Luis Suarez Appreciation Thread

Is biting more or less acceptable than:-

  1. breaking somebody’s skull with an elbow; or
  2. breaking somebody’s nose with a headbutt; or
  3. breaking somebody’s leg with a stamp

It is certainly more unusual. Unusual shouldn’t mean a harsher punishment. The consequences and motivation of an action should determine the punishment.

My view is Luis is fortunate this is under FIFA’s jurisdiction and not the FA. The FA are swayed by the court of public opinion/tabloid outrage. FIFA is the custodian of the beautiful game.

Would lads consider a bite to be a lesser or worse offence than spitting in someone’s face?

Way way worse

depends

Luis - playful nibble - lesser

Tyson - biting a chunk of an ear away - greater

Why does there have to be a scale? Don’t spit on people, don’t bite people, don’t intentionally try to break legs or smash skulls. All bad. All deserve bans.

The reason it is easier to ban someone for biting or spitting is because it is easy to prove. You bit someone. A leg breaking challenge or a clash of heads or an elbow can happen, sometimes by accident, it can be hard to prove intent. If you bit someone, then the intent is there. It has no place in the game, any game. 6 month ban. Fuck him

@chewy louie - don’t ask a question and then rate the answer dumb if the answer isn’t agreeable you fucking spastic.

Your answer was dumb. Of course there has to be a scale. How do you determine the level of punishment if there isn’t?

there has to be a scale when a broken nose or skull gets 7 games/4 games and people are calling for a 24 game ban for a nibble

If you headbutt somebody or swing an elbow it is easy to prove intent
if you go in off two legs at knee height you intend or are reckless as to damage

Way way less

It was not a nibble. It was like a fat limerick lass trying to dive at a bag of chips she hadn’t paid for at the end of a night.

I think the calls for a big ban are based on the fact that it’s the third time the gimp has done this rather than the world hating Liverpool or Luis the rat-faced racist.

I have a friend who is the image of Luis Suarez.

If it’s someone I like - no ban;
If it’s someone I dislike - ban.

The Dunph was fond of a bite alright.

By the world I presume you mean you and a few more obsessed, hateful United fans

No. I mean the fact that the uruguayan media blamed the world media and specifically the english for even commenting on it.

I wonder is there a Uruguyain equivalent of Eddie Keher who is calling for biting to be legalised as it is a mans game

And they are right… what do the English give a fuck? Or a bunch of weirdos in Ireland for that matter…

Alvin? Simon? Theodore?..

Considering @Rocko 's recent denial of your friendship would you expect to be banned if you bit him

Exactly. This matter should be between Uruguay, Italy, FIFA and a suitcase full of cash. Everyone else needs to keep out of it.
