I am a football fan and junior coach. I watched it, open mouthed, on Match of the day, last night.

WTF was going through his mind to even contemplate doing something like this?

Afterwards, I switched over to Sky Sports to watch a bit of Spanish Football - Seville vs Athletico Madrid - it was embarrassing. To see grown men behaving like this was shameful. Diego Costa, in particular, was diving all over the place and pretending to be injured in an attempt to blatantly cheat the ref into getting an opposition player sent off. I know we see play acting in the English league, but this was another level altogether.

I coach the young lads in my village at football, and even at 6 and 7 years old, this type of behaviour is already on display. So far, I've had to pull them up for arguing with (shouting at!!) the referee and play-acting. I gave my own Son the hair-dryer treatment for spitting. The response to all of my bollockings was "they do it on the telly!" 🙄

So, this coming Saturday, do I issue gumshields and kevlar shirts?

FFS footballers, get a grip. [i]It is[/i] a beautiful game, but you're ruining it.

As much as I love the game, the behaviour of the players is driving me away. Thank god next year I'll be able to watch some rugby instead!

I think we need to take a broader view on this matter.

I mean, he's Uruguayan and they do have a cultural history of this sort of thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayan_Air_Force_Flight_571

Yes, ALL of them.

Kids get taught to cheat in the same way as the "professionals" do by some junior team coaches.

I would like to think you are wrong, but I suspect you're not.

I will not allow it at my club and, fortunately, the parents all agree with me. I didn't grow up playing football, but went to a rugby school form the age of 11 to 18. I am trying to instil the same respect for the game and the officials as I was taught.

He should get the longest ban allowed - 6 month minimum. Liverpool should sell him. Will that happen, I doubt it look at Carlos "he will never play for City again" Teves

Players contracts should include a clause where gross misconduct such as this means their past wages can be reclaimed,mas it stands all the risk is on the club who stand to loose millions in player value

I've always liked it when someone goes down as if they've been shot, lies in agony for the 10 seconds it takes for the ref to make the call, then leaps up and takes their own penalty/free kick. Way I see it is, if you fake the injury and get caught, there should be large men with sticks on hand to give you the injury you so clearly desired.

He's always been a nasty, cheating, obnoxious, little racist scrote

Well you should know!

These things always divide along the same lines. As a Liverpool supporter his behaviour was disgraceful and I would be happy if he didnt play again until next season.
Criticising Rogers for not commenting immediately after the game is rubbish, at least he talks to the media after it doesnt go his way!

Binners if anybody else made your comments it may have been justified but given you support a team that didnt even sack a player that assaulted a fan during a game or deliberately broke another players leg ending his career I find it just a little bit rich!

No supporter of Suarez or even football very much now and would rather watch RU but Suarez is a product of football and almost every team in the premiership has at least one player who will dive and cheat at every opportunity.

Also note that after the photograph of Defoe biting mascherano it never got a mention! Defoe got a Yellow card

He should get the longest ban allowed - 6 month minimum

So you dont have to worry about facing him? 🙄

OOOOOOOOOOO. Get her!

Also note that after the photograph of Defoe biting mascherano it never got a mention! Defoe got a Yellow card

Because the ref, like yesterday, didn't see it. At least he got a yellow. Suarez got nothing and then stayed on to score. Or did you miss that bit? Not often I feel sorry for Chelsea, but they were robbed by Suarez's cheating

But people view it more harshly, because Suarez has plenty of form, doesn't he? This is just the latest in a long line of offences, isn't it? But don't let that get in the way of the ever-so-predictable scouse persecution complex 🙄

And for the record... there's no way I'd defend Roy Keane either. In fact I think he's a proper nasty piece of work too! And comparing Suarez to Cantona? Yeah.... right!

It was just a nip! 6 game ban is plenty. Good to see Ivanovic getting on with it rather than being a drama queen. What a first goal though!

It was just a nip!

Stop trying to excuse the inexcusable. Biting is a disgusting act.

Also note that after the photograph of Defoe biting mascherano it never got a mention! Defoe got a Yellow card

If an incident is seen & dealt with by the referee during the game then its considered dealt with & the FA are unable to take any retrospective action, ergo why Defoe only got a yellow. At least thats how I think it works.

The FA is half the problem with the state of the game - they still think its jumpers for goalposts & oranges at halt-time!

If I got stressed with someone in a work meeting and lent over and bit a chunk out of their arm I'd expect to be out of a job and probably up for assault. I don't see why this case should be treated any differently.

To the OP; he's not fit to lace an RL player's boots. Footballers are the biggest bunch of objectional sports people going. Should be banned for life. End of.

