    Change the record, warky, ffs, because you're beginning to sound as much of a numbskull as the 'player' you seek to defend (against so much indefensible evidence it makes you look stupid)

    Have no idea what 'work' entails - nor frankly could I give a toss, but if it's something along the lines of "sports psychologist" I shall be totally amazed.

    There are many in the game that believe the punishment for Suarez has been much too harsh including the unfortunate Italian player!

    Chiellini has said a stadium ban is harsh because it alienates the player. His statement does not specifically disagree with any other part of the ban.

    Wrong!

    He goes onto say that the ban is excessive!

    I could never be a teacher! There are only so many times you can point out to a stupid boy that he is wrong before you just have to hit him over the head with a ****ing big stick! Stupid boy!!!!!!

    From Chiellini's website:

    "Now inside me there's no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch and that's done. There only remain the anger and the disappointment about the match.

    At the moment my only thought is for Luis and his family, because they will face a very difficult period.

    I have always considered unequivocal the disciplinary interventions by the competent bodies, but at the same time I believe that the proposed formula is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be allowed, at least, to stay close to his team mates during the games because such a ban is really alienating for a player."

    Along with his post-game comments:

    "It was ridiculous not to send Suarez off. It is clear, clear-cut and then there was the obvious dive afterwards because he knew very well that he did something that he shouldn&#8217;t have done. Suarez is a sneak and he gets away with it because FIFA want their stars to play in the World Cup. I'd love to see if they have the courage to use video evidence against him. The referee saw the bite mark too, but he did nothing about it"

    Chiellini only argues directly against the stadium ban, any disagreement he has with the length of the ban is not explicitly stated. And in any case, the ban will have factored in Suarez's previous actions, so it was always going to be longer than after the Ivanovic incident.

    Hopefully they will extend the ban for a frivolous appeal!

    And so, after a fair and hard fought bout, the two protagonists hold hands and although agreeing to differ, wander off together into the nights sky.

    Adios chaps, thanks for the entertainment. <badger> Hey, mind that set!

    It was the wandering off together into the night sky that really caught my eye.

    It's cool, I'm not here to judge. <ok>

    The wronged player just getting on with things, the perpetrator rolling around as if shot.

    It does have a familiar ring to it. <laugh>

    Yes,once again I'm with the Warkster on this (Shurely shome mishtake) The nature of the offence has seen it blown out of all proportion.OK Suarez needs therapy agreed but it wasn't any worse than an elbow in the mush.In fact if you think about it far less serious potentially.

    There is an element of unreasonable hate because he knocked England out more or less on his own.Personally I will miss his extraordinary talent.Although I will admit he's a ****.

    I don't hate him more because he knocked England out, we deserved to go out because we were ****.

    People seem to think his behaviour is acceptable because his talented, but the fact is if you do something like that then you deserve to be punished no matter how good the player is. If Messi or Ronaldo etc did the same thing, I'd expect the same thing.

    I'm sure if you bite someone 3 times where you work, you'd most likely get fired, I don't see why it should be different just because it's football. It's alarming Uruguay gave him a ''Heroes'' welcome, it's no wonder why he thinks he's the victim and did nothing wrong when they don't think he did anything wrong.
