    There are no legal issues. Worldwide ban is not a new thing and FIFA have the power to implement them.

    It's the internet, one of those is reactionary, another a bit tongue in cheek I'd have thought. Initially I didn't think they'd worldwide ban him but it started to dawn on me last night they would.

    We all expect some crazy posts in this type of thread. It's just odd when people try to deny that they exist.

    I'm still amazed that they went with a absolute ban. I'd love if we saw more bans like that.

    So you admit that people have been downplaying the incident and defending Suarez. But you want us all to know that nobody has been defending the incident? That is bullshít word play. You are making an complete tit of yourself.


    Nobody is defending the incident, ie there's nothing wrong with it.

    Some are down playing it, ie, saying it isn't as bad as some are making out.

    Not sure how you are so lost.

    I'll not stoop to your level with snide remarks.

    Fair play to Dunphy. Spoke a lot of sense in the last 10 mins.

    He's talking shyte. Entire panel incredibly naive about how dangerous bites are. Ffs, we put animals down for biting humans and human/ape bites are arguably worse and more serious.

    It's RTE's panel trying to be different and edgy to everybody else again. Pity someone can't teach the three OAPs (Giles, Brady and Dunphy) the player's names instead of trying to be radical.

    Dunphy does not speak sense ever. When you find yourself agreeing with Dunphy should be the point where you realise that you were wrong all along.

    And I don't even know what he said.

    He was talking absolute ****e.

    Pure whataboutery.

    Seems no-one can take responsibility for their actions nowadays because someone else done this and that.

    I hope FIFA 15 add in the ability to bite players when playing with Suarez. Add to the realism and all that.

    I doubt we will. Costa will be an interesting watch in the PL and the rest of the WC that's for sure. I never understood headbutting tbh.

    Remember Dunphy also played down the infamous Keane-Halland tackle. Enough said.

    The real shame lies with the Uruguay FA and the many prominent Uruguayans that came out trying to play it down. Shocking and an absolute disgrace. Defending the indefensible.

    But comparisons will always be made, sure football bodies make them to decide bans. Fifa obviously brought his previous into account. It probably was fair enough, not worth a season, 3 year or lifetime ban!

    I don't think we'll be seeing much of Costa again in this world cup. Unless he has declared for Brazil recently.

    Then you have your man on rt e claiming because it's not that big a deal to bite someone in Uruguay we should relax and not be so upset.

    There desperate because they want to win. I don't blame them. We got pretty desperate with the Henry handball. They had a big chance of getting to a final with Suarez in the side.

    Some are downplaying the incident, saying it isn't as bad as a tackle, or diving or feigning injury. That's not the same as saying it isn't as bad as some are making it out, that's downplaying the incident purely for the sake of defending Suarez.

    Costa isn't half the talent that Suarez is either. Which takes away from the psychotic genius thing.

    My original post
    Not many defending it.

    Some downplaying it? Perhaps

    You just agreed with it again, thanks.

    how can you compare our unfortune with uruguays player screwing them over.

    we went mad as we were hard done by a cheating frenchman, uruguays star man viciously assaulted by biting a man there is no comparison

    True, but he may seem reasonable in comparison to FIFA.

    My eyes roll every time someone refers to Suarez as a genius. Anyone who has a history of biting other players and then bites someone in the biggest and most watched football tournament, is far from a genius.

    Even in footballing terms, he is a great striker, his movement off the ball is fantastic, and he is a fantastic finisher. But genius?

    Sadlier made a good comment (lost in the ensuing 'analysis/debate') that his career was ended by a bad injury from a tackle that wasn't a bad one. Interesting giving all the strawman debates about whether you'd rather a bite or a leg breaker.

    You don't get that choice. the worst injuries don't come from intentional bad tackles, they come from clumsy tackles, from fair ones, from awkward falls, and from feet planting in the ground (i did my own knee that way). No matter what way you feel about the Suarez one, comparing it to incidents causing bad injuries is clutching at straws. Very difficult to prove a player intentionally did someone, bar the very very obvious ones (Keane, Thatcher's elbow, Shawcross on Ramsey).

    33rd team in the WC. Seriously, nationalism, football and politics makes people do dumb things.

    Are you saying we were right to appeal to be the 33 team in the World Cup.

    I compared both incidents as in the desperation both organisations completely overlooked how crazy their arguments came across.

    I wouldn't lump that Shawcross incident in there with those 2.

    the irish argument whilst seeming mad deserved to be looked at ie a replay of game but it was crazy looking to be 33rd team. the uruguayans are mental looking to have essentially a guy who viciously assaulted someone reinstated.

    its massively different and you know it is

    but both countries were indeed desperate

    Yeah, you're probably right, especially at the speed its at. Shows how you can't really judge whether anything is meant to intentionally break someone.
