Suarez's dive

That's poor. He's normally much more realistic.

The show isn't aimed at the British market though, its designed for America

I think it was a mistake to show it here, but I'm sure it will attract a lot of US fans .

Why? What's he done wrong?

Broke the rules.
As did two other prolific Football Forum posters, so they were banned too.

[Ferg]

3 Permanent bans in the last two weeks.

[Ferg]

It's not hard to see.
In the meantime, please keep this first post in mind, Gentlemen.

Mods, if I might make a suggestion; have you considered publishing bannings, ie name, where banned from, how long for and why?

Fact is, I definitely haven't got time. Reading all the Football Threads on a regular basis to make sure the content is acceptable is enough for me. As Gaz said UF, Thom and Audi were banned. This was for breaking the rules.

Hoping for a goal fest for Liverpool.

Marty McFly? Is that you?

Watched MOTD this morning and was amazed at how wasteful Suarez was. He seems very hot and cold perhaps like Liverpool themselves at the moment. I have to agree with Harry, or was it Shearer, that it will come together and much as I find Rogers an odd sort of bloke I think he's got a vision and feels it's achievable...I hope he gets the time required. If Suarez puts away the chances he makes for himself I can see why AC might not play another game for LFC particularly if Sterling keeps things rocking like he did yesterday.

Not bad for a mod, eh? You'd think something a little less inflationary would be in order.

Smart Mart being a mod has NO bearing on what he says on the forums.
ONCE AGAIN...if you have a problem with a post report it, if you have a problem with MODERATION e-mail Paul Garlick... sheeesh.

[Ferg]

Why mention it at all? It has no bearing. Either report the post if you aren't happy, or don't mention it at all. And call me 'dear' again and you're banned.

Worthy of a comment,

It wasn't.

CaptainSlow said:

Would Levy.... have someone like that at their club?

I very much doubt it. I certainly wouldn't want him...I was sceptical about Adebayor, but at least he hasn't done anything terrible (apart from hang around on the wing too much when we need a centre-forward).

[Ferg]

Sorry. What has Gareth Bale got to do with a racist who bites other players?

Sharpen up, Mate. You can harp on about my attitude to Bale with your 'oh-so-clever' little quips all you want, but it doesn't help.

hornetrider said:

You've been whinging about players going over after 'contact' ie diving, which is what is under discussion here, amongst other things. But defending Bale for the very same. Funny st.

Where in this discussion have I mentioned diving? My comment, if you care to read it, is about whether Levy would want Suarez. I said I wouldn't. You read my mind as to what offended me about him, got it wrong and, as is your way, chose to take a pot-shot with whatever little thing you felt you could.
Then moaned and said, "Funny st" whatever the fk that means.

2seas said:

it really is sad to start labelling suarez a racist and you should be ashamed of yourself. it's a very abusive statement.

What was he banned for then?

[Ferg]

2seas said:

you either know this and are being deliberately obtuse. or you are just ignorant.

Or I believe that someone who uses a racist insult IS racist.
That's a matter for everyone to make their own judgement on. I'm not being dictated to by the FA as to what constitutes a racist.
But if it helps to clarify things and align the comment more with your own view and that of the FA, you can substitute my comment in my original post with: "What has Gareth Bale got to do with someone who uses racist insults and who bites other players?" It still makes my point very clearly.

2seas said:

ever made a joke about an irishman or a scotman?

No. I abhor the racial segregation of anyone. I think these things are a matter of personal conscience and NOT to be defined by the ruling body of a sport.

digger_R said:

Isn't this is flogging a dead horse?

It's my reason for not wanting Luis Suarez at my club. It's my opinion. Apparently it makes me either 'deliberately obtuse or ignorant'. I'm quite happy to defend myself against that accusation.

GLENRED said:

Anyone remember the last time we won a penalty?

Yep. It was when an offence had actually been committed. HTH.
