The Suarez Bite

[Guest ShoePiss]

The way Utd handled Cantona is something we could learn from, gives me a little hope that it might not be the end of the road for Suarez here.

 

Cantona assaulting a fan put his club in a difficult position.

 

Rio Ferdinand swerving a drugs test put his club in a difficult position.

 

This? It's not a massive deal, is it. It was a stupid, petulant foul - and not even a dangerous one.

 

What happens next will be determined by the club's relationship with the media. I'd like to think our club had a set of love-spuds, but I'm not convinced.

 

I suppose you didn't see the above...

otherwise it would have been a nothing story, but since it's Liverpool & Suarez we can expect media shit storm

 

I love this little fucking lunatic, if 50% of our squad had balls like this and desire to win at all costs, the long ban period wouldn't have been such a problem really, today only him and Carra (+Sturridge) showed some guts

Do you normally head butt people with your teeth?

 

Silly angle to support your claim.Watch the video.Even from long distance it looks like a headbutt.Not arsed either way to be honest though mate.

[The Flâneur]

The FA will go to town on him, regardless of any precedent.

A silly angle? You really mean a clearer angle, yeah? Please?

 

ho ho holy moly

You don't have to look at any videos, his manager at the time admitted he bit him.

[FanchesterCity]

It's a bite. Not nice, but is that any worse than Aguero fancying a chunk of Luiz last week? Is is really worse than a deliberate elbow (which really could be dangerous)?

 

It's made out to be bad because our society finds biting (like spitting) to be disgusting.

 

A normal ban 2-3 games should suffice. The rest is media hype.

 

 

The bigger issue is that he knows he's in the spotlight, and it does the club no favours when this sort of stuff happens. He's not the first have a reputation, but common sense should be telling him to pack it in. This is the more worrying aspect from a club perspective.

 

Summary? - Huge overreaction.

[s(k)aturation]

It was a silly thing to do.

More childish than fiendish.

He will be punished.

Whether any of those three things are reason to sell him, I wouldn't have thought so.

Whether, on the other hand, they provide an excuse for him to be let go, who knows.

Rodgers on Suarez: "Players are always replaceable."

 

Complete distortion that, not even one line taken out of context ,that quote was part of a sentence in response to a question about...

 

also Rafa just stated he did not see the incident and that Ivanobitch is not receiving treatment and the dressing room was not in uproar, well played byRafa much to the media's disappointment, ah well maybe they should give Fergie a call

[Walton Park]

A spokesperson for Ivanovic has yet to make comment as they are still trying to walk round his arse to get to the press box.

[Red Soul]

If he did then ok.I apologise.From the video it looked like he just stuck his head in.I though Masch would have bitten him back though.

[Frank Dacey]

I don't think the ref saw it.

 

Given that it was Kevin Friend it'd be a miracle if he did see it.

[Captain Turdseye]

If you'd have offered Luis a point before the game, he'd have bit your fucking arm off.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I suppose you didn't see the above...

What are you after? Royalties?

;)

[JoeyJones65]

For those saying we should sell him........

 

Yeah lets get rid eh? Plenty of 20+ goals per season strikers out there who we could sign that would be happy playing for a club that aren't in Europe next season......

Fantastic post. Agree on every point.

[Section_31]

Embarrassing and indefensible.

 

The 'racism' storm was bollocks, the diving stuff was a load of shite too, but this is El Hadji Diouf territory pure and simple. We shouldn't let the media witch hunts of the past blind us to that fact.

 

I'll be honest I've never been that fussed on Suarez despite the fact he's clearly world class. Even though he's among the best players we've had in the last two decades he probably wouldn't even figure in my top 20. At first I thought it was because of what happened with Torres and that I couldn't get carried away with a 'star' player again, but in hindsight I think it's because from his first match when he was pulling faces and throwing his arms in the air at misplaced passes from teammates, he's always made me uneasy. There's a reason Sammy Hyypia is probably my favourite ever LFC player, there's more to this shit than simply being good.

 

EDIT - agree with what Fanchester says about spitting and biting 'seeming' worse. That's what I meant about Diouf. Both are horrible and disgusting.

[Jonjo Baldy]

Fuck all of you and fuck everybody else, Suarez is a legend and that bite is stuff of legends, love the man, love the bite, not only does he bring football entertainment but his character is entertainment, his a genius and all genius have a mental side.

[bossy]

He just needs a proper manager to handle him. Rodgers can't handle him. He is incapable of doing the basic things' date=' let alone man manage a troubled world class football genius like Suarez.[/quote']

 

So it's Rodgers fault Suarez bites players. Fucking hell.

[s(k)aturation]

If you'd have offered Luis a point before the game, he'd have bit your fucking arm off.

 

Indeed, CT.

 

And his hunger certainly can't be questioned.

[chorlton]

If we still have a sense of humour in the ground then i'd be happy to hear the jaws theme given an airing next week. Do it as self effacing before other grounds think of it.

[Jonjo Baldy]

Another thing I love about Suarez is the way he just goes about, he reminds how we used to play as kid, albeit his world class, his a breath of fresh air in the world of bland dictatorial modern professional football. His a street kid and he plays his football like his on the street in world class style, unique player and his now in my top 5 fave footballers.

[Jhinge Machha]

looks like the word has reached tyson. he just followed suarez on twitter.

[Nightcat]

So it's Rodgers fault Suarez bites players. Fucking hell.

 

Yes, because he is shite. Not good tactically, not good in nurturing talent, not good in man management.

 

People pointed out above cases like Ferdinand or Cantona and how United managed to get the best out of them, although they were pricks. They forget, though who managed those players.

 

Suarez is growing frustrated. He is playing for a club which has turned into a midtable mediocrity. His behaviour is simply a reflection of his frustration.

 

Having said all that, I'd pay good money to watch him bite Ayre.
