Luis Suarez Bites Chiellini

Recommended Posts

Posted

Its a strange one, I think it's got a lot to do with culture and how he was brought up. I can't remember where I heard/read or saw it, but, places like Uruguay/Brazil, where there is a lot of poor people. The way the kids are brought up, is literally to win, at any costs. Winning could improve their life, they might be able to get a meal, move from the slums.

In England, the kids go and play down the park, finish, go home to their nice house for a roast dinner. It's a massively different culture. Anyone can say, but it's only football, but to kids that have travelled miles from the slums, to play football, with the hope at winning would see their whole life change.

With Suraez, he does go down with no persuasion, he does 'fake' injuries after challenges, He is just trying to win at any cost. That's what he was brought up to do - you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

I don't condole biting, its as disgusting as spiting, but, everyone in England has one view. He needs to be banned for life blah blah - its not right what he's done and he will be dealt with. But I think people need to look at how differently Sureaz would have been raised and it could be a small reason to why he reacts the way he does/has.

So basically you've just wrote what Gordan Strachan said the other day before the Brazil V Cameroon game.

Biting another human being isn't assault?

Not on a football pitch, no. Just the same as stamping, punching or headbutting isn't.

Duncan Ferguson did get sent to prison in Scotland for headbutting someone - so there are exceptions.

You can't enforce a time ban with a delay. lol

If they wanted to do that they should of just given him six months (which is what I think it should have been anyway)

four months is acceptable to me though I suppose.

You can - in rugby any remaining time on the ban at the end of the season is carried over to the next season. That's how it should be here - what is the point in a ban where half of it doesn't matter anyway.

Like when he was banned for biting Ivanović?

Are we still allowed to talk about this? How long are we allowed to talk about it for?

Absolutely not. No other country in the world would talk about a third biting incident by the star player of the second biggest club in their nation. I don't know how anyone can disagree with Diego Lugano that this is a non-story made up by an agenda-driven media.

This is how Brendan Rodgers reacted to the Ivanovic incident.

Three things occur to me about that:

1) Does Rodgers stand by that excuse if he keeps doing it despite Liverpool's supposed psychological help etc

2) It's an excuse that would probably offend me deeply if I was one of the millions of South Americans who don't go around biting people just because they want to win a football match

3) Biting people does not help you win football matches anyway

Agree with the rest but I think there is evidence to suggest it does... Shortly after the Ivanovic incident, Chelsea conceded a late winner at the Kop end and you could certainly argue Italy lost their heads after the nibble on Chiellini. lol

If we're using those specific examples then you have to take into account the 32 (?) games he misses as a result of those two incidents and the decreased likelihood of Liverpool and Uruguay winning those games (I know Liverpool did better without him at the start of last season but clearly they'd much rather have him in the team, top scorer etc etc)

FIFA confirm he can be transferred under the ban.

So he DOES want to force a move away from Liverpool. lol

Well, I think there are more... erm... safe ways of doing so.

Minute silence and a vigil first game of the season.

Cotton T-shirts, Kenny Dalglish and a 'justice for Suarez' campaign already in action.

Don't forget the charity single and newspaper boycott.

"his grandmother, Lila Piriz Da Rosa, said her grandson had been treated like "a dog"."

Couldn't make it up.

I fall to see where in his punishment it says that he will be put down?
