Think what you like i know i was there. Ive nothing to prove to anyone.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2429947.stm
No record of you being on the bench here. But I suppose the BBC aren't a credible source.
Interesting choice of words :suarez1Why do people keep using 'but you can break someones leg and get 3 matches!' as a justification why this ban is extortionate? Yes, you can put in a bad tackle and injure someone severely, but a tackle is a part of the game, at the end of the day. It's a contact sport and injuries will happen, and if someone is excessive/reckless it's correct they should be punished. But biting? There's zero reason for it to even be an issue on a football field. It can't be looked at the same way.
What Suarez did meets the criteria for an ABH conviction. Biting someone may not hurt as much as getting an elbow to the head, but any number of diseases can be transferred if the bite breaks the skin. It obviously needs to be clamped down on, because it's dangerous and fucking mental.
While 10 games is high, Rush summed it up perfectly. Regardless of where it happened, Suarez has prior for this exact thing, and has already served a lengthy ban under the FA. Of course it's going to impact his punishment.
Top 4 and financial balance are the greatest trophies of all
2nd only to the possession trophy
You play for draws and you get them. We have drawn a lot of games this season, shock horror. I'm just glad that the players weren't willing to give up the win."Once you are 1-0 down and you get back to 1-1, you have to be honest and say you settle for that. But the lads wanted something different and showed great drive and determination to get the winner."
