Luis Suárez

An international ban which takes in the next WC would clearly affect Louis - he obviously loves playing for Uruguay...

Remove the thing he loves to make him appreciate it, it's like punishing my son for drawing on the sofa by removing his pens.

I read that as "penis" and thought that was a little bit harsh!

I read that last Word as penis. I thought it was a bit harsh.

Draconian parenting FTW.

Don't go giving people ideas you lot, I'd expect to hear the usual English suspects like Gordon Taylor or Clarke Carlisle suggesting Luis get the chop as punishment soon

[fah-q]

That doesn't make any sense. The incident happened after England's game and has no bearing on England's lack of progression.

**** England anyway.

I'm (Br)Italian though.

[fah-q]

Meh, **** them too. Not arsed about international football in the slightest. But if he is an Italy fan I think their failure to beat Costa Rica had more to do with their failure to qualify than Suarez.

You may not be but then I'm not sure you're fit and able to speak for everyone else on the planet.

And yes, failure to beat Costa Rica had something to do with it hence the bit where I put PARTLY.

It confuses me why you are commenting on it at all if you have no interest in any of it.

Sky cunts pushing sol campbell to agree on a full ban including domestic games

[baitman]

but there is no real evidence though to suggest that he purposefully went out to bite someone, to force a move in either of those instances....to me it's more coincidence that after his first bite/ban we signed him.

the press in this country dont respect me. blah blah are out to persecute me, etc.
obviously thinks he is the innocent party here

he will look for an excuse, even though it is obviously him at fault.

Eamon Dunphy in calm, sensible reaction shocker!

Eamon Dunphy thinks there has been a “deplorable” media reaction to the incident involving Luis Suarez and has called for calmness in punishing the Uruguayan striker.

Suarez is being investigated for an alleged bite on defender Giorgio Chiellini during the win over Italy yesterday in the World Cup.

The incident occurred in the latter stages of the Group D encounter.

Dunphy said that a one or two-year suspension from international football is not the correct method of disciplining Suarez.

The RTÉ analyst said: “He shouldn't play again in this World Cup. I think they should reflect seriously on it. I don't think the draconian ban people are calling for are what he needs.

“He is a great player, he is 27, to take a year or two of his career now would probably destroy it and it wouldn't be right. We have to get a sense of proportion and perspective on this.

“There are guys breaking legs in football. In other sports like rugby there is gouging and all kinds of wicked assaults. People get away with them. This is unprecedented and he has crossed the line.

“It's self-destructive in a way. If someone had said to me, do you want your leg broken or badly-damaged, or a bite on the shoulder, I'd take the bite on the shoulder.

“What is shocking about it is that we've never seen it. There is something primitive and visceral that is shocking initially. But we have to be adult about it, think about the game first and the culture, but also about a very, very gifted player.”

Dunphy said he feels the Liverpool striker needs psychiatric help to overcome the issues that have led to a third biting allegation in his career.

He added that through this method both the game and the former Ajax player can be protected.

“He has to be helped in my view and protected for his own good. I don't think we should be vengeful and all of those mad headlines demanding vengeance and all of that, I find deplorable," said Dunphy.

“It's going to hurt him. He needs psychiatric help to see what is triggering this type of behaviour but we also need to see a great player.

“I feel sorry for him and Chiellini. It was shocking to see but I always think you shouldn't make judgements in the heat of shock. You just need to be calm and work out what the objective is here.

“The objective is to protect the culture of the game and ultimately I think to make sure this player can fulfil his talent and pursue his career without any draconian ban."

This is worse...

Many others are. Far worse.
But the world won't see it that way...

I hope we don't take the moral high ground here and get shot of Luis because of this. You can bet that in a year or two he'll be pursued by Arsenal, Chelsea, City or even Man Utd, who'll claim that he's served his time now and we need to move on and forgive. They'll be rubbing their hands if we move him out, don't think any different.

Screw that, lets do all we can to keep him. Sort his head out in house and move forward with Luis.
