Luis Suarez

[BlueLion. 21,491]

To honest I don't get this kind of argument. If you think what he did offended Children, then kids should not be allowed to watch football.

So Suarez should be banned from football because parents with kids have a lot of explaining to do?

That's not what he means and you know it isn't.

I'm a football coach and last night at an under 8s training session, I had dozens of kids laughing and joking saying they were going to bite someone. It only takes one bad tackle or push and that bite becomes a reality in the heat of the situation.

And you're saying a bite isn't assault?

Third BITE doesn't mean FIFA should threat him like a criminal and take out his WC credentials. No one is questioning the punishment here, just the kind of punishment.

why not? if he was to stay in brazil with uruguay team, he would provoke a reaction from the fans, the opposition etc during matches and looking at how he acted like a massive twat on the touchline 4 years ago vs Ghana (after getting sent off) , FIFA are spot on to send him packing

Exactly, what I was going to say. So many kids look to him, and he bites people, they are going to do the same. And what if he or them, God forbids, bite an artery, and do something to the other player. He is a magestic footballer, wacked in the head tho.

Also as for Leonardo after his elbow he visited Ramos in hospital and was crying when he apologized. Suarez's action wasn't as severe but has shown absolutely no remorse and in fact believes there is a conspiracy against him. All the more reason to punish him if he doesn't see his faults.

Henrique's posts do get more bites than a defender marking Suarez don't they.

It was his third time doing this, he's already had two bans so of course it was going to be heavy especially doing it in the biggest international tournament going.

As for his credentials being removed, what choice did FIFA have? What reason did he have for still being there? HE HAS NO BUSINESS HAVING CREDENTIALS. That's why they were removed and why he was told to fuck off. That doesn't mean he's being treated like a criminal.

He's being treated like a person without appropriate credentials.

I like psychedelic stuff, but thats enough for me.

go to your local shopping centre and bite people at random. see for yourself if its an assault or not.

[Madmax 9,219]

Henrique just can't handle the tooth

[BlueLyon 9,359]

A cunt as big as him should get more punishment. Back then when he stoped that ball vs ghana, I knew what a cunt he is.

Next time someone bites you at the office don't call it an assault. Be a gentleman, give the man your whole arm.

Yes it does.

Because if you do it a third time it means you will never learn. So you have no choice but to throw the book at him, or some chiellini. ?

The thing is - if he HAD ADMITTED IT and apologised - I think his punishment would have been less.

Not admitting it, threatening to sue FIFA etc is never going to end well

That's why he's a MASSIVE BELL END along with all of his supporters.

Admit you did something wrong, take the punishment like a man and move on...

I mean the video evidence is there - why even deny it?

I guess you don't have kids?

Monkey see, monkey do - is how children are influenced, parenting and education provide a filter for behaviour - along with children finding 'role models'

Suarez did something that was so out of the ordinary for a football match, it's hard for parents to explain (rationally) and to ensure kids don't think this behaviour is acceptable.

Football has worked hard (especially in the UK) to get rid of racism, fighting and bad language - so that the sport millions of children follow can be enjoyed by the whole family - this is a good thing.

I'm sure you can twist my words to suit your agenda - fair play - I always read your posts and try to understand the different angle you take, I like that - it challenges my thoughts and opinions. But, I'm really struggling to understand your perspective on this.

People are saying this is harsh.....funnily enough, I don't think it's enough.

[Henrique 9,133]

Even Chielini, the victim, is saying the punishment is excessive.

Because it is not an easy one...

One one hand it's a ridiculous thing, he's done before, and he is a role model (yeah right!). If we go that route then many will have to be banned for life (Balotelli).

On the other hand, is Chiellini unable to play? What was the actual long-term effects caused by the sick act. He did not break a leg, or went over the ball to hurt the player: it was something very silly and that's why we have all these jokes over the internet.

He certainly deserves a ban, but I still find it ironic that he gets 4 months, while players who literally and intentionally break the leg/knee/ankle of a colleague get a couple/handful of matches.

Suarez would also normally just get a handful of matches but this is his third offence...
