This Weekend's Fixtures & Man Utd vs Aston Villa (20/21/22 Apr).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry was tying his shoelaces? :haha:

Jesus wept. What a professional outfit Citeh are.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Barry was tying his shoelaces? :haha:

Jesus wept. What a professional outfit Citeh are.

A Milan player was doing that just before Smicer scored in Istanbul. He could have easily cut the ball out had he not. I've always thought of him as an unsung hero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

Goal of the Season without question.

[Cripps_orig]

Mert :bow:

Didn't realise it was from a theo free kick as well. Assisting the assisted :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf was larsson doing there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"If Chelsea and Tottenham won their game in hand, Arsenal would be in the weakest position".

:haha:

Fucking hell.

[Cripps_orig]

Chelsea and Tottenham won't both win their games in hand as its against each other.

Good to see Murray doing his homework.

Come back Lineker.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It's surely a long ban, surely. I don't want it to obviously, but even the FA can't fudge this one.

And those puns were terrible.

[Cripps_orig]

Defoe got fuck all for his bite.

Same should happen here

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

But that's only because he was booked for it, so they could hide behind that ridiculous "don't want to re-referee games". Not the case here.

Also, it's Suarez. Everyone hates Suarez.

I think 3 for violent conduct and an extra 2 for it being mental and not even his first offence.

[Cripps_orig]

Maybe the referee saw it and determined not a bookable offence ala McManaman on that Newcastle player.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Maybe. I don't really know how it works tbh. I'd :lol: quite hard if he got off with it though.

[IBK]

Am I the only one who thinks that Suarez is being the pantomime villain who is used to make the modern game look more exciting than it is. He is a stupid fuck, but some of this lynch mob shit is ridiculous. Worse than Cantona? Please. 70's footballers must be bemused.

[Cripps_orig]

Oh he won't.

It's Suarez.

Hope the decision is made ASAP though. He's in my FFL team

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

John Cherry made me laugh more than the others. Not sure why.
I've just realised why I recognised the name and how apt it is; he's a Tory councillor who's just resigned over racist remarks.

[Injury Time]

Maybe. I don't really know how it works tbh. I'd :lol: quite hard if he got off with it though.
FA have reviewed the case, initial punishment has been issued

Possibly but how many games does he go without doing something daft? The wall-to-wall coverage of it on SSN is possibly a bit much but if he didn't constantly give them the material...

[Marc Overmars]

Perfect story for SSN to debut their new graphics and music tbh.

[Power n Glory]

I really have no sympathy for the guy. He’s an absolute cheat and I’m not just talking about the diving. That handball off the line moment against Ghana in the World Cup pissed me off to the core. Just blatant cheating and no remorse over it. I hate seeing that sort of thing in sport. We all know about the racism and now this biting shit. How stupid can a player get. I really don’t like him and have no sympathy. He brings it on himself. His fellow players have tried to back him and get the spotlight off and then he goes and bites another player. Who the fuck does that? I’ve never seen that in football before.

[Cripps_orig]

Jermaine Defoe.

I don't think he's a cheat. He has an attitude to win by any means necessary. An attitude I would love our players to have. I for one think he is brilliant and whilst the biting thing is wrong, it's funny as fuck and he has single handedly kept up the entertainment level in this boring ass premiership season.

[Marc Overmars]

He is as slimey as they come but I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

[Marc Overmars]

The PFA have offered him anger management counselling. :haha:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Am I the only one here who thinks that Suarez asking for his fine and liverpoolnagreeeing to it, to be given to the hills borough charity is just a disgusting pr stunt

[GP]

He is as slimey as they come but I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

Me too.

And I don't get the hate over the world cup thing. He broke the rules and was punished. It's not his fault Ghana bottled the pelanty.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Am I the only one here who thinks that Suarez asking for his fine and liverpoolnagreeeing to it, to be given to the hills borough charity is just a disgusting pr stunt
I don't think Suarez had any say in it.

And giving fines to charity isn't exactly a new thing.

[Ollie the Optimist]

I don't think Suarez had any say in it.

And giving fines to charity isn't exactly a new thing.

Suarez tweeted saying he asked for it to go there I think.


I'm not having a go at giving to charity, but giving to hillsborugh seems to be done to gain favour with people, what he should have done is ask ivanoic which charity to give to IMO

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Suarez tweeted saying he asked for it to go there I think.

