I think we can put it down to "small country syndrome". For a country with a population of 3m, Uruguay punch WELL above their weight in International terms, so you have to respect them for that. But it doesn't half put an almighty great chip on their shoulder if anyone DARES criticise them or...

This is part of the reason he is a repeat offender - he is surrounded by fawning sychophants who defend his every transgression and always turn it round to paint him as the victim (which is why he's such a perfect for for for Liverpool). Its always someone elses fault, its always the media / the...

I would think those american owners are getting a little tired of shovelling £200k a week into his trousers, just for him to sit around on the sidelines picking peanuts out of poo again. Course, whether they'll actually be able to offload him if he's lumbered with another lengthy domestic ban...

Its Liverpool. You can bank on it.

Well, a lengthy ban is not only a punishment for him, it's also for the protection of other players, who have a right to take the field without wondering whether they're on his menu or not.

Agreed. I'd say a years total ban at least, and if he intends to continue as a professional footballer after the ban, then he gets ongoing psychological help for his problem.

In which case, if he is incapable of controlling himself and can't stop himself from biting opponents, then he has no place on a football pitch. Quite apart from the fact that bites which break the skin can cause infections, how long will it be before he does a Tyson and has a chunk of someones...

Just seen Suarez's take on the incident via Twitter, he's quoted on Uruguays Channel 10 radio station saying: "These things happen in the area. We were chest against shoulder. I also immediately suffered a blow to the eye". Then (unsurprisingly) he moved on and started blathering about how...

So you're saying he should get exactly the same punishment as the one he got for the bite on Ivanovic then ? Sorry, but for a THIRD biting offence, I think the punishment has to be scaled up again accordingly.

Thatcher should have got longer for that offence, absolutely no doubt. It was pure thuggery. Was that the third time he'd done it though ? And the fact that Thatcher wasn't adequately punished 10 years ago hardly justifies "going easy" on Suarez now, does it ?

A punch is a deliberate act of violence. Biting is a deliberate act of violence. In both those instances, there is irrefutible INTENT to injure and hurt an opponent. You have to separate those from other instances, because there is no doubt about the intent - it IS a deliberate act of violence...

Some elbows are deliberate, some aren't. Players use arms / elbows to block and to gain elevation when jumping, so in that respect yes, elbows are part of the game. And anyone who consistantly causes injuries to opponents through deliberately elbowing them should be dealt with just as harshly...

Tackling is part of the game though. Yes, dangerous career-threatening challenges should be harhsly dealt with as well, but an "honest" tackle can still end up being dangerous or reckless without there being any actual intent on the part of the player to injure his opponent. Biting is totally...

I think thats the end of his World Cup. He clearly cannot control himself, there's something deeply wrong with him. I know we're relying on FIFA here, but seriously, how can they justify allowing this creature on a football pitch again in this World Cup ? Had the ref seen it, that would've been...
