Seems about right and fair.

I agree anne, it should be a public beheading at the very least!!

I don't think so, Anne. It's completely one rule for some... Bitemarks are counted as ABH- up to 5 years in prison. He is told he won't be paid for playing football for 4 months. I wonder if i had done that, if my "punishment" would have been the same.

Humans deliberately break each others legs, animals don't.
I think the ban is about right, he is more a schoolgirl than a savage.

Anne, I have to agree.

[anneasquith]

pixie, I don't believe he has been arrested/charged with ABH.

[Peter Pedant]

Yeah when Maradona hand-balled the ball, they didnt chop his hands off did they ?
or
make him wear boxing gloves whenver he played

[pixie373]

Maybe he should be. Isn't this the third time he's done it?

Look at the Roy Keane tackle on Haaland and judge if we may be getting this out of perspective.

"I reacted in a bit of a mischievous way - my character is a little like that at times"

A quote from Louis Suarez? No, the words of Jermaine Defoe after biting Javier Mascherano during a Spurs v WHU match in 2006 and because the referee 'dealt' with the incident by booking both players, no further action was taken.

Someone mentioned role-models earlier in the thread. Perhaps Defoewas the role-model for Suarez:-)
