Interesting point on the BBC website. If you or I bit a fellow fan at a match we would almost definitely get a banning order for a few years and possibly even prosecuted for assault. Strange how a filthy rich player gets away with a 4 month ban.

Why ? It's the player being punished. What if he played for say Iran ? It would hardly be a punishment if he could still play premier league football and still collect his £xxx,000 a week and just miss a single Iranian international match. Hopefully Liverpool won't be paying him.

That would be for the CPS to decide based on the evidence and likelihood of a successful prosecution. What I do think is that stepping within the white lines of a football pitch doesn't suddenly make you immune to the law.

You can have controversy without assault you know ?

:facepalm: and you call me a loon !

Why thank you, first compliment of the week :thumbsup:

No it's not - it depends on the intention. Most flying elbows are accidental - try proving which are accidental and which aren't. The film footage of the bite clearly shows he meant to do it.

So in your opinion, what does a player have to do on the field of play before they get punished ? GBH ? Rape ? Murder ? The slimeball committed assault and just because it was on a football pitch and just because there have been other assaults that have gone unpunished does not mean he should...

WTF !!!! You think assault should just be forgotten ??

Quite clearly bit the player - slimey little shit needs banning for at least a season.
