RAWK Goes Into Meltdown | 2013/14

Suarez thought thought that his dinner was teenie
And he fancied some nice tortellini
But he ran out of meat
When he wanted to eat
So he bit out of poor Chiellini

There was a young man called Luis
Who, with a lack food, he thought "phooey"
So he took a big bite
Out of Chiellini's left arm, not his right
And said "This is nicer than Chop Suey"
 
Is this one of those rare occasions that blackface is appropriate Sharky?

No it isn't Other Sharky, no it isn't.



Also I'm loving this "Liverpool are being punished for something he did elsewhere" logic.

If Suarez tried to rob a bank tomorrow (which, you know, he does have a clear schedule now is all I'm saying) and he got caught and chucked in the slammer would that also be unfairly punishing Liverpool for something he did elsewhere?
Agreed, it's not like it was out of the blue either, he has form, all those crying that Liverpool are innocent, we they had a choice twice, they bought him whilst serving his first bite ban in Holland and had chance to flog him last summer after his second bite, you take your chances right, if a player is injured on international duty, club games aren't suspended til the guy is fit again. Had it been any other offence or an other player, I would have some sympathy (say Sterling had bitten Suarez), but chances are the ban would have been less, the unprecedented thing is this is his third bite, it's a weird thing to do and he deserves his punishment, unfortunately for Liverpool they need to suck it up too, they took their chance on Luis and he let them down so ultimately they deserve the punishment too.
 
Not saying they have a point but someone asked what punishment Suarez would get if it had happened in the French league?

Over there they use a system of suspensions based on how long the injured party is out for, so if I broke your leg I'd be suspended until you recover. I'd imagine Chiellini could play again tomorrow if he wanted.

That's totally wrong, you go in ethic comission and can be suspended but it's not automatic. If you bite someone in the french ligue, we don't know what will be the sanction, but probably a dozen of games.

And if you break someone leg without making a foul you won't be suspended

That's his mugshot. Every year, all scousers have to send one in to their local police station to save time later on.
 
Have you seen the way all the RAWK posters talk about United as if they have been a midtable team for 10 years and Liverpool have been dominating for that period ? You wouldn't think it was the other way round apart from 1 season in like 25. I am truly embarrassed some of them occupy the same city as me.

Absolute nonsense. You could make a perfectly good tackle that's unfortunate, like Evans v Holden, and you're out for 8 months?

No, Italy were knocked out.

Therein lies the flaw with the French system then.
 
I keep finding some gems there

RAWK poster 245678 :

One day there'll be a statue outside Anfield of Suarez biting an opponent. A bit like that one outside the French national stadium of Zidane head-butting the other Italian.

It's hard to know what to think about Tooth-gate. Those people in outright denial that it even happened (a few Reds, all of Uruguay) are clearly a bit mad themselves. Those talking about it as if it's up there with the Armenian genocide as an international atrocity are even madder. I think I read somewhere that Danny Mills believes Luis should be banned from football for ever. The hypocrisy on all sides is breathtaking. Including mine. If it was Rooney who'd done the biting I'd probably be speaking like Danny Mills. So would you. We're all opportunists at heart.

In truth my first reaction was to laugh. Then I thought about it for a bit and laughed again. Then I felt relieved that he wasn't a wearing a Liverpool shirt when it happened. My main concern now is that our club isn't punished for his crime. I couldn't care a damn if Luis misses the rest of the World Cup but what happened in international football should stay in international football.

The bloke's clearly fecking mad of course - at least when he gets on a footy pitch. We all knew that anyway. It's what makes him dangerous, in both senses of the word. I think he probably does need help, although as a Liverpool fan you'd have to fear a little bit that therapy might also tamper with his genius. A gum-shield might be a better idea. It'd be a little bit humiliating at first (like Pennant's ankle tag) but Luis would probably turn it into a status symbol of some kind after a few outings (think of the potential for new goal celebrations). And a gum-shield would allow defenders to concentrate on the game rather than play in fear of the roving incisor.

Then again, should defenders be totally free of this fear? Here's the hypocrisy again. I sort of think some defenders should be bitten. I especially think Chiellini should be bitten. Anyone who saw the rest of the Uruguay-Italy game will know what I mean (or anyone who knows anything about Italian football, period). The constant kicking at opponents, the feigning of injury when it was in the Italian interest to waste time, the repetitive clutching at his head in order to get an opponent sent off, and even the little dig he gave Luis less than 30 seconds before he got his comeuppance.

Pirlo too was a candidate for a revenge bite. At one point this fraud turned round and gave Suarez a fearful blow with his elbow. The Ref didn't spot it. Commentators did - on the channel I was watching at least - and called it an 'accident'. Pirlo is seen as some kind of Olympian on the field you see. Hypocrisy again. In a way, when you think about it, it's no accident that Italians were on the receiving end of both Zidane and Suarez's 'interventions'. As a football nation they've probably elevated gamesmanship and cheating to the highest level over the years. Except Borini of course. Oh, and Aquilani when he was at Liverpool.

Someone made the good point earlier that Luis knows he's done wrong. I bet the regret began to sink in at the same time as the teeth. In fact he was so confused and upset by what he'd done that he started clutching his teeth as soon as he did it. It was almost as if he were saying to FIFA, "Please help me. Take these teeth out. They're not mine!" Then of course he cut a disconsolate figure as he left the pitch. He knew what he'd done and he was frightened and ashamed.

