Am i the only one who doesn't see the big deal with a bite?

Two footed tackles, high one footed tackles, elbows, headbutts.... all are actions which have the potential to cause more harm. All actions which at worst are worth a 3 game ban. While a bite is worth more scrutiny?

I mean for christ sake a bite is an action you can even use in lovemaking. I've bitten my wife on the odd occasion during a passionate one to one. I've not elbowed her. I've not headbutted her. I've not gone in with a two footed tackle on her.

Everyone needs to take a step back a bit. What he did wasn't nice, but it is no way worth the major furore it's getting. It should just be put alongside the same category to what Fellaini did the other month. He received a 3 match ban for that didn't he?

:lol::lol: That is honestly pathetic. I wonder if he would say the same to a teacher informing him that another child had bitten his kid? Doubtful.

Yep, I was talking about it with some friends and one is a liverpool fan, he pulled out the keane/cantona defence and I called him out on it for 'trying to use another team's indiscretions to justify the actions of your own players'. He then claimed he was just pointing out that United arent angels, despite the fact no one said that we were. He soon piped down again

Why do they feel the need to mention what previous United players ? What's the link with what Suarez did yesterday ?

It just deflects attention away from what he's done (though it fails miserably and makes them look a laughing stock). They are all quick to point out what keane/cantona did, but dont present the full story along with it like the motivations and the subsequent punishments that were handed out.

Always the victims.....
 
Hilarious that they're getting on Souness' back for mentioning Hillsborough. I mean, bringing up Hillsborough at inappropriate times is literally all they do.

It's like the stock response from Liverpool fans is something along the lines of

"no defending Suarez today, but get off your high horse, Cantona kicked a fan, and Keane tried to end someone's career"

Standard deflection of the guilty.

How is anything else relevant to today anyway?

And for anyone asking what the fuss is with a bite, ask yourself whether you'd want to be punched or bitten?

I'd guess punched.
 
So they are mentioning United players in relation to an incident in a game that United was not playing in, had nothing to do with United, no effect on United. They are absolute idiots.

Also, since they are bringing Cantona into it, let the FA hand out the same ban to Suarez that Cantona got.

Ask yourself what kind of person resorts to biting someone else at any level of provocation? Twice.
 
Looks like Liverpool will not be making the same mistakes as with the Evra incident.

They should now give him their own ban and fine, which would essentially wash their hands so suarez and leave him out to dry.

Think about it, we could win our 20th league title this week while Liverpool face another shitstorm thanks to Suarez, which will end up in another long term ban for him.

It's fecking perfect :lol:.

Even the Guardian has turned on Liverpool...Link

Luis Suárez's bite has proven again he is a liability, even at his peak

Loss of control so often evident in his career returns to bring shame to Liverpool on what should have been a poignant day

Luis Suárez has shown few signs of genuine remorse for a litany of serious offences during his career.

Step back briefly from the implausible images of Luis Suárez gripping Branislav Ivanovic's arm with both his hands and biting down on the Serb's biceps and, instead, reflect on events back in the Netherlands in November 2010. The Eredivisie had had a week to digest the moment the Uruguayan snapped, enraged as he was by a series of stamps on his foot by PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal before, in his frustration, he clamped down spitefully on his opponent's shoulder. A shocked local press had dubbed him "the Cannibal of Ajax", the authorities banning him for seven games. Then came the apology.

"I know I took a decision that was wrong," he offered at the time. "In those moments, your heartbeat is very high and sometimes you don't think about what you are doing. I am very sorry about that. I am very critical of myself. I am not like that. From this point on, I need to work harder."

Events here suggest he has plenty still to address. Back then Suárez had apparently been operating outside himself, whipped up by the frenzy of battle. Two and a half years on, via the notoriety of the Patrice Evra affair and all those regular allegations of diving which now feel so petty, he is still clearly incapable of controlling those same emotions: the anger wells up, all sense lost as things go against him, and he lashes out in his exasperation. As brilliant as he can be, his temper makes him a liability.

