uruguay Coach said:
"I'd like to see the images first before making any comment. If it happened, then the referee probably didn't see it," said Tabarez.

"Despite mistakes Suarez has made, he is the target of certain media, a certain press."

Oh boo-fucking-hoo. He's the target of 'certain press' because he's a violent, racist, cheating cunt.
 
Yeah. The rules should change. I agree with you about tackles. That would be s minefield.. But biting someone? Why isn't there a precedence for things like that being criminal in nature?

Rightly or wrongly, never going to go anywhere near criminal charges.

Does anyone know how what FIFA's jurisdiction is? He'll get a sizeable ban, definitely out of this world cup and probably a fair portion of the next FIFA sanctioned tournament (presumably the Copa America?), but can a ban be transferred over to either UEFA or FA/Premier League comps? Is there such a thing as a "worldwide ban from football"?

From memory, I *think* that's what Adrian Mutu got for sticking half of Columbia up his nose.
 
I expect some Liverpool players will defend him. And doubtless some fans - every club has em. But I can't imagine for a second that Rodgers will. I'll be mighty disappointed if he does tbh.
 
Amazing season with Liverpool, winning awards golore, patching up his reputation and being Uruguay's star man and then he gos and bites someone again..
 
I didn't realise he had form for this, apparently (forgive my ignorance) this is the third time, hence the quote "three bites and you're out" ..