I think he's probably got it out of his system now. I always thought he had three bites in him, not just the two. So did a Norwegian fella, according to the Beeb, who just took the bookies to the cleaners with a crafty punt on a Suarez World Cup bite. Well done that man! But though the last Suarez bite was a big one but this is bigger. The globe watched it. It won't go away. The saddest thing for Luis, I think, is that despite the fact that he's done some incredible things on the footy field and will go on to do much more, he'll always be known now as the footballer who bites. Who cares, right? So long as he wins us the League? Well, I'm sure he will. But that's his look out.
OH GOD this is hilarious, I mean honestly Ive never ever read anything so insane in all my years.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHA brilliant.

It hoenstly has everything you want in an insane ramble on RAWK we have to save it, its just my favorite ever.

He lists candidates for "revenge bites" as if Saurez is doing a service to the greater good with his ratty instincts.

He then goes on to say that Saurez was clutching his own teeth begging FIFA to remove them for him HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA.

Oh and theres his commercialization of gum shields that he believes could become a global celebration.

OH GOD and then tops it off by saying " he will launch us to glory" he obviously missed the news that Saurez lawyer said hes agreed to join Barca.
 
Sense:

RAWKite said:
It is hypocritical. But so is our abuse of players of other clubs for other transgressions while seeking to minimise the impact on Liverpool of Suarez's. So is the abuse Diouf got for spitting, while we seek to excuse-while-not-excusing Suarez. So is the only serious abuse Suarez ever had had on RAWK, which was for the 'crime' of wanting to leave the club (a crime we want Lallana and Lovren to commit against Southampton). Most of all, so is the underlying point in these discussions, that people will deflect or ignore Suarez's failings because of how good a player he is.

It's all hypocrisy, which pretty much comes with being a football supporter. As Strachan said, there are no morals in football. For some, I think, there comes a point where you recognise that and think enough's enough.

Seems the punishment could be more servere based on the luck of the player getting tackled. If he is lucky and escapes injury you get away with it, regardless of how malicious your intent was.
 
This is sport and in practical terms it's F*cking him at his peak.

Its beyond that. It is actually denying him any human rights.


England lost against who again?

Oh, and who scored the goals?

Fascinating, and who did FIFA call to consult on the ban?

Shocking, and what did UK born FIFA Vice-president Jim Boyce say?

I will be disappointed with them if they at-least don't start an online petition and bring back the jerseys. And of course, spam with emails the shit of FIFA, FA, Evra and Mr. Ferguson. Especially the last two, they are to be blamed more than anyone else because they started Suarez' hate with their lies.
 
I think it would be fecking beautiful if they sold him for about 25m to some continental team. Even better to go to the thrift shop after where I am sure you could pick up a ladies 4x Suarez jersey on the cheap. Probably be great to use as a dropcloth when painting.

Prety sure they will get 60m+ if they decide to sell him. And IMO they should sell him because the next time he'll decide to eat the flesh of man on a football pitch, FA will be merciless and give him an one year ban (if not more).
 
If / when Suarez leaves this summer, he'll be a hero in their eyes and the only reason why he left will be because of the English media / FIFA..

I think maybe 50 would get him given his penchant for being suspended. If I am Pool I move him pronto.

Yep. He now has no human rights at all. He is no longer allowed to do anything. This includes practice freedom of movement, freedom of speech, have a right to a fair trial etc.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic :(
 
Do you disagree with what i've said?

TBH not particularly, especially in relation to Liverpool's midfielders (unless Henderson somehow does a Ramsey).

More to the point though you have no idea how Herrera will adapt to the PL, so to say categorically that he will be world class is ironic when it was a response to the RAWK post.

I can't be certain how Herrera will adapt to the Epl but i definately have an idea after watching alot of games he's played in the last few seasons.
 
Can you imagine what a footballer would go through in 4 months when completely removed from all football activity? He cannot conduct his day-to-day business, he cannot really train, he cannot be around the people he normally associates with in football except his family, he cannot meet his contractual obligations, maybe he's not even allowed to engage in football-related charity work.

He'd be better off sitting at home, watch telly and switch off his mobile.
This man- if not helped immediately, will crack during these four months and he will do something we did not expect.


This incident was so severe, in fact, that it warrants FIFA taking the law into their own hands by breaching employment law, the right to fair and consistent treatment and the right to rehabilitation. Even *charities* are better off without him, it would appear. Who is being punished there, then? Who suffers more than the charity?

So heinous, the incident was, that he had to be (unlawfully, I presume - what right did they have?) evicted from a hotel. It was so severe that he has to be banished completely from the activity and support network that has done him so well in the past year that he was commended for his behaviour. In fact, this incident was so dreadful that this player should be isolated and nullified completely despite his obvious issues.

RAWK seems to be taking the absolutely incredible stance that

a) Biting isn't that bad and shouldn't be punished harshly
b) Despite this, the fact that Suarez bites people means he needs a support network and is in danger of cracking up


Extra bonus material

When the FA sentenced him for the Ivanovic bite they also did this. In their judgement they actually cited the fact it trended on twitter as a reason the ban should be so lengthy. I seem to remember the Anfield Wrap saying hypothetically if JLS had of split up on the day of the bite his ban could have been reduced.
 
Liverpool fans fail to understand that it is within FIFA's power to ban players worldwide in exceptional circumstances and have done so before. A player committing his third offence for the same despicable action (plus a racist charge behind him) is exceptional.

A ban from International matches alone would not have been punishment enough.

Also, if Liverpool think it is 'unfair' that they are being punished for something he did for Uruguay....would it have been fair for the ban to apply just to Uruguay games when the severity was influenced by previous offences at club level? No, no it wouldn't be fair.

Why do Liverpool love playing the victims?
