It's now at the point where people have to talk about Suarez as being genuinely quite seriously mentally ill. We also have to talk about the possibility that Brendan Rogers is a druid with the ability to control wild beasts.

Anyone think FIFA will take action? That seriously has to be dealt with and it isn't just Suarez, Uruguay seemed to be a dodgy pack.

 

And that Italy red card, I'm not so sure about that. Maybe another case of the Country and the referee speaking the same language, John Hancock mentioned a few days ago.

Uruguay are a horrible, filthy team, with or without Saurez. Surely they'll send him home though. F*cking biting people in a World Cup, Jesus Christ.

 

Yeah, still hate the language thing too, it's so dodgy, one team can fluently communicate with the referee in their mother tongue and the other team can't? Doesn't sit right with me at all.

Amazing. Hancock is right, to do this not once, twice but on three separate occasions seriously suggests some major underlying mental health issues.

 

As a fan sitting in my spot though, I hope he gets away with it. I'll be disappointed to see him go home, he's box office.

 

The red card, I personally wouldn't have given it a red, I can see why its given but I think its harsh. I was supporting Uruguay though so I wasn't complaining.

FIFA World Cup 2014

 

I'll watch the incident on TV later before making a judgement. The gobshites on Talksport are pretty riled up about it though.

 

Right now I'm praying Japan go through now, such is the way of the work sweepstake :D.

 

Cheers!

I reckon Brendan Rodgers is a warg, like Bran in Game Of Thrones. When he doesn't have control of Suarez, he goes off and bites folk.

 

Just saying...

Suarez needs a lengthy ban. If he's just banned from Uruguay games, it'll be too lenient. His disgraceful actions in the past prove that a game ban isn't enough, so hopefully FIFA hand down a 6 month ban or something.

Just seen a couple of other angles of the Suarez incident. It's an absolute slam damn in terms of it's conclusiveness. He's surely gonna get the book thrown at him.

From what I've been reading, he could get a maximum of a 20-game ban or, if he is deemed to have seriously breached FIFA's disciplinary rules, they could ban him for up to 2yrs.

 

As this is his third incident, an example should be set and, if possible, a life-time ban.

 

Incidentally, the Uruguay captain and manager have been defending Suarez and the comments have been hilarious in their utter denial that he did anything wrong.

Still, don't worry, Danny Mills is here to keep things in perspective:

 

"It has to be the longest ban in football ever. A worldwide ban, not just an international ban.

 

"These are exceptional circumstances and they must be able to ban him worldwide for this. It is the third time it has happened and it is a clear bite this time, in a tournament of this magnitude, the most watched tournament in the world. I am sorry but they have got to throw him in jail and lock him up for ever."

That quote is amazing. I do love when people get really, REALLY outraged at things like this. I wouldn't hear a peep of disapproval from me if he got a life time ban, but I do think it would be a little harsh. Although, really, what do you do? It's not like he's going to stop, it's not like he's a rational, sane person who's ever going to change, so maybe you do have to ban him.

Chellini was great when they interview him after the game, he went on a proper rant about how something needed to be done but FIFA want the best players to play so will do nothing but sweep it under the rug when something should be done.

 

FIFA will can only take retroactive action if it is mentioned in the referee's report as per their own rules which means seen as the ref and the linesman missed it, then it most likely not going to be in the report and therefore Suarez will get away with it.

That referee's report rule isn't used anymore, and FIFA have made their charges.

 

FIFA has officially charged Uruguay's Luis Suarez with biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini in the teams' World Cup match, a process that could lead to a suspension for Uruguay's best offensive player.

 

FIFA announced early Wednesday that its disciplinary committee has opened proceedings against Suarez, just hours after the end of Tuesday's match.

 

If the panel finds Suarez guilty of assaulting an opponent, FIFA rules call for a ban of at least two matches up to a maximum of 24 months.

 

FIFA asked the team to present evidence, which can include video recordings, by 5 p.m. local time (2000 GMT) Wednesday.

 

A decision must be published before Saturday, when Uruguay plays Colombia in a round-of-16 match at Maracana stadium.

 

Uruguay advanced by beating Italy 1-0 on Tuesday in Natal. One minute before the decisive goal, Suarez clashed with Chiellini and was caught by television cameras apparently biting his shoulder.

 

Match referee Marco Rodriguez of Mexico appeared not to see the incident and took no action.

 

Brazil's World Cup has been a high-scoring tournament featuring late goals, comebacks, full stadiums and underdog stories, but the bite was got much of the global attention Tuesday.

 

Earlier in his career, the 27-year-old Suarez was suspended in the Netherlands and England for biting opponents. He didn't confirm or deny biting Chiellini, but said he was angry that the Italian defender had hit him in the eye during the game.

 

"These are things that happen on the pitch, we were both in the area, he thrust his shoulder into me," Suarez said in Spanish. "These things happen on the pitch, and we don't have to give them so much (importance)."

 

FIFA's disciplinary panel "is responsible for sanctioning serious infringements which have escaped the match officials' attention," the governing body said in a statement.

 

"Any type of proof may be produced," FIFA noted, including "reports from referees, declarations from the parties and witnesses, material evidence, audio or video recordings."

 

FIFA set a World Cup precedent for using video review in 1994.

 

Then, in a quarterfinal, Italy defender Mauro Tassotti's elbow to the face of Spain's Luis Enrique escaped the referee's attention. FIFA later banned Tassotti for eight international matches.

EDIT: Also, a dude in Norway made £500 on a £3 bet that Suarez would bite someone during the World Cup. Top gambling.

There is a precedent for a footballer being jailed for assaulting an opponent during a game. Duncan Ferguson was given 3mths in Barlinnie for headbutting Jock McStay in 1994.

 

I'm not saying he will get imprisoned, but as unlikely as it may be, it's not out of the realms of possibility.
