Luis Suárez

[Fredo]

This Dr Peters is a sports therapist. Obviously he is going to be working on the sporting side of his game.

No one is saying he is angry off the pitch, its the opposite infact. But he does seem to have issues on the pitch with control. It is hard to ignore a 7, 8 and 10 game ban for a player. Plus this pending issue with Uruguay.

I know the 8 games was for Racism. But that is still a control issue for me.

There was an ongoing spat with Evra who was looking for a reaction. Again, he wasn't angry.

[Alex]

I've never seen him once partake in dirty tricks with opponents.

This seems like blind loyalty to me. Bit like when you were telling us the other day you dont think he actually bit Ivanovic

Did he actually say that?

David Cameron has said Luis Suárez's punishment for biting is a matter for the Football Association and his own intervention in the matter was merely that of a concerned father.

The Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, on Thursday reacted angrily to his striker's 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, claiming that remarks from both the FA and prime minister had affected the impartiality of the independent panel hearing the case.

The FA stated the standard three-match ban for violent conduct was "clearly insufficient" when announcing Suárez had been charged on Monday, while Cameron said earlier this week: "I think it would be very understandable if [the panel] took into account the fact that high-profile players are often role models."

The prime minister told BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday morning: "I made my own views clear just as a dad watching the game. I've got a seven-year-old son who just loves watching football and when players behave like this it just sets the most appalling example to young people in our country."

Pressed on whether a 10-match ban was appropriate for the offence, he added: "That's up to the FA, it's not my decision. The FA make the decision, they're entirely independent and that is the way it should work.

"I'm going to leave it entirely to the FA. But if you're asking me as a dad and as a human being, do I think we should have tough penalties when players behave like this, yes I think we should.

"There are people, I've read in some newspapers, who think somehow this isn't serious. I think it is serious, when we're trying to bring up our children properly, they do see football players as role models.

"Bringing up children is one of the toughest things we do but you can't wrap them in cotton wool and hide them away from the world, they do see these real-life examples and they repeat them back to you."

I didn't say that, I said it was an instinctive reaction. All of this has been blown out of proportion.

My mistake, you said you didn't think he did it on purpose.

Is this the same son he and his wife forgot in a boozer on a Summer's day? That was setting a brilliant example by him wasn't it

"Concerned father"

[ChesterDave]

Need to avoid the BBC today. First comment they publish on Sportsday page

James Kirkpatrick: "Suarez is lucky his ban is so short. His actions were disgusting on a sports field. Football should look at rugby's discipline."

Oh, would that be Rugby who gave a piss poor ban to Cian Healey for stamping? Or Rugby that gave a shorter ban for a bite incident less than 2 months ago? Rugby that game a 3 month ban for a tip tackle that could have paralysed someone? Or Rugby that would see Suarez banned for 4 matches because they disciplinary system bans for time, not matches missed.

Rugby

I believe it was his daughter, but the point should still be made to any media outlet that will print it. People are human, they make mistakes.

He is an opportunist so obviously going to bandwagon the latest thing in popular culture.

[Sarb]

Sorry to keep on about the prick, but this guy is on about bringing kids up properly yet he and his Govt see it okay to **** on families where one parent decides to stay home and bring up the child and the other goes to work, (sacrifices time with child to work all hours so they are provided for). And I'm not saying families where both parents go to work are bad parents

This is what I mean about the people who question the guy and take this crap and print it. Can't even question him on the basics. Just present a skewed view and **** on people

I wonder what we would be writing if the biter had been Rooney or Terry.

We'd be blaming it on Suarez

[kev776]

We would be screaming for a longer ban. Apart from spitting in someone's face, biting is considered amongst the most disgusting things that can happen in sport. He has done it twice and been found guilty of being a racist.

I love him as a footballer for us but I'm struggling to find any sympathy, mainly anger towards him.

For what he gats paid he is not very professional and in all other walks of life he would be unemployed now.
