Is that not defending him? Playing down the severity of an incident is defending him. It's pretty hard to defend when everyone can see what he has done, Liverpool fans aren't that stupid.

Defending him sensibly then I guess, effectively your getting at he could murder their own mothers and they'd find a reason it was okay. They are defending him... fairly I would say, not insanely. Insane would be saying he didn't bite him.

I also don't think they are wrong in that a bad tackle is worse than a bite, just more common and thus seen as more abnormal and worse due to that when really it isn't. However it's worse in that, well if it was just a bad tackle, it's like you regard a player who has done 20 leg breakers as worse than someone who did their first. The bite is another in a long line of woeful behaviour from him and that is why it's so bad.

He is a complete disgrace of a footballer because he dives more than almost anyone else, he does more nasty little kicks at ankles, sly little fouls attempting to injure, and he occasionally does those god awful potentially career ending tackles. The tackle he did at Ajax is one of the worst tackles I've ever seen, on par with Keane on they guys whose name I forget, when he intended to injure the guy.

Hilarious if Liverpool have to make do with letting him go for cheap, no doubt the club will try to defend him again.

Who's really going to want him now after this, it would make me angry playing with him on my own side nevermind the opposition. Part of me wishes he did it to someone who'd turn round and beat the living ***** out of him, Keane/Pearce/Cantona/Butcher would ruin the **** if he'd done that to them in their playing days.

I'd rather he'd be in my side - good chance he wouldn't bite me. ;)

Wonder if he'd have to play with a muzzle in future - scare the crap out of opposing defenders though :p

Outside of the bite its obvious he has some issues that need to be dealt with off the pitch - feel sorry for his family and club who will have to defend/deal with this. Its hard to find it not funny but something is wrong in his head and the quicker he gets it the better - he's a world class footballer...

ps3ud0 :cool:

I'm not playing it down, I'm just asking why no one gets outraged at the much worse blatant attempts to injure people some players do or how come the bans don't seem relative to the seriousness of the incident. (e.g. stamping on someone's chest, going for their knee when the ball is on the ground are probably going to leave you off much worse than someone biting you, no?)

If they do it 3 times, definitely. Most players learn not to be such a **** though.
 
Purdy, I think the issue most people have with the biting over an outright stamping is the sheer depravity and shock of such actions. We've all played a bit of Sunday league and accept you're going to get a bit of a battering during a game (hell I'm a dirty git because I have no skill and just muscle guys off the ball), but if anyone were to ever bare their teeth on my shoulder there would be one way that would end, and that would be with fisticuffs. It's just shocking.

:confused:

You really don't get it do you?

In the VAST majority of them incidents you CANNOT determine intent because we CANNOT read peoples minds.

The way this bite was committed it is pretty much clear cut deliberate and not an accidental clash or unintentional accident !!

I didn't say he was defending him insanely, I said he was defending him :confused:

Saying leg breaking tackles is worse than biting as some sort of excuse is insane. Tackles will happen in games some of them intentionally other not so much.

Biting is definitely knowing what you're doing.

Oh yeah, I get people are shocked by it, people get more outraged at someone spitting in the face of another person than some of the stamps etc. we see

Not arsed anyway, he hasn't done it in a Liverpool shirt (this time) and the ban won't affect us and if the rumoured 'buyout clause' for Real/Barca is what it is which people liked the believe until this point it benefits us as they likely won't want to pay that for him now :). Hopefully he isn't a **** for us next year and is the same as he was this year

Are you absolutely positive about that?
 
I love seeing Suarez play (Liverpool fan so...) but this is seriously ****ing me off now. Can't he have one single season where he gets by without any controversy? Getting to the point where no Liverpool fan will want his reputation near the first team and not other club will want his baggage. Just wondering how many more chances he'll get. Starting to think we should just sell him for the £60m (I know it's less than what Arsenal offered, though his value could diminish rapidly if he's found guilty of this) and get Sanchez with the cash.

People say a bite isn't as bad as lunging in with two feet but it's still disgusting to see. I know he's hungry for success but ****ing hell, that doesn't mean eat them up. When we say we'll have em for breakfast, we're speaking figuratively. -_-

Pretty sure FIFA can impose world wide bans just as UEFA can impose a ban throughout Europe. Don't be so sure. He's an excellent footballer but a failure at being a gentleman. Don't get me wrong, it's great having a player so ambitious and desiring of a win but he overdoes it. Shame because he just had a great season in the PL and seemed to have repaired his reputation in England. Space of two matches he's **** all that up again.