As a club fine it has nothing to do with Ivanovic. Any fine by the FA can bring him in to it. We'll have told him where the fine would go, I'm sure of that, he gets to say it was him to make him look a little bit sane. In any case it's an aside.

If we get a good offer for him I think we'll sell, but I hope we don't just accept any old offer just to get rid of him. He needs some sort of electro shock therapy though.

[Grebbo]

I don't know what all the fuss is about tbh. He's done it before, he'll probably do it again. He's a brain dead footballer who's also a street rat. But he's a bloody good player.

I think calling a player a nigger was far worse.

[Grebbo]

If we get a good offer for him I think we'll sell, but I hope we don't just accept any old offer just to get rid of him. He needs some sort of electro shock therapy though.

Never. He's the only world class player you've got and you'll never be able to attract a player as good as him.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Never. He's the only world class player you've got and you'll never be able to attract a player as good as him.

Every player has his price. We get a stratospheric offer, he's off. And as good as he is, there comes a point where he drags the club through the mud one too many times. Amazingly we're probably not there yet. And there will come a point when he just becomes a liability.

I'm not saying we should sell him, just what I think could (and will eventually) happen. I've long since accepted he's a crazy bastard. A crazy bastard that sometimes crosses the line.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think it's in Liverpool's best interests to sell him really. (unless it's to us. :coffee:)

Not being in Europe next season will probably affect the calibre of players you can bring in, and you'd really need some quality to replace a player of his ability.

He's an idiot but it's worth trying to sort him out in-house, because he's far too important.

[Cripps_orig]

They have a £35m striker to come in should Suarez be sold.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Thought the incident was funny as fuck.

Suarez. :bow:

Maverick who is single handedly keeping entertainment into what is fast morphing into a dull, uneventful sport.

Still our bigggest must get.

[GP]

He didn't even draw blood. Complete non-issue.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

He didn't even draw blood. Complete non-issue.

Which given the size of his teeth, is a pretty poor effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ivanovic fended him off before he was torn limb from limb.

[Grebbo]

I liked the bite because it was against Chelsea and Rafa.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez charged with vampirism.

Stake to the heart as punishment.

Well alright violent conduct.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And the FA also say 3 games would be insufficient.

:faint:

[Marc Overmars]

Between 5-10 games I would have thought.

[GP]

Ridiculous. A fine would be sufficient.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monday Night Football is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's Chamberlain talking about? We won the league in 03/04 with four games to spare, unless he means purely by date which is a bit silly.

[GP]

Didn't we have 4 to spare in 97/98 as well?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two to spare I think. Lost them both. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Giggs in midfield. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Arsenal 13.

Old Man Giggs 13.

What a freak.

[IBK]

Aye - but there are potential leg breaking tackles that don't get a fraction of the coverage. Don't get me wrong - I don't condone Suarez, but what I would like to see is every example of 'dangerous' play dealt with. Its not - yet something like Suarez's offence - which is childish rather than dangerous - is over-analysed, IMO.

You've got a point there, tbf. It's nowhere near the worst thing I've seen on a pitch, not by a long way.

Still needs a slap though.

[IBK]

Ridiculous. A fine would be sufficient.

Yes - Ivanovic hasn't even complained, FFS. The fact that Suarez might be banned for far longer than Dan Smith was, for example, is nuts!

[IBK]

Oh yes - I'll line up to slap the fuck!

Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Kagawa, van Persie.
Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Hernandez, Nani, Welbeck, Cleverley, Buttner.

Aston Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke.
Subs: Given, Clark, El Ahmadi, Bent, Holman, Sylla, Bowery.

Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire)

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh yes - I'll line up to slap the fuck!

I'll pencil you in for June 2016 then...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're the third best counter-attacking team in the league. :lol:

[IBK]

I'll pencil you in for June 2016 then...

Thought you could pull some strings...?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Knowing our luck, Villa might pub their way to a draw and then the manc filth will win it on our patch.

Come on RvC you Judas ****. :pray:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It's a bloody long list. Unfortunately there are some important people on it too, you're just before the Dalai Lama.

A couple of weeks ago you were saying that the McManaman challenge was getting a lot more coverage than say the Eduardo one. :lol:

We aren't talking about dangerous play here, we're talking about violent conduct. And unquestionably it is. It's such a visceral act and there's no way something like that can be done accidentally or the old favourite 'without intent'. That's a big part of why bad challenges are routinely forgotten about say a couple of days after it and it's not like I agree with it because I have spent many a time lamenting how those incidents are represented but that'll be the reason for why it is getting 'more coverage'.

