Luis Suárez

[Norbs]

Yeah ok this is bollocks. Yes, he's only human. But how many full-grown adults on this site have bitten someone because they were frustrated? It's ridiculous. Just stupid. ESPECIALLY in a stadium filled with 45,000 spectators and teeming with cameras broadcasting every single one of your actions to millions around the world. There is absolutely no justification for the way he acted. None at all.

It wasn't even as if Ivanovic was on top of him and there was a struggle. Luis basically was hellbent on doing it and had to manoeuvre himself to do it. Totally barking mad

10 games for a foreigner and a yellow for an england player. **** you FA. I give up on football now but We'll have the last laugh when old Woy's ingerland fail to get to the WC.

I agree with you.

But there is another side, and that is the rank inconsistency with the governing body we are having to deal with.

The two issues should be kept separate in my opinion.

Don't think people are though.

The FA are contravening the Race Relations Act

An English player bites another player and gets no suspension. A foreign player bites another player and he gets 10 game ban

THIS IS BLATANT DISCRIMINATION!!!


The Race Relations Act 1976 was established by the Parliament of the United Kingdom to prevent discrimination on the grounds of race.
Items that are covered include discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic and national origin in the fields of employment, the provision of goods and services, education and public functions.
The Act also established the Commission for Racial Equality with a view to review the legislation, which was put in place to make sure the Act rules were followed.
The Act incorporates the earlier Race Relations Act 1965 and Race Relations Act 1968 and was later amended by the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, notably including a statutory duty on public bodies to promote race equality, and to demonstrate that procedures to prevent race discrimination are effective.
The Act was repealed by the Equality Act 2010, which supersedes and consolidates previous discrimination law in the UK.

The Defoe yellow and Luis's 10 game ban makes the farce of the position around refs having seen something or not even more stark. It just cannot go on as it is.

I think this is what irks people more than anything. The idea that a yellow card on the field gives some sort of force field against future punishment is absolutely ridiculous.

There should at least be a campaign by journalists to see that Defoe receives a retrospective 10-game ban now, it'll be barmy if there isn't one tbh.

Have you come across anyone praising the decision on your travels around the internet?

[Daniel 7]

The discrimination call is a good one thinking about it.

Are they bound to release how they reached their decision?
