  1. If Liverpool were to sack Suarez though, they're not punishing him, they're punishing themselves because he is arguably their best player and without funds from his transfer, they'd struggle to replace him. Suarez would simply sign for another club. If you were sacked for biting an employee, it would be the complete opposite, the company would just replace you with someone else who wants your job and you'd end up unemployed, looking for a job with a muddy history.

    The FA fortunately can discipline him for his behaviour because the referee didn't punish him. It's no consolation for Chelsea because Suarez scored the equaliser when he shouldn't have been on the field. He has history and the FA should take that into account. The English FA are terribly inconsistent though so you can expect anything from a fine (aka nothing) and a lengthy ban.
  2. An apology isn't good enough. He needs punished and justice must be served. If I were Ivanovic, I'd be getting a tetanus jag and amputating my arm.

    That's exactly the problem. The clubs (employers) are held to ransom by these players. It's ridiculous. How Joey Barton is in a job for example is insane. Liverpool can't do Nything here. They will have to fine him at very very least but assuming Suarez gets another ban how many games will that total through the racism case, red cards and now this?

    The game has just gone wild. I think I'll declare myself a non watcher from here on and just avoid getting annoyed at this nonsense.

    Thank god for cricket and MotoGP.
  4. Ivanovic should privately prosecute him for assualt.

    If the fa do nothing and by nothing i mean anything less than the ban cantona got or ferdinand for missing his drugs test then i'm with those who are through with football. Didn't some rugby player bite an opponent some time ago - what punishment did he get?
  5. Suarez has been advised to take anger management classes.
  6. lesson one

  8. This is almost as good as the fun we had when Balotelli flexed his muscles
  9. I think what he did was absolutley stupid and doesn't belong on the pitch. But if I see what happens in English Football from time to time I think the reactions to him are too much and to harsh. I remember a tackle on Eduardo, one on Ben Arfa and even one a couple of weeks ago (Don't remember who, which team, but he didn't get suspended) Or even the tackle Aguero did last week in the FA Cup.
    Those tackles are dangerous and can cause some serious damage to a career of another player, this is not dangerous for Ivanovic.

    But like I said he should get suspended for a couple of matches, but the newspapers and other reactions are to harsh imo.
  10. i agree with you Bart

    however .. for the next match ..



  11. I love the pictures
  12. I disagree with you, Bart. Regarding the fallout anyway. As you said, there is no place for this on the field. The difference between this and Martin Taylor's tackle on Eduardo (for example) is that one is a footballing incident and the other is not. Now and again, players are going to make poor tackles. There were two red cards in the Fulham vs. Arsenal game at the weekend for "high" tackles. I do feel though, that Giroud was terribly unlucky to be shown red, but rules are rules. Suarez however wasn't attempting to tackle Ivanovic, he simply took it upon himself to assault him. The thing that makes it worse is that it's not an isolated incident for Suarez. There is something wrong with him if he's resorting to biting players.

    I think the other incident you refer to is McManaman on Haidara (Wigan vs. Newcastle). He escaped punishment because the FA can't punish retrospectively if an official has seen the incident. Which begs the question, if the assistant saw it, why didn't he notify the referee?