The skin wasn't designed to cope with getting a good chomp, I wouldn't say it's exactly dangerous but of course with something like that there is always the risk of infection. To Suarez, not just Ivanovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea looked like Justin Bieber warming up there.

I was? :unsure:

The only reason that Suarez's pathetic behaviour is getting max coverage is because its so unusual. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished, I asking for a bit of reason. A leg breaking tackle is more serious, IMO than a bite. Maybe a bite is more despicable than a player who cares nothing for an ex-player's safety, but IMO both should be punished equally.

Yup.

Of course it's more serious but the leg being broken is also rare and thus citing it as a counterpoint is almost getting to a strawman. I agree that those challenges should have a stricter punishment though but usually those kind of challenges are given red cards and thus already carry a punishment. This wasn't seen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Villa, RVP.

:rolleyes:

[Maestro]

suarez is doing everything he can to leave Liverpool

rvc ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So nearly 2-0.

Villa. :(

[Rors]

Oh for the love of....

[Özil's Panoramic View]

NZogbia. :haha:

Proper pubber.

[Maestro]

rvc has well n' truly shown up GHEL rooney this season

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit too much on that from Weimann, not a bad ball though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vlaar just about denies Kagawa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafael smacks the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia. :haha:

Terrible control.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benteke puts it over! Agh.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Bloody hell Benteke. :doh:

Dreadful miss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Where would they be without..." is quickly ascending the most annoying football phrases ladder.

Man Utd 2-0 Villa, RVP volley. :sick:

[Rors]

As a great man would say, "What a load of old cock" :(

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Well fuck me.

RvC. :bow:

What a strike, what a finish, what goal.

Offside though.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

who was it that was saying van persie is overrated? :lol:

and that he wont replicate last season :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP a masterstroke? Well in actually getting him yes but I wouldn't say thinking of getting him was the sign of genius.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Carrick. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That second goal was.... quite good.


So, Rors, who do you recommend we try and nab? We'll pay a premium, obviously.

Seeing Whiskey Nose's celebration on that RvC 2nd goal has only served to re-ignite my loathing for Wenger, tbh.

It re-ignite's my hatred for the **** RVC. We couldn't have kept him.

Evra booked.

Send him off!

Give Ferguson credit, he knows how to get one over Wenger....in this case he managed to get him to sell his best player to him. Last time he convinced him to sign his worst player.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

It re-ignite's my hatred for the rapist ****. How couldn't have kept him.

I detest the **** as well, but I still think he would have stayed had Wenger assured him and further go on to stick to his word that he was going to provide him with proper re-inforcement in order to mount a proper challenge.

[GP]

No, his mind was made up with his 'statement for the fans'

There was no way he could stay after that.

He's a ****, that's it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weimann. :haha:

[Özim]

Precisely, if Wenger had shown any sort of willingness to improve the team with quality we'd have had a good chance of holding onto him. But no Wenger had to be Wenger and stick to his totally flawed principles, that have failed time and time again thus giving us no chance.

The minute he talked to Wenger and heard the same BS he's come out with in the last 7 years, he thought forget this, this guy is loopy.

Hattrick RVP.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on Wednesday, Parry.

Man Utd 3-0 Villa, RVP hat-trick.

[Özim]

RVP, what a player, what a buy...signing of the season for sure.

[Maestro]

would have given rvc away on a free to any foreign team that wanted him

the fans don't have to suffer this, never not in a lifetime would I have sold to mancs whatever the price end of!

[Özim]

Yup and it would have saved us seeing Giroud every week as well. Kill two birds with one stone.

He's a ****, that's it.

Oh fuck.

RvC hat-trick just I'm about to reply.

Anyway, whilst you do have a point, his statement only came after his meeting with Wenger and Gazidis. I'm sure everyone would have laid out what they had brought on the table.

Plus the **** PHW had try to sully the lads character by announcing that he was making a mercenary move to Citeh.

RvC statement was more reactive and defensive than anything else.

Also, he punted right when he announced that the club was not heading in the direction he fancied.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pete the Gunner, via text: "Arsenal fans are in tears, the heartbreak is unbearable. Van Persie's goal is the equivalent of seeing a woman you loved hand in hand with a man better than you."

at least rvp had a choice to leave we the fans don't, but we didn't need it rubbed in by selling to manc filth and red nose

Very true and I'm pretty sure he's not regretting it right now, if he'd stayed he'd be fighting for a 4th place trophy again!

