Rom2013 446 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 no. he lent in with his head. no chance of hurting anyone. definite red card. no more. mullers reacton was embarrassing.now this is a proper pepe assault.And that's the situation I said , and Pepe had a 10 games suspension for that. That's not normal. And the next time he does something as stupid as this he is "dead".And Pepe has a bad reputation because of that, and deserved, but in 10 years I can't remember one single injury he caused to another player.This situation is a lot worst than the one Figo or the other player did... and had no consequences for Casquero. Many times it's more important the action than te consequeces of that action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's really bad but that's a normal situation in football... anyway I think he will be out for a good time. He had no intention to break the leg of the other player that's a normal reaction.Figo also destroyed the carreer of the player Cesar Jimenez 10 years ago. Things like this happen: One thing is a normal moment of the game, other thing is what Pepe did to Casquero, or Keane to Haland, or Suarez for the third time. That's assualt and yes out of a football pitch can be a crime.Just for the record, I don't really understand why "a normal situation" is better than an abnormal as a rule. People get shot every day... School shooting are becoming normal in the US.. just as an example, even if a horrific one.The most important aspect is the consequence of the act. Myself, many professional players, and coaches believe the act itself, although silly, even ridiculous, and fully deserved of suspension, is no worse than many other things that happen on the pitch, and are considered "normal."Ask any player in a match whether they'd rather let Suarez have a bite at them , or pick up a serious injury and I reckon they'd all pick the former.

It doesn't have to do with damage caused. It has to do with sportsmanship and the fact that biting someone isn't something a grown man should do.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 He was fined by FA. FIFA has nothing to do with his behavior in Premier League.I don't understand what you're trying to say. It's not like Suarez is a completely different person when he plays for Uruguay. He's the same guy that bit two players in the past. It doesn't matter who juges him, FIFA or the FA, his past still matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far worst things that happen on the pitch than a bite, however ridiculous and abnormal that may be.Wasn't Brazil Leonardo, a model professional until then, who destroyed the face of an USA player in 94 WC with a thrown elbow? He got 4 games ban.Chiellini and Ivanovic smile and shake their heads, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 How is this punishment excessive? I don't understand.. It's his third offence for biting. Once is bad enough ffs, but three times?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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.I think you're mixing up the act (dangerous tackle, biting someone) with the consequences of that act (broken leg, bite marks). When deciding how long to ban someone you should only look at the act and how much intent there was to harm the player, not what happened to the intended victim.For example leg breaking tackles happen a lot. The fact that the victim doesn't break his leg doesn't mean the aggressor should be given a lesser punishement because his intended victim got lucky to have not broken his leg.Also biting isn't something a sane person does and it's the third time he's done this. That also comes into play when deciding how long to punish him.I actually feel he should have been punished longer.The guy just has mental problems.Oh and the attitude of the Uruguyan Coach and that one player is just disgracefull. Pretending like Suarez didn't bite Chiellini and calling him a liar. 1 word for that : Classless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 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?You really shouldn't underestimate the effect this has on Children.Children are extremely prone to copying (famous) people they look up too.

Pretending like Suarez didn't bite Chiellini and calling him a liar. 1 word for that : ClasslessI am not mixing them, I'm using both as information.Make up your mind... is he insane or does he show intent?! Because by law, intention demands sanity.The intent of the tackle does not matter as much as people make it out to be - in the rules: players can and will be shown red cards due to excessive force regardless of intent. Same reason if your hand touches the football inside the box it's a handball even without intention (esp if changes direction etc). You lunge at a player with both feet, studs up, you may get a red regardless whether you touch the football or not.So, based on your logic, we are (severely) punishing Suarez for being insane? Isn't making the same mistake over and over again (costing him a lot) proving that he has no control over it? That it is NOT about intent?!
