My point is that I barely remember the above incident happening and yet it looks pretty similar. IF another player had done this today, it wouldn't have generated the furore it has. Suarez should be punished, but the FA should be level headed and take above situations into account
Much higher profile game, as it's Sky's flagship show and not a 3pm Saturday game, and a far more controversial player.
The ref dished out a card to both Mascherano and Defoe, so the FA couldn't get involved. Defoe didn't go on to score the winner, either.
