The Suarez Bite

[sybian]

I am just waiting to see when that cunt up the east lancs decides to jump on the lets burn Suarez bandwagon.

[ngogswilly]

The club have handled this well - took control and dealt with everything quickly.

 

In fairness, definitely seems this way.

 

Good to see so far.

[Major Tom]

DimReaper - Ivanovic clearly made the referee aware of the incident yesterday even showing him his arm at the time and he didnt take any action so isnt this the same as the Defoe incident?

 

The ref needed to view the incident himself, he simply can't take a player's word for it.

 

As idealistic as that idea is, it would open Pandora's box.

[Soleilrouge]

by the way we should immmediately engage the best queens counsel in the land to keep manners on the fa and ensure regard is had to the many relevant precedents here and to ensure due process is followed

 

the likelhood is that ayre will appoint his mate who has done a bit of legal conveyancing in his day

He'll be too busy choking down his bubbly and red wine tonight when they hand the title to him.

The announcement that Louis has been fined by the club with proceeds to be donated to a Hillsborough charity is decisive and right.

 

This time around the Club, Ayre, and Rodgers have not put a foot wrong.

I thought the rules were that if the ref was aware of the incident (which he clearly was) and didnt take any action then the FA couldnt act retrospectively?

 

Also didnt the FA set a president by not taking action against Defoe for the same offence in 2006?

 

Ben Thatcher was yellow-carded for his forearm smash on Mendez, yet the FA still banned him. Perhaps the rules were changed since then, but if not, then it shows that the FA can act (and have acted) even if a ref has given a decision at the time.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

It was absolute madness but like it or not he's the last World class player likely to be seen in a red shirt for a long, long time. They can't make us sell him, despite all the out cry and outrage in the whole world, I hope he stays clearly but think he'll go.

[Ranxerox]

How the fuck do the Red Sox survive with this set of cunts pushing the buttons? Is their MD someone as bad as Ayre? Is it Ayre himself? Has he positioned himself as the global solution to all Executive roles?

 

 

When Henry bought the Red Sox he had the best GM (general manager) in MLB Theo Epstein. GM in baseball is similar to a DOF except that in MLB every club has a GM. He was responsible for their success, they'll be lucky to come close to their highpoint without him. The people in Boston are growing nearly as sour on Henry as LFC fans are. Fact is they don't much about baseball either.

[The Woolster]

Fearing the worst.

 

I think they'll give a year long ban and we'll be forced to sell him

 

If they give him a year ban, then he will have it wherever he goes (same as Barton) so no one will buy him.

The headline on the online BBC football page

 

'Liverpool fine Suarez over bite'

 

[Nightcat]

I've seen everything now. Police visited Ivanovic

Premier League: Police visited Branislav Ivanovic after he was bitten by Luis Suarez | Liverpool News, Fixtures, Results, Transfers | Sky Sports

 

Is that the same police that did nothing for 40 years about the Glorified, Institutionally endorsed BBC Paedophile -Rapist, although several of his hundreds of victims asked for help/action from the police?

[Whelan]

My worry is that for a normal bite I think it would be a 3 match ban, but with those teeth it could be deemed career threatening and deserving of a bigger ban!

 

Just as they did with Ben Thatcher!

As i understand it the difference is that with Defoe, the ref saw the incident, but chose to take no action, with Suarez, the ref saw the aftermath, but not the incident, so it is different.

 

Broadly, although i agree with the priciple that games should not be retrospectively refereed and players should not be punished twice, I do think that, where video evidence is available, refs should have the opportunity to reconsider key decisions brought to them, even if they endorse their original call.

 

Biting is wrong. Biting twice is stupid. Of course Luis should stay, but he will also need to take his punishment- and rightly so.

[Gym Beglin]

Nah, I'm not defending him for that. Fuck off. I'll highlight the hypocrisy in the press, but there's no defending that prick.

 

You're the sort of prick who bayed for Rafa to be sacked I bet. If you just use your fucking brain then you'd see what is going on and how badly the sale of Suarez would affect us. We're talking relegation lad, if it can almost happen to a club like Newcastle with their options then it's really not a leap to see us in a similar position next year without Suarez.

 

What fucks me off about all this is that the unresolved Evra affair comes back to haunt him. The club fucked up, plain and simple. A canny lawyer blows that case to pieces and makes United, Evra and the FA look totally rediculous.

[Kevin D]

We got the type of response a lot have us have previously complained has been lacking, so yes, absolutely, credit to the club. I just had a look at the interview and Ayre was as unequivocal as he's capable of being that Suarez is going nowhere. We've done all we can, until the FA decide what action to take.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

What an absolute whopper you are.

Some credit goes to the new comms director (or whatever the title is). Hired on Thursday, right in the thick of it Sunday. Acting swiftly and, in my opinion, appropriately.

 

Let's see if the FA can act accordingly.

[Anubis]

Quite frankly, we'd be causing ourselves less damage if we sacked Ayre and appointed the Alien from the film Alien, and stapled a tie into it's chest, and taped a fucking mobile to it's head, and took it to a kids party.

 

[sybian]

Cantona was given a 8 month ban for his Kung Fu kick on a spectator, are people on this forum seriously saying what Suarez deserves the same?

[Anubis]

I think the club have dealt with this well, particularly sending out the message that however much little Englander xenephobia is on display, we ain't selling him.

The police just love 'investigating' soft 'crimes', especially those in the media spot light.

[Baltar]

The media hullabaloo is going to result in a ridiculously over-the-top ban. I just know the spineless FA is going to cave into the media's demands to crucify him and hit Luis with a 10 game ban or something equally daft. The club needs to stand firm on this and point out that other players have been guilty of the same crime (Defoe) and all he got was a yellow card. Why should Suarez be treated differently?

[kalasoma]

For the attention of Graham Taylor who finds it 'embarrasing if Suarez is named PFA player of the year... seems to have forgotten Ched Evans (as highlighted by Rob Harris' tweet).

[bouncebrigade]

I am just waiting to see when that cunt up the east lancs decides to jump on the lets burn Suarez bandwagon.

 

He will probably find time tonight during the celebrations for number 20 to have a pop at Luis. As will the bellends in the stand.
