We are punishing the man and not helping him overcome his addiction. By not legalising the biting of others, we are simply pushing it underground and stigmatizing the very people who need our sympathy.

In more advanced civilisations, like Sweden, there are 5 a side pitches where vulnerable and large toothed players can quite openly bite each other in a safe environment, under careful supervision of course.
 
Is it LFC in victim mode though? Would any other club manager not wish to express such feelings when an obvious star player has just been given a ban which bears no consistency from the people imposing it. As in any big business the manager will want to protect his revenue stream as much as possible and there lies another problem, the game is no longer a sport but a multi million pound conglomerate, where winning at whatever cost means ruthless individuals keep their jobs by fair means or foul and the shareholders and backers are kept happy

I am always loathe to enter into the fray on soccer matters because it ain't my thing man, but from an outside's view point having looked at what he has done and then compared it with the other offences listed on the Sky site, it does appear he has been somewhat differently treated. Tellingly, I notice on the BBC website that TV pundit Robbie Savage (who from things I have read is no lover of things Liverpudlian) holds the same view.

The lad has issues and with my soapbox to hand, I would say that is a lot to do with idolatry status thrust upon a kid from the mean streets of South America (or London or France etc) and being constantly told he is the next Messiah. It must have an effect on behaviour when you can read about a star player shooting an apprentice with an air rifle and getting away with a half hearted naughty boy statement. Like the great dictators if you are surrounded by people telling you what they think you want to hear, you will get a bit power mad and an invincibility complex.

I have read with interest news reports at the time of other outrageous player antics and there appears no tariff system in place. There has to be consistency in any retributional system of discipline or you get this kind of perceived bias.

My view is simple. Shove an official - you ain't playing the beautiful game for a long long time if ever again my boy. Two foot an opponent - have six months because that is potentially career threatening ABH/GBH. Bite someone (again) and you do not put the shirt on until you have been assessed and rehabilitated and signed off as not barking mad.

Alternatively, get an independant body to assess the severity of an action based upon known values and impose an appropriate punishment. We could call this body the Police, the CPS and the courts. If a player wants to be a thug for 90 minutes he should be prepared for a spell in chokey as any normal person would. That cleans up the game and sends a powerful message out to kids.

I spend a lot of time shaking my head in disbelief at the way Soccer is and unfortunately the way my own sport of Rugby Union seems to be heading. The acceptance of responsibility for one's actions seems a long forgotten basic tenet of life and I for one lament the whole situation

Football unfortunately mirrors the society who it mostly represents, in spite of attempts to shift its fanbase in recent years. Defiance in the face of wrongdoing, lack of responsibility and deliberate disobedience of rules and laws are commonplace and so its no surprise this gets reflected in the game.
Many football fans don't care what other people think of their club or players - the Millwall 'nobody likes us' syndrome. In fact, the more 'shocking' they can appear to be the more fun it is. Then there's the 'look over there, they are worse' irrational thinking. And persistent standing and more recently letting off flares - Liverpool today issued a statement saying it had recieved reports that its fans were letting them off at away games! What a joke, I've been stood downwind of the ruddy things at matches this year and its been going on for weeks; why wait for 'reports' to be recieved before even saying anything (doing anything is far too difficult), why not act when the incidents are clearly seen on TV? And why not close the stands that persistent standing occurs in, thats not just Liverpool but most grounds these days.
I'm slowly losing my affection for this game I've followed for over 40 years, I've decided to chuck in my ticket and stop attending matches next season because I'm not comfortable paying so much money for this constant circus.

[Edit] - Well at least there's been no appeal. Move along.

"CRAZIEST UNSTABLE HUMAN" is an anagram of "LUIS SUAREZ TEN MATCH BAN"
 
Mike Tyson got a lifetime ban (later reduced to a year) and a $3 million fine for biting. 10 games for a second offence seems fair.

Doesn't satisfy enough of Pulis's ideal footballer criteria I'm afraid. :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Nasty Fruitloop of a Cnut - CHECK

Ability to hurl the ball from one side of the pitch to the other at throw-ins - FAIL

Has no discernable ball-skill abilities - FAIL

Not being 6ft plus also stops him getting into Stoke's team:PDT_Xtremez_14:
