Mark Clattenburg will be returning to Stamford Bridge on Sunday for the first time since the racism claims.
 
Luis Suarez has, inevitably, been charged with violent conduct. The interesting bit will be how many games he will be banned for.
 
The FA says: "The charge follows an incident with Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in Sunday's fixture at Anfield.

"The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed. It is alleged that the conduct of Suarez constitutes violent conduct and it is The FA's contention that the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient in these circumstances."

Can't claim to be a practicing psychologist, however I did work in the field of mental health for 35 years as a professional with 2 qualifications. More importantly I have a young relative who is currently going through the 'terrible twos' where, occasionally if she feels wronged a temper tantrum ensues, this is normal. Kindly but firmly boundaries have to be set so that she remains safe and when things have quietened the opportunity for emotional learning and growth can happen. It seems to me that biting is not unknown in the angst of some who are experiencing the 'terrible twos'. Of course the problem here is that the biter isn't two. It is possible that he never had consistent boundaries set at that stage in his development and as such does not have the emotional maturity to deal with such flash points that most games of football produce. My understanding is that 'anger management' provides opportunity for recognising the triggers that lead to flash points and devising strategies to cope. This form of 'therapy' requires some intelligence and a degree of motivation to change. Also part of the strategies to cope might include avoiding potential flash points. This might prove difficult for a premiership footballer where aggression, controlled anger, is part of the game. Other therapy might include helping someone explore what some might term the deeper reasons for their anger and why they are partially stuck emotionally at a very early age when they are thwarted, this approach would involve longer term therapy.. I doubt there are easy fixes.

Thanks for taking the trouble. Interesting reading.

Well isn't that strange, as by their own agreement with the PL and FL, I believe the FA couldn't take any action which was previously missed by the officials..! :)

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. So he faces the death penalty.

Can't say I support that, though it sounds like he'd tried to kill himself anyway considering he has a bullet hole in the back of his throat. Hopefully they're getting some information out of him first.

It's not actually very spoilery. This one is though, just to tempt you, I'll put the most amazing bit of the episode in.

[nsfw]Not really, I just wanted to see if curiosity got the better of you.[/nsfw]
 
Haha maybe I should just disconnect my router for the next couple of hours.