The fact is he's been proved right in every way and we're suffering to the maximum thanks to our decision to sell him to an English club.

[Özim]

This.
He made his mind up after talking to Wenger and co, that was clear.

They knew they weren't going to hold onto him of course as they were going to change f*ck all as usual. Why would any top player want to stick around when every season is a repeat of the last with no hope of success?

[Maestro]

This.

even if that's the case, like I said never would have sold to the mancs. £5m to anyone on the continent

TBF he's not Nostradamus. We hate it because we know deep down that he'd have wasted his career with us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agbonlahor turns, shoots, wide.

[GP]

TBF he's not Nostradamus. We hate it because we know deep down that he'd have wasted his career with us.

If you think a career with The Arsenal is a career wasted why bother supporting?

In the history of getting one over someone, I don't think RVC getting one over us can be topped.

Our boy done good.

[GP]

even if that's the case, like I said never would have sold to the mancs. £5m to anyone on the continent

That doesn't work. You can't force him to sign someone he doesn't want to go.

[Özim]

TBF he's not Nostradamus. We hate it because we know deep down that he'd have wasted his career with us.
That's true and that's the problem isn't it, everyone knows we're not going to try and change things and challenge, there's just no incentive for players to stay anymore.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

TBF he's not Nostradamus. We hate it because we know deep down that he'd have wasted his career with us.

Need not be Nostradamus to call it correctly where we're heading.

The trend over several seasons and an unwillingness to change our approach make it all too easy forecast how we'll fare each season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vlaar. :haha:

One of way of stopping the game from finishing I suppose.

Two added minutes.

[Özim]

Will they play "We are the champions" tonight I wonder?

If they do we can think back to the days when we played the song and how glorious it felt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How have the Spuds coped with seeing Carrick winning shit loads? RVP winning the title doesn't feel very good.

[Power n Glory]

I've got no hate for the guy. He was with us for 8 years and that was enough time to build a solid team and win some silverware. If we'd had spent some money on decent players when he was scoring like a mad man, we'd have lifted a trophy.

Can't ask a player to sacrifice his career and go without silverware for a club and manager that won't sacrifice a bit of money in aid of a title challenge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 HT. Miracle of Istanbul for Villa in the second half I reckon.

fine robin, you can sit on the bench for the under 18's team and wait for your move to mancs. if he was offered for free i'm sure he would rather have opted to go to an illustrious club abroad than sitting on a bench for our youth team

that's just how strongly I feel, not thinking with my cheque book/bank balance on this one

[Maestro]

a lot worse for our case with rvp because he's the very best in the business in this league at least. carrick is good but not all that in my opinion, the hurt is not the same

Man City did something similar to Tevez and he came crawling back in the end. No top player will want to sit on the sidelines for a whole season, if Barca or Real had been interested he'd have gone there....had he been free I'm pretty sure they would have been.

[Rors]

“If Villa hadn’t conceded three goals, they’d still be in this game”. Thanks Schhteve....

[Özil's Panoramic View]

RvC's 3 goals were all offside. :haha:

Valencia was offside for the 1st and RvC was offside for the other two.

Officiating. :rose:

It's done. No point in crying over this shit all year long. He's won his silverware and proven his point. No point in being bitter, just have to hope lessons are learned cause I'm sure we'll cross this bridge again soon.

Podolski could turn into a goal machine, Cazorla could turn on the magic, Walcott could finally find some bloody consistency, Ox could get more games and turn into a star...who knows. The one thing we don't want is when this team finally start to gel and certain players finally start to show promise, whoever it maybe, we don't bend over and take it like we've done over the last 5 years!

RvP wins the title by himself. Shows what we could have done if only we'd put a few decent players around him. All inevitable. Utd will get his fee back this year in shirt sales alone.

Man Utd - proper football team.

Arsenal - fucking building society.

The rats who ran with £500mill - fuck you.

The rat who's in for the next big pay day - fuck you.

The bloated vermin queuing patiently - fuck you.

But RvP? You can't deny what the guy has done. That's the genuine article, real quality not the pretend shit that gets blown up by poxy pundits and the media. Not Theo fucking give me £100K and I'll do fuck all in return Walcott. Or Nick I'm worth a million a week but couldn't score to save my life Bendtner.

It used to be when somebody left us they went down hill. Now they are leaving and winning.

