English Premier League 2012/2013

The fact that Defoe didn't receive any sort of ban when he bit Mascherano should work in Suarez's favour, funny no one ever mentions Defoe having bitten someone in the past though

Defoe is clearly more hungry for goals

How is spitting worse than biting?

Ref was right infront of them so he probably saw it.

Yes, but you like him because he's a cunt.

That's not the defence I want.

Yeah i get that, just find it odd that people would always bring up the bite incident regarding Suarez even before the Evra stuff but the Defoe bite was just forgotten about

Cos Defoe only did it once...

Whilst not trying to defend Luis Suarez and his biting incident, let’s try and keep things in perspective. During almost every game of football, every weekend, week in, week out, we see potentially career-ending tackles where players go in high, over the ball, sometimes two-footed. In a lot of cases, the horror tackles go either un-noticed by the ref, or, and in a lot of cases, un-punished. If you look closely at the replay from this afternoon, Suarez is being held as he challenges for the ball, as he very often is when he’s in the penalty area. Maybe, after being constantly held, pulled, and dragged by opposing players, he’d had enough. Still doesn’t justify what he did, but bearing in mind the other multiple horror tackles that happened in other games, this weekend alone, let’s keep all of this in some sort of perspective. No doubt, the Suarez-hating FA and media will be calling for a lengthy ban, for what is actually, a very minor incident, in comparison to almost breaking someone’s ankle or leg.

I meant in terms of overreaction. Spitting always has a massive overreaction.

I really don't see how a 10/12 match ban is going to teach him a lesson. Like some of you said, he got a 7 match ban in Holland for biting, yet he's done it again today.

I've always said, crime for crime. If you kill someone, you should be killed. You blind someone, you should be blinded, etc. (obviously wouldn't work but they're just my views) Let Ivanovic take a chunk out of Suarez and let see if he likes it. Ban/fine him as much as you want, he'll always be a cunt and will always cause trouble. But what a player he is.

And at least he's restored a bit of life here with everyone commenting ha!

Spitting at an opponent is one of the lowest things you can do on a football pitch.

It's disgusting.

Biting someone is very dangerous and potentially worse than a high tackle. Something needs to be done about him as he is clearly not mentally fit to play

What a joke. Really.

I find it hilarious the lengths some will go to defend a footballer who plays for their side. It's really odd; yeah you don't need to like the players personally, but you don't need to defend them against everything they do wrong.

Doesn't matter, I hate when people bring up past incidents of wrongdoing to try and justify a current issue.

Suarez is a cunt plain and simple.

I love him however.

Hope he's banned next week though or he'll eat us alive \o/

It was when Mascherano played for West Ham - quite a while ago. Irrelevant.

Because he's just bit somebody again thats why.

True. Rather be spat at than have a serious injury and potentially lose millions of pounds and the risk of not recovering/not fully recovering though.

I did say it was bought up before all of this today, quite often as it happens.
