Liverpool fan at work was saying it would be five

I said at the time, he`ll get more it`s his second offence. The bloke may be a brilliant player but he has some serious issues and probably need help.

        I'd say that plenty of pros do try and hurt each other (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 24, 16:37:59
        
        Then surely the issuse is that their punishment isn't harsh enough? (Other Football) - mr chimp, Apr 24, 16:39:43
        
        it's hard to judge intent with tackles though unless it's clear. Here it's easy obviously (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 24, 16:43:48

  - I disagree (Other Football) - emmaroyds, Apr 24, 16:20:48
    - No, fair enough (Other Football) - norway, Apr 24, 16:24:41
      - Liverpool fan at work was saying it would be five (Other Football) - emmaroyds, Apr 24, 16:28:24

      - Let's hope we play them while he's still banned (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Man, Apr 24, 16:25:24
    - Lots of people are basing their opinions on comparisons with other offences (Other Football) - King, Apr 24, 16:23:32
      - Suarez himself has a precendent for biting (albeit in Holland) (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Apr 24, 16:36:51
      - so if the ref had seen it and booked Suarez (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Apr 24, 16:28:11
        
        As far as I recall that's always been the rule (Other Football) - King, Apr 24, 16:34:38
        
        it's a bit silly. They need to bite the bullet and retrospectively correct decisions (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 24, 16:36:26
        
        Yes they do (Other Football) - Old Man, Apr 24, 16:38:27
        
        the whole "can't undermine a ref's authority" thing is a farce (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 24, 16:41:40
        
        Personally I think it's a good idea (Other Football) - King, Apr 24, 16:50:56
        
        You'd need a materiality threshold (Other Football) - Old Man, Apr 24, 16:50:39
        
        agreed, this partially answers King's point above (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Apr 24, 17:04:36
        
        I can`t disagree with that (Other Football) - emmaroyds, Apr 24, 16:48:13
    - For me it's the comparison with what Terry got that really doesn't stack up (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Man, Apr 24, 16:21:54
      - I agree on that point and that`s where things need to change (Other Football) - emmaroyds, Apr 24, 16:24:18
  - Why? (Other Football) - King, Apr 24, 16:20:07