It is staggering that it has come to this again. The aftermath at Anfield should have focused on that sublime first-time clip across goal that set up Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool's first equaliser, or the near-post header deposited beyond Petr Cech almost seven minutes into stoppage time at the end that has so threatened Chelsea's aspirations of returning to the Champions League.

It might also have lingered on the arm raised almost comically to make contact with Juan Mata's corner, an offence punished with a penalty to offer the visitors their hope of victory. Memories might have drifted back to the World Cup quarter-final of 2010 and Ghana's sense of injustice when Suárez blocked Dominic Adiyiah's goal-bound effort on the line and was sent off after making what he claimed was "the save of the tournament". He had celebrated Asamoah Gyan's subsequent miss from the spot-kick on the sidelines.

Instead, there was only the bite to hold the attention. As Ivanovic pulled up the sleeve of his shirt, pointed at the markings and complained, almost in disbelief, to the referee, Kevin Friend, Suárez had actually been picking himself up gingerly from the clash as if to imply he had been the victim of the real injustice. The official spoke with him in the goalmouth but the body language was dismissive, his expression one of wide-eyed innocence. Perhaps by then he had already realised he had let himself down yet again.

In truth, he had been on the edge from the moment he handled in the other box, his mood darkened by the award. Replays of the incident were already being broadcast as Liverpool prepared to take the resultant corner and even he must have realised there would be nowhere to hide.

It was his inability to retain any semblance of self-control that beggared belief, and it is that which leaves him a player as capable of inflicting as much damage upon Liverpool's reputation as any opponents' backline. This was, as the club's former midfielder Jamie Redknapp pointed out post-match, utterly indefensible. It was also brutish and, quite frankly, ridiculous.

"Embarrassing," said Graeme Souness. "He looked to take a chunk out of him. That's scary … it's what children do in a pram. He is making it very difficult for himself to stay at Liverpool. This puts him in the last chance saloon. This club is a world renowned football club. It is up there with any Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United. But this is going to show Liverpool in a very bad light‚ especially in this week of all weeks."

The timing hurts. This was an occasion when this arena had remembered the courage of Anne Williams, a mother who had lost her son at Hillsborough and campaigned tirelessly for justice until her death only days after attending the 24th anniversary memorial service on the Kop. It was also a day when Liverpool and Chelsea supporters remembered those who had lost their lives in Boston – a city with such close ties to Fenway Sports Group – at last Monday's marathon bombing.

That made it feel even more inexcusable to have sullied the club's reputation. The vast majority of callers to BBC Radio Merseyside's football phone-in on Sunday night were calling for Suárez's sale, their own disgust very evident. They, of course, might all have been mischievous Evertonians but one would hope common sense has kicked in. This was utterly depressing.

It seems inconceivable now but the 26-year-old had actually been rebuilding his reputation in this country after last season's eight-game ban for racially abusing Evra. Only on Friday he had been one of the six nominations for the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, a reflection of his mesmeric abilities with a football at his feet, but all that seems forgotten now.

Even with another apology to digest, Suárez's very future at this club must surely have been jeopardised. This was shameful. How can there be any recovery from this?

After telling my Ecuadorian wife what happened she replied with "biting, is that all?" Overblown cultural issue clearly

Anyone else think it is odd Suarez comes out in the press as committing to staying at LFC, but the very
next game he bites Ivanovic? One bizarre way to look at this is that he creates a context where he does
not leave LFC, but forces LFC to leave him.

In psychotherapy, this is the classic example of a mixed message. One arm motions to come closer, while the
other pushes to stay back. I am not sure he really wants to be at Anfield. If he did, he would really examine
his own behavior and not repeat it. This behavior actually was reinforced as it eventually landed him in the EPL.
He is set for the switch if you ask me.

Not another theoretical physics theory, but still it is a good one.