Was reading the Red Cafe thread last night remembering what it was like to win something. Quite a few on there assume Wilshere will be arriving in due course. Some doubt it because they see Jack as committed to Arsenal. None mention the club itself as an obstacle, it's just assumed we'll sell these days. That's what we do, the rep is firmly established.

[GP]

If Jack comes out in public and calls his teammates and manager ****s, and that he wants to go to Utd, then he'll go. There wouldn't be any way to stop it. Players have too much power.

The point is we have two billionaires at our place and neither of the ****s will dip in their wallet, not to splash like the chavs but just to repair the damage done over the last seasons. Yes RvP wanted to go, but might that have been different if he had seen those tight fisted bastards opening their wallet just a crack? We've been short 2-3 quality players for years. We could have won something with just a small amount of outward (rather than inward) investment. But they wouldn't do it. So it's true to say the player has power but our club has made the decision very easy for the players that have left.

On years past an offside goal or dodgy Rooney penalty might have made a big difference. This year Utd have walked it. There's nothing really to complain about, nobody else came close and if they weren't winning it against Villa they were winning it at our place so I'm pretty happy with those offside goals. Enough pain in this season already.

I agree that they had already romped to the title, and I much prefer them winning it at Villa than on our patch. But still, someone could have at least whispered something.

Pretty much. If I were RvP and had spent all season carrying a team, dragging them into the top 4, and then I spoke to the manager about his plans to push us on and wasn't impressed with what I heard then I'd probably think "sod this". Especially if I could have my pick of clubs to go to all of whom were waving massive cheques in front of me. I don't believe he just left for money, he could have gone to City and earned more than he does although at that level it makes next to no difference. IMO he left to join a club were interested in competing. Arsenal clearly aren't. You don't sell your captain and best player to the team who finished directly above you if you're serious about competing with them. The PL medal soon to be hanging round his neck rather vindicates his decision.

[Marc Overmars]

In a way I respect the fact he went to a proper club rather than a bunch of chancers like City.

I think it's an agenda against Liverpool FC. I know every fan of every club will say it, but in this instance, I think Suarez and Liverpool have a case to feel aggrieved.

Why?

There was a precedent set by Jermaine Defoe biting Javier Mascherano in 2006. Martin Jol laughed it off as "comical" at the time. Pardew, the West Ham manager at the time, probably couldn't be bothered to comment.

Why is it that such an incident 7 years later (and let's face it, biting is biting. There isn't really much difference between the scenarios) is played out over and over again on a 24 hour sports TV channel? Is it just because of his reputation? In which case, it's still wrong to continue this 'trial by television' based on the aforementioned precedent.

Defoe had been booked. Suarez has this on top of a million other incidents in his career including a biting offence which he received a seven game ban for in the Netherlands. Nothing to do with it being Liverpool, at all. It might have everything to do with him not being English but we know all that anyway.

He could always just not do stupid things, then there wouldn't be any coverage needed.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

As much as the media reaction is a bit 'moral highground', shockingly the Daily Mail leading the charge and as much as I do think there is something of a crusade against Suarez dating back to the Ghana handball, as with any incident like this he's brought in on himself. And not for the first time. Downing Street wading in and feral children blaming him for being thuggish is ridiculous, that is definitely true.

He was doing quite well staying relatively out of the lime light, letting his football tell the story and there were signs at least some of the press was starting to turn. Not totally, but there were signs of praise and a desire to move on. Now with one stupid, ridiculous act he's undone all of that and it's going to be even harder, nay impossible, for him to recover any sort of reputation here. Even RAWKites are annoyed with him this time, which says a lot.

As far as I'm concerned he'll serve his punishment and that'll be that. But once again he owes the club and his teammates as once again he is going to be banned for a significant period of time and he can't keep on doing that because at some point our patience will run out. As for "oh well he's trying to force a move", it's a stupid way of doing it, and if it's a pre-planned attempt to leave then he obviously isn't. On the plus side, a break could do him good since he will most likely be playing yet another summer in the Confed Cup, and it will force us to try out some other options which may help us in the long run.

The rules with regards to retrospective action do need changing, but it's not the first time that's been said. And it won't be the last. Suarez' defence that Defoe got off with it won't stand up and he'll get a hefty ban.

[Grebbo]

Just ban him until end of season and be done with it. Bored of this already.

[IBK]

If you think a career with The Arsenal is a career wasted why bother supporting?