Seems it's far more common in rugby (maybe union rather than league) but they don't seem to be issued with life bans. And they seem to make a proper go of it rather than Suarez did which seemed more like a little nibble than a full on chomp.

I thought Rodgers did ok after the game. Interviwed straight after he may not have seen it and said he would look at it first before commenting further. LFC have since fined him.

LFC have since fined him.

Fined who, Rogers? Suarez?

Has this guy killed anyone by driving his Ferrari at 150mph past a primary school only to get off with it thanks to some high profile slime ball solicitor who specialises in this field?

I thought that was a rite of passage for premiership footballers.

Suarez of course freddyg!

Okay, calm down, calm down. You were talking about Rogers, hence my surprise. 😀

Okay, calm down, calm down.

(Had to be done!)

CFH - you beat me to it, I was too slow finding the image 😆

So liverpool have not banned him then but fined him - that sure sends out the right message 😕

TBh I feel sorry for Liverpool - he is a great player and the only one [ gerrad is getting on a bit] in the squad so they have to be nice to him lest he leaves and then they would be in the mire

Shame really all round

Seems it's far more common in rugby (maybe union rather than league) but they don't seem to be issued with life bans. And they seem to make a proper go of it rather than Suarez did which seemed more like a little nibble than a full on chomp.

And the bans reflect the severity and disgusting nature of the incidents I believe. Doesn't detract from the fact he's a horrible, nasty individual

He was lucky Terry wasn't playing.

Imagine the sex diseases he would have caught if he'd taken a bite out of him?

Good grief there's some self righteous tosh spouted on here.

Perez ran into Button at 200kph, life ban? I think the outcome could have been more severe than a lovebite.

Joey Barton beat the crap out of a teenager in the street - life ban?

O'Driscol got spear tackled by two All Blacks - life ban?

Suarez deserves a few game ban because he behaved like a thug, or more importantly got caught. That's perfectly sufficient. No injury and Ivanovic isn't interested in pressing charges. I know there's a load of football haters on here but do you seriously think Suarez doesn't get kicked, elbowed and abused every game he plays. Occasionally he's going to snap, I very much doubt he planned on biting someone that day...

Cantona was immediately banned by Utd for 4 months and fined, the FA then added another 4 months and fined him some more. Then he was arrested by the police and convicted of assault and sent to jail for 2 weeks (changed to 120 hours community service on appeal).

I’d love than to happen suarez

As for Keane – it was only after he left Utd that he admitted in his autobiography he’d deliberately gone to ruin Haangeland, as it was Haangeland played the game against Fulham the following week and other games the next season. Oh, and it was his other knee that ended his career.

Typical mawkish scouser – blind to their own faults and blame everyone else eh?

Do you think we'll get to see the t-shirts again, next game?

With him being unfairly persecuted like last time, and all that. I thought they were an extremely well thought through gesture, that were generally well received 😆

If one person comes out of this with some credit it must be Ivanovic. Relatively muted and restrained reaction to being bitten IMO.

But there is a lot of extraordinary clap-trap coming after what is essentially an example of childish assault (if that is not too much of an oxymoron). Has a great, global institution (sic) been tarnished in the way its alumni suggest in their faux-sincerity acts on tv? Hardly. This same institution, [u]along with its peers,[/u] routinely tolerates assault, cheating, disrespect for officials, and foul and abusive chanting from its supporters without comment or sanction. And one bloke behaves like a silly, aggressive child and somehow the integrity of institution/"great club" is called into question.

Yes Suarez behaved like a **** and deserves due punishment but really Liverpool and others and FA need to look in the mirror occasionally! The is a lot more rotten at the core than this incident.

He's a nasty, cynical, blatant little turd of a man.

It's difficult to think of another area of life in which he would be tolerated. But in the 'player and agent hold all the cards' world of professional football with its win at all costs culture he has found a niche.

Rodgers can't do anything without the backing of the club, the club will lose out massively if they really take strong action. Suarez holds all the cards and he knows it. No one is going to make a serious stand.

Trying to take some kind of sanctimonious moral high ground while making nasty generalisations about scousers. Hmm.....

@saccades

I said neither where sacked. Where they?

I don't care about football even less about Suarez the whole sport is rotten. My point is that "where you stand depends on where you sit" and the most vocal on here are those with allegiance to other clubs wanting draconian and disproportionate punishments for others whilst holding their own teams to different standards.

I am a a ouster and my concern is not that he should be hung drawn and quartered but that those wanting it will happily see their own players punch. Kick and cheat and ignore it. Clean the game up by all means and start with Suarez if you want but I am sure you will be queuing to buy him.

