The defenders will be not only scared of his ability, but also of being bitten. That's an unfair advantage.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown | 2013/14
- Thread starter Buchan
- Start date
I agree. But the consequence of action is not as severe as that of bad challenges no?
No, no and no.
What sort of punishment would that be? What sort of precedent would it set? Suspending a ban until after the end of the tournament would be a terrible decision and it won't happen.
Dear oh dear oh dear!
You're an idiot. "it would ruin the quality of this World Cup" - what kind of retarded logic is that?!
You know what, forget it. No, I'm definitely not a Liverpool fan, I just recognise the value of entertainment and controversy in the World Cup finals. Yes, I do believe in the beautiful game of football. I'm not even Irish, but I felt betrayed when Henry handled the ball to win France WC qualification four years ago. Suarez's incident isn't really like that. But fine, I guess there is no argument for it.
RAWK can be bizarre at times like this, and some of their posts are disturbing. I suppose this place can be like that too, at times. It seems whenever a Liverpool player crosses the line, they're quick to bring up Keane and Cantona.
Difference is, for me, that Keane tackle permanently tainted his legacy in my eyes. A vengeful act of violence, and any punishment was acceptable. I still think he got off very lightly, I thought he was going to get a permanent ban at the time, and I wouldn't have argued against that (then or now).
Cantona's incident, I was somewhat more understanding of. I can't get my head around how some people feel that by attending a football match they're somehow magically entitled to shout the most vile abuse on the planet at players. Behaviour and actions that would get you either locked up or knocked out in any other environment. That said, what Cantona did was wrong, and he deserved a lengthy ban.
In the past few years, Suarez has been found guilty of: Cheating in a World Cup elimination match with the handball incident, bringing the integrity of fair play into question, and eliminating a team who probably deserved to advance. He's bitten 3 players now. He's been found guilty of racially abusing of a player. And on top of this all his other cynical antics and diving, the same type of behavior I've gladly and severely criticised Young, Nani, Ronaldo and other United players for in the past.
I hope FIFA throw the book at Suarez. Like it or not, it seems every premier league weekend I catch a glimpse of a player cursing. But when it was Wayne Rooney cursing, he got a ban. Why? Because he's a huge player on the world stage, children look up to him, blah blah. I accept that. Well now the Premier League player of the year, Liverpool and Uruguay idol, one of the stars of the world cup, has lost his mind and gone and bit someone (again - after being punished twice in his career for it) during a world cup match. It's many things, but certainly not hypocrisy, to hope and expect the punishment is severe.

Windup and I fell for it.
Stop being so precious, Suarez handball wasn't given any retroactive. So does heaps of incidents in the "normal course" of football that goes unnoticed, nobody rescinded Argentina WC win.
He stupidly bit chielini and it got caught on TV, he serves the punishment. It's not discrimination or some sort of "LS16" only punishment.
Wow.
This
We acknowledge what Keane does as cnutish, and nobody here tells it isnt a cnutish things to do. Ditto with Cantona.
We forgive them, perhaps... but we never think that they do not do anything wrong
RAWK on the other hand, twisted and distort it and thinks that he has done nothing wrong.
It wasn't completely a wind-up. Look at the goals Suarez scored against England last week! Cutting a player like that who can score goals like that (because he's an idiot) would taint upcoming fixtures and Uruguay's chances. But yes, he should get an extensive 15 game international and domestic ban hopefully.
Spot on. He has put them in a spot of bother, this next punishment must be severe.
Luckily, Henry was a very entertaining player so no big deal.
I'll never understand why Keane and Cantona's idiotic behavior in the past has to be brought up everytime Suarez does another one of his lunacies. Yes, their acts were deplorable, and Cantona certainly did his time for the crime and Keane definitely got off lightly. Suarez has been doing this repeatedly over the course of many years and his actions are independent of Keane's or Cantona's.
Actually, let's take this to the Suarez thread. This one is for laughing at RAWK.
And here we have a big reason why we have so many of the behavioural problems inherent in the modern game. Your right to "entertainment" and controversy as you call it is more important than the rules of the game (and decency in fact) and punishing a player who shows little regard for them on such a regular basis. And following your logic there would really be no point in punishing anyone to the point of removing them from the field if it is going to lower the quality of the football you can watch. Are you opposed to red cards? Yellow cards? How about removing fouls from the game and, that way, nobody can ever get banned? In fact, while we're at it, let's just not have any rules. That would be wildly entertaining except it wouldn't be a game of football.
So if it was any other non-star player, you'd give them a ban. But because it's Suarez, you'd let him off the hook just because you find him entertaining? Thank god you're not president of FIFA. What kind of a messed up double standard is that? Treating Suarez like he's entitled to special treatment is exactly why he goes around thinking biting people is a sign of "passion" and "dedication" and not, oh I don't know, a sign of poor mental health?
Is there any way by which any FIFA ban could also cover domestic football as well as international?
That's just being greedy.
So the next time a player racially abuses somone should we wait until the end of the season for him to be punished when the whole thing isnt fresh in everyopne's mind? Shouuld the same apply for a player causing serious injury witjh a two footed leg breaker?
In its feck its shouldnt, do the cnut now he doesnt deserve to play any further in this WC.
The flat out lie response.
The totally deluded, retarded and most likely insane response.
Scousers eh?

