QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 3 2014, 03:42 PM) No, but some are absolutely intentional. What about violent conduct? Elbows? Intentional attacks?
Are they acceptable compared with biting?
I accept the alien nature of the act, but then Gary Lineker once did a sh*t on the pitch and wasn't punished for it... To be fair to the guy he had the runners (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 3 2014, 11:59 AM) So, if you committed an offence at your place of work, and they told you you could not engage in ANY work-related activities for 4 months except doing the job in your leisure in your spare time, you'd accept that as just?
That your work was actually telling you how to live your life for 4 months? I can accept a ban from playing but ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FOOTBALL RELATED INCLUDING PHOTOSHOOTS?! He's still getting paid right? In which case this does happen for regular people in the UK with gardening leave.

QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 4 2014, 12:41 AM) Ah, so he's banned from posting a letter too? Why would he be banned from posting a letter? He's just not allowed on the premises. It's the same as Suarez, he can play football, just not at any FIFA sanctioned arena. Unlike any normal person, Suarez is still being paid, can still play football with friends, family, etc. can still watch football, can still play FIFA. I wish I could be banned from work and still get to do all this stuff.

It's the same as Suarez, he can play football, just not at any FIFA sanctioned arena. He cannot take part in any football related activity. ANYTHING. The only thing he can do is play football privately. He can't even train at any club's private training facility. He can't take part in autograph sessions, can't spend time with his team mates while they're on club business, WHATEVER that is. That's draconian. And outwith what FIFA are really entitled to enforce on a person.

Like your parent company (Procter & Gamble) banning you but your employer (Pampers) still pays you.

That's draconian. And outwith what FIFA are really entitled to enforce on a person. Why are they? All clubs ultimately come under FIFA, they're stopping him, for a period, having him anything to do with their clubs and the clubs facilities. I think what some people are really missing is that this is the 3rd time he's done such a crazy thing. If this was a first offence, I would be completely with you on this. But a 3rd? If he was banned from football for life, he'd have no leg to stand on. If you can't get things right on a 2nd and 3rd chance, you dont deserve a 4th. At that point you're taking a piss.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Aug 4 2014, 02:10 PM) It's mostly because it's hard to be proven if there's any intent at all. Totti? Song's blatant elbow? Both 3 match bans. Suarez' first bite offence, 7. QUOTE Most tackles are grey, biting is clearly very black and white. With it being his 3rd time, the ban needed to be big, because quite clearly he isn't learning, is he? I agree, he needs help. And I accept the ban had to be big, but not totalitarian. It's also thoroughly inconsistent. He is banned from ALL FOOTBALL-RELATED ACTIVITY (except having a medical for a team, & signing for them). Can someone explain to me the logic behind the ban where he's banned from the world except bits of it?
