Flex - You say a year, I say 6 months. Compromise of 18 months?

Liverpool will be hoping that this means he stays now, and they'll argue that because it happened on international duty it's nothing to do with them.

I know I'm a *little* bit biased about this, but this being his third biting offence I'm hoping he's not playing any football for the next 6 months at least.

6 months starting now wouldn't surprise me. He would be back playing on boxing day, very festive.

Needs to be longer.

Liverpool will be fighting for this to not involve them at all.

I am too biased against the scousers to know whether he really should be banned from all football or whether this should be limited to internationals.

Partly I think that three biting offences in three different competitions do require a complete ban from football. Theoretically the Ajax ban didn't influence the ban at Liverpool because they were different FAs. But I really don't know whether that's my anti-scouse bias that leads me to that way of thinking. I know if Oscar stamped on someone's head during the World Cup I'd expect his ban to stay in the WC and have nothing to do with us.

TBH I wanted CFC to buy him last season because I figured he'd never repeat any of this. He has kept his nose really clean last season but for him to do this now just shows he's seriously not right in the head.

I think perhaps Chiellini is poisonous looking at the way Suarez went down after biting him.
The cheating slimeball.

After his ban is finished he should be made to wear a gum shield...or remove those front teeth.

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Tue Jun 24, 2014 7:59 pm  

He'll be banned for 12 internationals at the most

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Tue Jun 24, 2014 8:01 pm  

Comments on the Liverpool Echo article seem to think the bitemark is photoshopped, so, he's innocent

Are the quotes being attributed to Luis Suarez real? If so, ridiculous.

Luis Suarez wrote:

These things happen in the box. We were in contact, chest against shoulder, and I got a knock to the eye.

That is worse than anything Wenger would come out with. But not quite as bad as Diego Lugano, who should also be banned for his comments alone.

Diego Lugano wrote:

The worst of everything is the attitude of Chiellini. He’s a great player with an enormous status, but it doesn’t correspond with Italian football as sportsmen leaving the field, crying and appealing against a rival. As a man, he disappointed me totally. I had him as a reference point. You need to show me what happened because I didn’t see anything. Did you see it today or did you see what happened in other years? You couldn’t have seen it today because nothing happened.

I found Chiellini's interesting. He's calling FIFA out and putting ref under some pressure too.

Chiellini wrote:

Suarez is a sneak and he gets away with it because FIFA want their stars to play in the World Cup. I’d love to see if they have the courage to use video evidence against him. The referee saw the bite mark too, but he did nothing about it.
