Luis Suarez thread

[Cripps_orig]

No, they lost cos they are shit at penalties. F all to do with Suarez.

Not sure what video you're watching tbh. All the videos I've seen, it's the same. Anyway good to see Suarez isn't a hypocrite. All this handshaking is bs. Why shake hands with someone you don't like? It's hypocritical. Suarez leading the way for the masses.

A winner, does what it takes to win even if its to his own detriment, team player, one of the best strikers around. Can see no legitimate reason why anyone wouldn't want him here.

The first bite was done in a different country under a different football organisation. Should have no bearing to this one. He deserved a ban of course but 10 games?

He should have broken Ivanovics leg, he'd only get 3 games

Oh please don't bring the kids into it. Kids spend most of their time staring into screens and blowing the shit out of everything that moves. I doubt they have much time to pay attention to what Suarez is up to.

Truth. Racism is shit. Bigger truth. People who posture over racism are even bigger shits. If kids have parents that bring them up to think that what Suarez did is okay then those kids have way, way bigger problems. Same fucking kids will be lined up cheering home the troops from the race wars, btw. Why is nobody bollocking those troops or their masters? Lets call Suarez out, I have no problem with that. But not if it means the act can be used to ignore racism that actually causes harm. Everyone should just shut the fuck up if they aren't prepared to properly stand up against racism.

If you say so if you say so, you're right TV has no influence on anyone.

I agree to an extent the parents are to blame, however if you've ever been around kids you'll realise they don't always listen to their parents and that their friends have a huge influence on them.

All racism like this causes harm, if it's OK for someone famous to do it then it must be OK for others, after all everyone see's those famous people do it and thinks it's OK. There's no place for any form of racism in modern society, it still exists sadly but it's no OK for anyone to be racist, not even overpaid, premadonna's who think they can do whatever they want.

they influence kids far less than you believe. this isn't the 1950s. kids, in particular boys, are not as naive as that anymore.

Celebrities influence people, just look at how some people react to soap characters thinking they are the same person in real life. Whatever people think they certainly have influence, not over everyone, but over some and that's enough.

i've seen it in my own children. they aren't led or influenced by celebrity behaviour.

you can always pick out nutbags as the exception to the rule.

You're not getting this. Fine, come down on Suarez like a ton of bricks. But make sure you do the same to real racists too. Don't just ignore them and certainly don't fucking vote for them. Or buy their shit. Definitely don't buy their shit, that's what really hurts professional racists.

No. Penalties are a lottery, a ball heading into the net bu being stopped illegally by a hand isn't, it's blatant cheating. Had he not done it (and it was particularly blatant) Ghana would have knocked Uruguay out.

You make me laugh, that was so deliberate it's untrue.

Because he's a cheat, will get banned for his onfield behaviour and will screw us, that's 3 reasons right there.

So what, so it's OK because it's in a different country? I'd have given him 20, he got off lightly given the racism thing before.

The problem with a tackle is you can't prove if it's a deliberate attempt to hurt someone most of the time, it's not like biting, there's no reason to bite, there is a reason to tackle and not all tackles are accurate.

Who are you talking about here? The FA don't police the country, racists exist in society and they vote for certain parties (who claim not to be racist), I wouldn't vote for them but some do.

Racism is wrong but I don't understand the point you're trying to make, racism isn't seen as acceptable in today's society even if it still exists.

Where did CIB's post go?

Was he banned for comparing this place to RAWK?

I was going to re-word it but couldn't be bothered in the end.

I think I prefer from the sidelines anyway...

So they never copy a goal their favourite player has scored, or never pretend to be their favourite player.

There's different levels of course, lots of people buy clothes worn by certain celebs or copy their style, people in the public eye have influence all over the place, not over everyone but over a certain amount of people.
