. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
8 sounds like a punishment they would hand out to someone they really, really want to nail, and that certainly sounds like the FA and Suarez.
But a mitigated punishment could be acceptable, considering Luis' quick apology, club's fine, Ivanovic's accepting of apology......................and if there is a genuine acceptance by media influences on the FA that he'd didn't murder someone on the pitch.
Not likely, but there's always a reversal of the immediate hysteria with outlandish incidents.
Double figures is reserved for completely over the top assaults, such as Pepe against Getafe.
Who, BTW, is still at that club. Just saying like.