Think of it like we used to about Ronnie. All that diving and what-have-you. We all knew he was a preening idiot. We just refused to say so, in fact we defended him relentlessly*, as that generally tended to annoy people even more. Which is always a good thing IMHO

And Suarez, just like Ronnie, will be at Real next season. For a lot less than he would have cost this time yesterday, due to being a complete tool. So... just give it a few weeks and you'll be able to hate the classless little scrote too, just like the rest of us 😉

You'll be reet when he goes anyway. You'll just have to get your £35 million pound striker back

* It is actually easier to defend him when he's helping you to actually win stuff, but you wouldn't be familiar with that 😆

He assaulted someone, it was seen by thousands of people, could he have been arrested and charged? If we did the same to someone on the street with the police present do you think we'd have been taken to on side and been spoken/warned/arrested/smacked about a bit (he is a foreigner). He could be carrying rabies, surely he could been sent to his basket.

Grum – I’m going to presume you don’t actually know the definition of sanctimonious. Once you do you might be able to construct a sentence that works instead of the clichéd mess you posted.

@Surfer I’m not sure how UTD are supposed to have sacked Keane, when it was only AFTER he had left utd he admitted the tackle was deliberate in his book. At the time he was banned for 3 games and fined, he was then fined again and banned some more by the FA (5 games rings a bell?) after the admission. How are Utd supposed to sack a man no longer in their employ?

I said I’d love the same that happened to cantona to be applied to suarez, but that was it, so please stop trying to make me out as something I’m not.

You’re the first poster in the thread going on about sacking… obviously a sub-conscious thought coming out?

At the time with Cantona I was stunned he wasn’t banned for life. We all know the FA are about as consistent as a 3 year old and are driven by whatever is in the media spotlight but it will be interesting to see how they set any punishment (if they/sky think it’s worth punishment) seeing as he has form for this kind of incident (7 game ban in Holland) and has an additional recent disciplinary (8 games ban for a racism).

At least the PR person at LFC appears to be earning their cash this time.

the bloke doesn't need a ban or a fine to stop him acting like this, he needs professional help.

I think we have more in common than seperates us however anyone who needed to wait for the autobiography to see Keanes intent is deluded. I wont link to the youtube video but I think most right minded people would think it was one of the most vindictive and cynical tackles ever.

BTW You dont sack players only when they admit it in their autobiography

Oh, and it was his other knee that ended his career.

Haaland claimed this injury was a direct result of Keanes tackle.

Thats by the by a bunch of horrible scrotes the lot of them just just lets not ignore some and criticise others,

For "sanctimonious " read above. 🙂

@Surfer

I’m not sure if we are both trying to sing the same hymn or not. I think we both agree that football is full of cheats and that there are hundreds of examples of players not playing in a sporting way. In this case as with the cantona/keane examples you brought up – the club will not want to lose a prized asset, but will be weighing up the pros and cons of keeping a player when that player keeps getting themselves banned for stuff other than regular tackles/play etc (ie drugs/racism/biting) and possibly losing them sponsors.

From a clubs point of view there is wriggle room when the player says it was heat of the moment/accident for whatever an event and I’m sure they will take full advantage of that to their aims. Until keanes admission in the book that it was deliberate the club gave him the benefit of doubt (which was also in their best interests) but remember that the FA only banned him for 3 games where they had opportunity for more. Hindsight is a brilliant thing though.

I’m trying to think of a relevant event where a star player admitted wrong doing whilst employed by utd (as that’s the club I probably know the best in football), the only one I can think of is that stam admitted to being “tapped up” and was then sold to Lazio? At the end of the season when he was at the height of his defensive powers, so utd definitely took a hit there (not quite a sacking as they got cash but to this day fergie wishes he’d kept stam). There have been a number of youth/reserves let go for drink driving/criminal damage etc.

I’m sure if keane had admitted to the tackle being deliberate at the time, the stance taken by utd would have been more in line with that taken against cantona.

As for suarez – I would like to see a set table of fines/punishments for all events within a game so that this element of doubt and media witch hunt is removed, mind you I’d also like them to be able to review all events brought up (preferably by the opposing team) and double check a ref’s decision. Because as much as I like the ref being in sole charge of the game, he only has 1 set of eyes and is seriously pressured, I think this would soon sort out a lot of the pissing about on the pitch.

Not my fault if you struggle with English. 🙂

Typical mawkish scouser – blind to their own faults and blame everyone else eh?

But try substituting 'scouser' for, oh let's say 'immigrant' or 'Asian'. Not really very nice to make crass generalisations about groups of people is it. Wasn't just you btw.

You may wish to look up the definition of mawkish too - not sure how it relates to the second part of your sentence.
