Incredible this stat. Luis Suarez has now been banned for 34 games since 2010 without receiving a single red card. Think the Italian defender's assessment was the truest so far, when he called Suarez a sneak. this just shows everything to be underhand, behind the refs back etc. I reckon he...

£80m? They can bite me!

Don't like to be harsh, but they do come across as a bit of a medieval, pretty dumb nation. Or at least a nation with a lot of dumb conspiratorial tendencies Reaction to the ban; "I don't want to get into conspiracy theories, but it seems that FIFA isn't interested in letting small countries...

BBC have just said Suarez is appealing. Well not to me he's not.

Yeah, tis a bit pathetic, but just imagine the length of ban he would have got if he had have actually bitten him.

4 months from now? While there is still another 2 months until the season starts? okay, just clocked. Misses the first 9 Premiership games.

I'm surprised their aren't more penalties against Italy when they play in tournaments. Surely a chance of a hand ball everytime one of their players gives the 'Italian salute. '

This dithering by FIFA (not being able yet to agree on whether he is guilty/how severely he should be punished) doesn't look too promising does it. Head moves to shoulder, quick knee jerk type reaction of jaw by purpetrator, following which, defendant is seen to have bite marks on the exact...

Seen a few pubs and cars down here flying both the England and Italian flags. Don't see any reason why both sides can't respect each other. Big banners from the Bedfordshire police asking for just that. A joint enjoyment of the game together. God knows what would have happened if they had been...

Uruguay president, Jose Mujica. Mujica, 79, a former guerrilla fighter and political prisoner, added that Fifa should not use television evidence to retrospectively punish players. Chiellini pulled down his shirt to display what appear to be bite marks on his shoulder ...

Think this is the worst thing in all this. Not that he did it, depsite clear evidence, but that he has denied he did it (though if it went to court it would be a 100% nailed on conviction) and that his team mates, his captain, his manager, his lawyer, the Uruguayan press and the Uruguayan county...

BBC: "Can you comment on the incident with Luis Suarez? Can you comment on what the world saw yesterday?" Diego Lugano: "What incident? I don't know what incident you're talking about. I don't know what incident you're talking about. Are you talking about...

What you talking about? Nothing happend. It wasn't clear at all. He didn't do it. How Uruguay closed ranks over Luis Suarez...

Think they should just say the first incidence spotted of shirt pulling in the box by a defender will result in an automatic penalty. It is usually defenders on strikers rather than the other way round in the first instance.

Thought you were talking about Ann Widdecombe. :facepalm:

If a video referee was watching all the tussling and shirt pulling in the penalty area that would soon put a stop to it all. There would be a rash of red cards and then players would have to stop doing it. Got to the stage now where nearly everyone is doing it and it has got quite ridiculous.

Don't think you are reading what I am saying properly limoncello. :) Was just saying that tonight it didn't even need to have interrupted the game. Just tonight. Didn't say it wouldn't interrupt the game in general, just that tonight at half time the incident was identified and that could have...

Totally thought it through!! For me I don't think a challenge system would work, as I could see teams using it on occasion just to take the pace out of the game if they were on the back foot. Challenging for the sake of challenging. I think a video ref would be better. Someone scrutinising the...

Then he gets sent off in the 2nd half. I was just saying tonight it didn't even need to interrupt the game.
