OTHER SUAREZ CONTROVERSIES
Liverpool forward Luis Suarez is back in the spotlight after appearing to bite Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic on the arm during the 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Anfield, going on to score a late equaliser.
Here are some of the previous controversies surrounding the Uruguayan forward.
February 2007: Suarez made his international debut for Uruguay against Colombia but was sent off in the final minutes after being shown a second yellow card for dissent.
November 2007: Joined Ajax from Uruguayan side Nacional but he was later suspended by the Dutch giants after a half-time dressing-room altercation with team-mate Albert Luque.
July 2010: During the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals, Suarez prevented Ghana's Dominic Adiyiah from scoring in the final minute with a deliberate handball on the line and was subsequently sent off. A penalty was awarded but missed by Asamoah Gyan and footage showed Suarez celebrating on the sidelines. Uruguay eventually went through to the last four on penalties.
November 2010: Suarez was handed a seven-match ban by the Dutch FA and fined by his club for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal during an Eredivisie match.
October 2011: Following his move to Liverpool in January 2011, he was involved in a tackle with Everton's Jack Rodwell and goes down with apparent minimal contact. Rodwell was then sent off.
October 2011: Suarez was alleged to have racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra during a Premier League match. Suarez was later found guilty by an independent regulatory commission and banned for eight matches and fined £40,000.
December 2011: Was seen making an offensive gesture towards Fulham fans. At this time he had already been charged by the Football Association over the racism incident, although not yet punished, but was handed a further one-match ban for the gesture.
February 2012: United and Liverpool met again at Old Trafford, but more controversy blew up as Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand before kick-off.
October 2012: Celebrated a goal against Everton by diving in front of Toffees boss David Moyes who had earlier claimed that 'divers' such as Suarez were putting fans off the English game.
January 2013: Handles the ball prior to scoring Liverpool's winner in the FA Cup third round tie at Mansfield.
April 2013: Bites Branislav Ivanovic on the arm but escapes punishment on the pitch as the referee fails to see it, and scores Liverpool's equaliser seven minutes into stoppage time as they draw 2-2 with Chelsea at Anfield.
From the Dailymail article, some of these "contoversies" are a joke! Diving infromt of Moyes after Moyes called him a diver is a controversy? WTF is that!

Heated discussion. I'll add my two cents. The FA are a private organisation and with any private organisation have a set of rules of which to abide. They don't have to follow any kind of national legal proceedings what so ever. they can issue whatever punishment they see fit as its their organisation and it's their rules. If the FA wanted to revoke his registration and ban him for life they could easy as pie.
see it being that severe I think it will be in the 10-15 game bracket, however if I saw 6 months ban tomorrow I really wouldn't be shocked at all.
A Bite may not be worse in terms of injury than an elbow or a punch, however biting someone is so socially unacceptable and so rare it calls for a bespoke kind of response, that response will come tomorrow.
The amusing thing in all of this is had Suarez acted like a normal human being and had some kind of mental framework that allows him to understand what is acceptable and what is not then non of this discussion would be getting said, he brought it on himself and the FA now need to act.
The anger by some is really misplaced.

Whilst I completely agree that he should have accepted his charged and disputed the decision to make it more than three games, I think it's futile. This is the FA, where a man can nearly break another man's leg and get nothing and another do exactly the same but have nothing happen. They go by their own laws, you can't defend against it.
I'm also interested in the referees written report. Forgive me for what I'm about to say as it is calling the honesty of referees and the FA into question but who sees the referee's written report? When is it written? Who's to say that the FA don't dictate to the referee when he should say he saw it or not? I'm mean the McManaman incident was pretty far-fetched...he saw part of it so the FA can't act? Pull the fuсking other one!
The only opinion that really matters in all this is that of the disciplinary panel. They will pass judgement and penalty.

Talking of insults, your a fine one to talk!!
If you think greatat has insulted you then you maybe need to move on.
Just a final note, people were asking if the Evra affair Matty increase their ban, although both separate incidents falling under different banners, the FA warned specifically about his 'future conduct' this would fall under that. That's not to say it will have any bearing but it could if they see fit.

Whilst that is true, it's a major topic and one that isn't strange to be discussed on a discussion forum.
I have no problem with Suarez being banned, he deserves it. I have no problem with whatever punishment they dish out. However I'd like to see huge changes with how the FA judge and dish out bans. I'd like them, like the seem to have done after the Suarez-Evra incident, to law down set ban lengths for offences. They have charged Suarez for violent conduct which is three games and yet, it will be more. Thus take it away from violent conduct, it's a different law with a different punishment, they said as much themselves.
When they dish out a length of punishment, if something similar happens in future then use the previous as a benchmark, it's this inconsistency which makes it all that more ridiculous.
he called me a smartass (now i'm not saying i'm not) but isn't that an insult ?