I support Arsenal, and despise Van Persie for the way he left; his weasel words and the way he has helped Manure win the title. But if you equate a wasted career for a world class player with not winning stuff, then its pretty obvious that he'd have wasted his career by staying with us. He had a better season with us last season than he has had this season - and look where we finished in all comps. Comparing 2013 Arsenal with Manure in terms of sheer desire and ability to win things is like comparing a Citroen with a Ferrari.

The guy is a prick, but the hysteria in the press about this incident is IMO unbelievable...and as for the Prime Minister getting involved - well words fail me!

Of course it's unbelievable - it's in the mainstream media. This is what makes me laugh. We rely on the same guys for news on world events. Of course they have a totally different approach to journalism when it comes to "serious" stuff, right? WMD reports copied off the Internet and a million people dead?

10 games seems very very harsh. I thought it'd be about 4 -5 games. It was violent, but I've seen playings engage in actual fist fighting during games have less severe sentences.

I'm wondering whether it was extra because of his history of controversy? I mean if this was his only controversial incident in his playing career would he have received the same length of ban? I just can't see it - I think his history in particular doing the exact same thing at Ajax played a part here.


In any case this isn't going help RAWK get over their, "It's a conspiracy", "The FA hate us" mentality.

[Marc Overmars]

His past would have certainly been taken into account, they've made an example out of him.

No this how it works.

A bite is 3 games
A punch is also 3 games

If the bite is prolongued however, you get 3 games for each second of the bite and then add 1 on top of that for the action itself.
If you punch someone and break something you get 3 times the punishment plus 1 on top for the action, but you also get credit for a good shot and thus take 1 away for accuracy.

Kungfu kicks are 8 months.


Jeez, it's not rocket science :rolleyes:

[Özim]

On a serious note, Suarez is a pr*ck and who cares if he gets a big ban...he's always getting himself in trouble by doing dodgy things, barely a game goes by where he doesn't kick or elbow someone.

He's done it before and got a long ban and yet is too thick to realise that if he does it again another ban will come his way, got no sympathy for the guy.

Evra's arm joke the other day was great though :lol:

[Grebbo]

I don't think a 10 game ban is OTT tbh.

The last 4 games of this season are irrelevant as they mean nothing to Liverpool so for me they don't really count as much of a punishment to LFC. I suppose Suaraz missing out on the golden boot is a punishment but he was never going to win that anyway seeing as RVP is playing Arsenal next weekend.

So Suarez really only misses 5 games of competitive, meaningful matches at the beginning of next season.

That's fair enough.

Suarez is nuts. He's bitten a fellow player not once but twice. He's mental and needs to be punished.

[Grebbo]

His past would have certainly been taken into account....

And so it should. Repeat offenders should be more severely punished just like repeat criminals are.

True. It's amazing they don't have it written in stone that 'biting is a x match ban'. Maybe in preparation for Suarez's comeback, they should write down a rule for stabbing someone in the eye and the other 7 million mental acts he's likely to do.

Suarez has to sort his life out. He's mentally deranged and if he keeps doing stupid stuff, keep banning him for long periods. How many times does he need to keep doing this sort of shit. Fucking idiot.

The FA couldn't have escaped any criticism for this and it's bringing up a bunch of stuff that happened before. It's like Wenger making a good substitution and then getting hammered because of the 30,000 shit ones he made in the last 15 years. Arseblog says that nobody can complain about the length of the ban, and that's exactly right. The focus should be on Suarez, not the FA who got it right this time.

The FA couldn't have escaped any criticism for this and it's bringing up a bunch of stuff that happened before. It's like Wenger making a good substitution and then getting hammered because of the 30,000 shit ones he made in the last 15 years. Arseblog says that nobody can complain about the length of the ban, and that's exactly right. The focus should be on Suarez, not the FA who got it right this time. If Suarez and Liverpool feel it's unfair - here's an idea...don't bite someone. That might solve their problem.

I get the point that you are making, but the FA has got itself into a right mess with its rule on reviewing incidents that the ref has apparently seen. My opinion (and I understand if people feel otherwise) is that genuinely dangerous incidents are treated more leniently than stuff like this. In terms of Suarez's ban, I think the length of the ban is OTT, and that a 12 match ban, with 6 suspended would have been more appropriate.

The analogy with Wenger is wrong, because it is perfectly fair to look for consistency in any judicial process. Just like if you are judging a manager's performance over a period of time, it would be fair to look at both his good and bad substitute decisions.
