I wonder if when there's something you can actually defend in the future you'll continue with this newfound happy-go-lucky attitude. -

Seriously faux, you sound deluded. The idea that the internet (and not stupif, violent, racist cannibals) have ruined the game is straight from the gooey centre of RAWK/Planet Skeggs says it all.
Oh, and if it's "just a game", then why so serious about the ban? Sure it means your best player won't be available for 10 games and likely dropped points.....but it's just a game innit? -
Oh god football is SO BORING. -

It's not football that's been treated as 'srs bsns' here, it's the act of biting somebody aggressively, which as Solid pointed out is a disgraceful act regardless of where it occurs. Again if he did that in any 'average joe' job then he'd be dismissed for gross misconduct.
But of course we're talking about a game where superstar players are high value commodities and as such are not held accountable in the same way normal people (or even less able players) are. See the contrast in the club's treatment of Suarez post-Evra incident, and the treatment of that fan who was suspected of racially abusing an Oldham player a few of months later.
Ivanovic had the chance to press criminal charges; is that not 'srs bsns' enough for you? -

Anyway I take it back, the internet hasn't ruined football, it's ruined the way people talk about football. -

Registered 11 years agoThe difference is, if I bit someone at my work I'd be dismissed but then I would be replaced with someone who has the same skills. It just isn't as easy to replace a footballer. So whatever our opinions are. (I am a Liverpool fan by the way) Footballers are worth more than the average joe, therefore they won't be replaced as easily, so clubs won't just get rid of him -

Registered 13 years agoAll this "if I did x at work" is nonsense anyway. If Suarez sat down at a desk on the pitch and read sales reports for two hours, I'm pretty sure he'd get sold sharpish. -

Registered 16 years agoThere should be even more pressure placed on their actions given that a) the world is watching and b) we are fucking paying for it.
Someone bites a colleague at work, as a customer I'm not really bothered what you do with them since I won't see it and it won't affect my actions. If that's how you want to run your business, so be it. But if your job is to provide a display that I pay for, you had better be well behaved.

Registered 11 years agoI'm not defending him. I think it was a disgusting incident and I hope he goes so we can start building some respect for our club again. I'm just stating the reason I think he will be kept. Plus I also agree that we pay for them to behave and show a good example but that doesn't change the fact that clubs just won't show valuable assets the door -

In Russia their stars throw acid on their rivals.

I'm not trying to make an argument, I'm just pointing out that one particular bit of lazy thinking. Different kinds of labour come with different expectations. There's very few jobs similar to football. In fact, in one of the most similar ones, rugby, biting is fairly common. Clearly, that doesn't make it an ok thing to do, and I'm not defending the bite. I'm saying the line about "if i did x at work" is just meaningless waffle.
