Cornish Steve Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 One of his sponsors. An online gambling company, has canceled his contract with immediate effect.

msloan78 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's ridiculous that any of the parties involved are considering appealing any ban. On what grounds they think it will be overturned I haven't got a clue. Biggest bans I can think of are: 1) Cantona: 9 mths for assaulting a spectator. 2) Mutu: 7 mths for cocaine. 3) Duncan Ferguson: 44 days in prison and 12 games. 4) Di Canio: 11 games for pushing a ref. These were for all intents and purposes, 1 off incidents whilst Suarez has been guilty of the same offence 3 times. As a one off, biting is bad enough and has already seen him banned so it is common sense that he should be bannd for significantly longer. Legal arguments and stupid people trying to justify it all should make interesting reading. Romey 1878 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people are complaining about a 4 month ban from a game where he is paid millions (3m in wages during this ban) and a fine equating to 1/3 of 1 weeks wage?!

Hafnia Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Getting on my tits people mentioning Roy Keane. fuck all to do with a career ending injury, which he should have received a lifetime ban for.

Guest blueboy122 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 He said he didn't bite anyone...... Ready. "He lost his balance" They should throw another month at him. It's ridiculous.

MikeO Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 How can the Uruguay coach say he's been made a "scapegoat"?

MikeO Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28085880 Thing I find strangest about that is the fact that they're holding a reception for a team that failed so dismally. Guess they're just blaming that on Suarez being sent home and thinking they'd have won it if he'd stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Independent from the fallout and the contradicting declarations that have surfaced during these past days, all of which have been without the intention of interfering with the good performance of my national team, the truth is that my colleague Giorgio Chiellini suffered the physical result of a bite in the collision he suffered with me.

MikeO Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 This line (off RAWK) had me pissing myself.

MikeO Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Incidentally RAWK have now locked their thread about the "incident" and their thread about the apology . Maybe they think if nobody talks about it it'll all go away? Three thousand odd people on there presumably wanting to talk about it but they're not allowed; bizarre reaction.
