Suarez - the hypocrisy of it all

Come on, biting?

Just to put this into perspective. I watched the Chelsea match tonight and there was one stand out tackle made by David Luiz. Went over the top of the ball, quite deliberately if you watched the slowmo. That could have broken the other players leg although it didn't I know. He got a yellow card. That's it, no ban, no terrible headlines no doubt.

Suarez bit somebody on the arm. Not nice but not career threatening in any way unless you consider the possibility of rabies. 10 match ban. Which was worse in reality?

I have seen numerous tackles like the one tonight and at worst it is a red with a 3 match ban. I still think 10 is over the top.

I heard a rumour that the reason the ban is so long is because the bite was just to distract everybody whilst he slid his index finger up the defenders rectum, it's just a rumour though.

I didn't see the Chelsea player complaining about the finger though so it couldn't have been considered a foul by him. I did hear that John Terry complained he wasn't shown the same respect but that's only rumour as well.

10 games is over the top, but he is a little cnut.

Have they taken into consideration his previous indiscretions? If not then it is way, way too far to ban him for a quarter of the season when far worse goes on week in week out.

I was sent off in a Sunday League game for "chewing gum in a threatening way aimed at the referee" The fine was £15 and I had a 3 match ban, for chewing gum threateningly!

Yea but was it already in the Ref's mouth though Jock. (The chewing gum I mean before anyone takes that wrongly).

The ban certainly cost them big time yesterday.
