World Cup 2014

When does fifa 2015 come out?

NickB, that's indeed what was mentioned, that it was his third time already.

Oh fuck right off, that's an outrage

Also banned from signing new contracts til October?

I know id go fucking insane if fifa comes out and i am banned from it

Xp

Oh fuck right off, that's an outrage

There's only one person to blame, and that's the mentalist himself. Nobody makes him keep biting people.

ah well same as last season really.

Have FIFA announced if they're doing retrospective punishments for Sakho and Giroud?

Or does video evidence only apply to Suarez?

dunno how many people did they bite?

> Have FIFA announced if they're doing retrospective punishments for Sakho and Giroud?

and shearer?

There's whoever handed down this absurd punishment to blame too

As long as we're clear on what will and won't be subject to video review fair enough. Seems a strange criteria that elbowing an opponent if not spotted by the ref means no further sanction, but as long as they stick with that okay.

Or it's Suarez's fault for, y'know, biting someone. Again. You'd think he might have noticed it's frowned upon the last two times he did it and got banned, it's not exactly surprising

cmon you can't lay the blame on suarez. he's being singled out! other people did things. three bites is hardly any over a period of several years

lolz

for this re:teeth much thanks

not surprisingly lenient, but still lenient imo

It's Suarez's fault for biting, someone else's for overpunishing.

great value though, total legend #footballlad

i don't have an issue with him getting banned for a bit (ha ha), but, eg, if this had happened in august that would net out to a half-season absence from league play

xp's Isn't it 3 bites in four years now? he's stepping it up! Sakho should get a ban for sure mind you, Liverpool lucky England are out of the cup so they've got some players left for next season

FIFA cannot ban for a specific number of domestic games afaik xp

i don't think the FA will add to this, but i think they could if they wanted to (e.g. if FIFA had just sent him home from the world cup i'm sure they would have done)

great stuff at https://twitter.com/RAWK_Meltdown as per

It means he will miss the first nine games of the Premier League season.

v presumptuous

like

if LFC haven't written a "we don't pay you for suspension" into his contract by now, that's on them

but it is shitty that they bear the brunt of this

but then eh bytimes their defence of this guy has been shitty in itself.

not being able to sell the clown is harsh, but otherwise the risks of owning a liability are risky film (doctored) at 11

Uruguayan fa would be lucky to escape censure beyond this for their behaviour since imo

IK - you could get some T-shirts printed up?

is 'not being able to sell' confirmed?

Can you all shut the fuck up with the whole there's no difference between elbowing and biting? Though it's not desired, you do expect a certain rough and tumble around the ball. This rough and tumble is expected to come in certain forms, like shoves and elbows. Biting is outside this expectation. It also, unlike an elbow, but like the spitting someone mentioned before, is able to transfer communicable disease. It is both worse as a risk and worse for being further outside expected behaviour. It is qualitatively different. Idk, it's like if a boxer punched someone in the balls, you'd all be arguing, 'but it's only a punch, why isn't every punch treated this way?'. Because good reasons. Now shhh.

FIFA in not getting a thing right non-shockah.

Eh I've hardly been one-eyed when it comes to his past offences, but this is stupidly harsh

idk, the only people I've seen saying he's being overpunished are liverpool fans so

Because good reasons

Get to fuck with that

is de facto identical to his previous bans for the same offence IK. do you think those were harsh?

IK i frankly can't believe you are arguing that with a straight face. caek otm this is just on the lenient side of the line.

i expected 6 months tbh, it clearly isn't harsh given his recidivism

nobody shd shut up about the tolerance extended to other forms of assault in the game, as long as we accept this is a separate and justified case

there is something iffy in an arbitrary application of post-game evidence - so codify it

de facto how? It's four months from all football.

I don't think it's harsh. It's the *third* time he committed the same offence he's been punished for before. What it is, is extremely stupid and mental. He needs professional help or he'll just do it again next year. (please bite Gerrard next time)

it's summer. he's going to miss the same number of club games as the last time he did this.

do you seriously think he shouldn't also miss the rest of the world cup?

xp

I mean J.Terry

xp

he should stop biting people

That was on club duty though, this isn't.

What it is, is extremely stupid and mental
^
this is key

baffling xp

Obviously he should miss the next round, assuming it was a bite.

Does it matter? It's football. He's a football player. He committed the crime while playing football. Why does it matter if it wasn't in the domestic league?

xxxp

assuming it was a bite.

Ok, you're just trolling now.

Only mourn for what would've been a pretty great match with Colombia.

But yeah the x number of games should cover the international fixtures.
