Suarez....flawed genius

[Yorkshire Blue]

Minutes silence for ivanovic's arm next game?

A minute's silence for Liverpool's season more likely.

Can't think of too many precedents for English football (although Suarez has previous for it in the Netherlands), so we'll have to look at rugby union to work out how long a ban is appropriate.

South African prop Johan Le Roux bit New Zealand hooker Sean Fitzpatrick's ear during a scrum during a test in 1994, receiving an 18 month ban.[9] After the disciplinary hearing he stated that "For an 18-month suspension, I feel I probably should have torn it off". Kevin Yates, an English international, was cited for foul play in 1998 by London Scottish after a player suffered a serious injury to his left ear[14] and subsequently received a six month ban.[15] In 2008 an English club player was banned for eighty weeks following a biting incident that left a player with "a partial amputation of the right index finger".[16] A Welsh club rugby player was jailed for a year in 2008 for biting an opponents earlobe off

Tsk. Windass did it to Flahavan.

It was only a little bite.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

At least he makes Mohsni look normal.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Yeah attacking people with scissors is normal.

Ok, so if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes but is confronted with a clear bite mark on an opposing player's arm, what would the right course of action be? None? He saw there had been an incident because of the reaction at the time, but didn't know what it was.

It's the same as a gash down the leg. If a ref didn't see the incident, he can't do anything.

Oh I saw that woman on Embarrasing Bodies last week.

Absolute disgrace...

bat5hit crazy tbh, mind you i think football needs more of this, especially the snorefest that is the premier league.

Yeah, if there's one thing modern football is lacking it's casual racism and violent thuggery.

 

[OldBlueLady]

FA has charged him with violent conduct and he has till 6 this evening to answer to it from what I understand. What possible defence can he have?

FA need to grow a pair here and act to show that there is no place for this (and to act retrospectively on Dean Windass if necessary :winking:)!

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

He committed a very public assault, charge him (merseyside police), convict of assault and deport as undesirable criminal. let Liverpool sue him like Chelsea did with the cokehead that they signed.

 

[southend4ever]

what punishment did tyson getting for biting an ear off?

Had his licence revoked (got it back a year later) and was fined $3 million plus legal costs! :stunned:

 

[C C Csiders]

I'd make him do community service at the Mr Kipling factory putting the indentations in the pastry, with his gnashers, on the jam tarts

That's a decent punishment.

 

[BrettieAngell]

That's a decent punishment.

Yeah I thought he was banged up for it tbh.

 

[Pubey]

10 game ban.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Way too harsh, should have been 6 at most. He's been made a scapegoat.

 

[C C Csiders]

The Liverpool hypocrital victim menatlity has kicked-in I see. Think he is extremely lucky to get just 10 games, bearing in mind his previous 7 match ban in Holland and his 8 match ban for racist language. 14 games should have been absolute minimum (double the 7).
