If there was ever a collection of pundits that I didn't want to hear from, there is four of them straight away. Phil Neville must be having a piss.
 
There you go, Stotty. Now you know what's 'okay' and what's not. In bold type and pompous purple, too. ;)
Indigo.

Ched Evans should have been sacked - and was. Gary Madine should have been sacked - but wasn't. Both were put in prison for assaulting other people.

Luis Suarez has assaulted three other people. He should be sacked and in prison too - who cares that he's 'worth' £60m? He's a violent, psychopathic scumbag.
 
I can forgive them for this, partly because they're Adidas and partly because the Routemasters they sponsor in London look really awesome. I mean, where can I get one of those?
 
That is what you call a ninja edit.

Quite so.

Di Maria looking good for Argentina so far this game, working out quite nicely for Argentina and Nigeria at the moment.

For starters they should kick him out of the World Cup, since this is the 2nd World Cup in succession where he has caused controversy (from blatant cheating to assault)
Uruguay don't deserve the feats that they achieved in 2010 and what they can achieve in 2014-Lets hope that Colombia can dash their aspirations
 
A habit of physically assaulting others also != a one-off where you thought a drunk girl said it was okay

Hmmm... ‘The girl was drunk, and I thought she was up for it’ is a common defence to rape, but completely unacceptable in any decent persons opinion.

Slightly OTT :lol:

Plus extremely naive to think any club is going to throw away €100 million.
 
Aguero is injured again? Is this like the third time this year he's been out?
 
So, as a birthday present, Enyeama gives Messi a goal... :grumpy:

Pathetic... :yuck:

Lille, you need a real goalkeeper OCHOACOFCOFOCHOACOFCOF...
 
Why do people keep saying he's worth 100 mill?

A level headed ballotelli at Man City would have been worth more than the tempermental one they had and sold. The same in Suarez's case. Considering his time banned every other season I don't see him being worth that amount. Maybe 50-60.
 
Why do people keep saying he's worth 100 mill?

I think I'm the one saying €100 million.

Madrid paid €91 million for Bale.

Suarez is a better player than Bale (even if he misses 6-10 games a season ;)).
 
Great goal by Messi, 50/50 shared with Enyeama though.

Because a goalkeeper that keeps 11 clean sheets in a row clearly isn't real.

What's the defence for noshing on someone who happened to be standing next to you?
Slightly OTT :lol:
Please come up with an alternative term for someone who thinks he can assault people by biting lumps out of them over and over again. It's violent, he shows no remorse (like a psychopath) and he thinks it's acceptable behaviour (like a scumbag).

I didn't say "would". I said "should":
I don't think Liverpool will do anything - but I do think they should do something. Suarez' transfer value should play no part whatsoever in any decisions regarding possible disciplinary action.
And of course they won't do anything - it's just like Liverpool to not take any responsibility for anything done by a red shirt.
 
Suarez...WTF?!!!

How is it that hard to not bite somebody, all you need to do is keep your mouth shut.
 
And now Argentina retakes the lead!
 
Ignoring his reputation, which is in tatters regardless (except in Uruguay), then the only entity which loses by Liverpool sacking Suarez is Liverpool. Some other club will pick him up by the end of the week and he will carry on scoring goals, fueled by the flesh of opponents.

It has happened a load of times in Australia with (mostly) rugby league players carrying on like morons, getting sacked by their club for being a moron, picked up by someone else and carrying on without a care in the world.

He needs to be rubbed out by FIFA, effective at all levels. OR, a brave Liverpool board would keep him on the books and on the bench.

If they keep him they lose integrity and whatever little good faith the neutral fans retain in the club.
 
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
 
It's down to Fifa to apply the punishment, then Liverpool will come out with the ' We will stand by Luis', then he will be sold by the start of the season.
 
Ugh. I keep missing the goals every time I switch between ITV1 and 4. :irked:

Staying with Bosnia-Iran for the remainder.
 
Just to be 100% clear, I am not defending Suarez. It was disgusting and stupid. But some perspective is needed.

What's the defence for noshing on someone who happened to be standing next to you?.

There is no defense. But comparing what Suarez did to rape is not only ridiculous, but belittles the horrendous experience of those women who have been raped.

You might get away with saying something like that on GTP, where the majority of members are male, but go post that on a forum with a balanced membership and see what sort of response you get.

If you saw the end of the game it was quite clear that Suarez fully realised what he'd done - whilst his team mates were celebrating, he was alone. The expression on his face and his body language said it all.

Violent? Yes, to a point, however, the injury (if indeed there is one) is hardly life threatening. Scumbag? Yes. Psycopath? PMSL

I expect more of you... You're posts are typically more mature than that.

I didn't say "would". I said "should"

You'd make a great CEO.

And of course they won't do anything - it's just like like any football club to not take any responsibility for anything done by a one of their players.

EFA

It's not like football clubs in general have a strong track record of dealing with incidents involving their players.

And let's wait and see what the clubs response is.

Personally, I sell him for as much money as I could... his buyout clause is rumoured to be somewhere between £70-80 million. That will do.

Whether Chiellini has an injury caused by the incident is completely irrelevant, it's the intent that matters.

If the intent was violence, I think an elbow to the face would be more effective than trying to bite his shoulder :lol:

It was given.

Nobody did that. I simply gave an example of a footballer who committed a crime, was imprisoned and sacked regardless of the value to the club. You then decided to compare the crimes to one another.

Out of interest, if Suarez had raped someone, would you call for Liverpool to sack him or would you say it's "naive" to suggest they'd get rid of a E100m asset just for putting his willy in someone?

Remorselessness is a sign of psychopathy.

As is modus operandi. He bit the guy because that's what he does. He does it over and over again and shows no sign of even thinking it's wrong - though the emotionless "I have a problem" speech he gave after the last one was a great bit of Liverpool PR.
I expect more of you... You're posts are typically more mature than that.
So you agree with two-thirds of the description and are brushing over the third in the face of the fact Suarez's statements show no remorse whatsoever, but there's some kind of failing of maturity on my behalf?

And how's that relevant anyway? What you expect of me or don't has nothing to do with the fact Suarez is a violent scumbag - as you apparently agree, so why it's about me suddenly I don't know.
You'd make a great CEO.
Why? Because I had to repeat myself after you read something into my post that wasn't there, after @Touring Mars had already done the same thing?

We said Liverpool should sack Suarez because it's the right thing to do. You say it's naive to expect that they will. We don't expect that they will - we say that they should. It's pretty much a given that they won't because they didn't last time, when he bit Ivanovic and everyone said exactly the same thing.

Sheffield United seemed to manage - and remember I'm a Wednesday fan. I don't compliment the Pigs easily.

As did Wigan (Marlon King) and Cardiff (Kevin Sainte-Luce). Of course Liverpool and Suarez are different, because he's a world class player worth lots of money... right?
And let's wait and see what the clubs response is.
Anything less than sacking him is wrong.
Personally, I sell him for as much money as I could... his buyout clause is rumoured to be somewhere between £70-80 million. That will do.
Yeah, because when you have to ditch someone because he's utter scum, why not profit from it. You stay classy, Liverpool.

Incidentally, lest you conjure up some kind of anti-Suarez hatred on my behalf, I defended him during the racism row. Though I can't stand him and his antics - or Liverpool - the racism 'conviction' was an utter joke and should never have occurred. Why did I defend him when I don't like him? Objectivity.

Liverpool should sack him. They probably won't.