Yes, they could ban him from all club and country games if they wanted to.
What's that victim mentality
Nobody forces him to bit anyone, he ruin his own country's chances of progressing against Columbia.
Stop creating things, just accept that he bit them and he's a bit looney
Should they review every offence after the world cup then? why stop at Suarez?
From BBC Sportsday...
So it's all class and liverpool way, but when it comes to Suarez, so fecking what, he scores goal
Sickening
Sickening
Ahahahaha.
Offended by everything, ashamed off nothing.
There's actually a guy on there who is adamant that it was a "headbutt gone wrong". He went to header Chiellini, missed, and the momentum took his teeth into Cheillini's shoulder 
Liverpool are historically one of the world's great clubs but how much mediocrity do you (now) need to be steeped in to be so blinded and make such a tit of yourself all in the name of defending one good player.

What about Suarez's handball to deny Ghana's goal that would see them through to the semi's 4 years ago then?
Actually I agree with Drunk, it would spoil the entertainment of the tournament if ratface was banned.
I also think that Sweden should be allowed to play so we can watch Ibra at the WC, also the tournament should be delayed until all the top players out injured are fit again, so we can watch Ribery, Falcao et al, that would be a proper World Cup!

Are you serious?You might be on to something here. Maybe teams could nominate a couple of their star players before the tournament begins so they're immune to sending offs for the duration of the World Cup. A panel would then decide if these players are quality enough to be given this status.
Too bad this idea wasn't around 8 years ago. Zidane might have had two WC medals by now.
Here is what I find confusing about you: You 'feel betrayed' by Henry's cheating eliminating the Irish but you cannot feel the same outrage at how Suarez' behaviour has tainted the whole tournament (much as his cheating did in South Africa 2010)?
The World Cup is meant to be the pinnacle of the beautiful game's international influence. Despite all our infrastructure mis-givings, Brazil 2014 was shaping up to be a wonderful celebration of all that is good about our global game and then .... Suarez.
If I had children of the age to be entranced by the magic of the World Cup I would not want Luis Suarez' brand of 'entertainment' going unpunished. There should be immediate and severe consequences for this disgraceful serial offender. Throw the book at him and then close the chapter so that we can go back to talking about Brazil 2014 for the right reasons.
He will likely to get an international ban which will only benefit Liverpool. This could actually put Barca off trying to sign the player too and Liverpool are club without morals so this will suit them nicely.
It's just not done! There is a line, as they say, and he crossed it - again.

You can go in for a genuine challenge and accidentally break someones leg. Theres no way you can bite someone by accident.
What makes a biting incident worse for most people i think is that well its just fecking odd to bite another Human being once let alone 3 times now.
He should get a serious ban 6-12 months i reckon its the only thing that might send him the message that he cant keep biting people.
@Dunk The dirty feckers that are FIFA have only went and charged him, I believe a strongly worded letter is in order.
P.S Don't forget to tell them about your idea.

Dunk is sad
And people saying Suarez cheated at the 2010 WC are being disingenuous. He got punished for handling the ball. The ball didn't cross the line, he got sent off (and banned for two subsequent matches) and Ghana got a penalty, which they missed. The only disgusting thing he did was celebrate like a rat after Gyan missed.
And I'm not finished. Any decent footballer would have handled the ball to give their country a chance in that situation.
Being odd can't surely be that serious a crime though? And I admit its really fcking odd.
