@GAB,

Would there be a market in Ireland for the American method of carving up beef?

[mcnugget]

It's good that all the people who think otherwise are victims of sensationalism, would be a much tougher argument otherwise.

I meant those acts are sensational/unusual so will be looked at in a harsher light than more regular but also more damaging acts of foul play.

[eamonhonda]

Don't get me wrong whatever suarez gets Roy Keane deserved.

[Fiend]

Are people seriously doing the "won't someone think of the children" thing with Suarez? Kids are not going to suddenly start copy biting other kids. It's a uniquely Suarez thing to do. The man is a mentalist and will obviously be heavily banned again. No one has been seriously hurt. Talk of bans for life are sensationalist bollocks.

[Micknail]

elaborate on this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_of_beef#UK_cuts

I was getting at the different cuts of meat available to the American market due to their method of butchering the meat with a bandsaw down the middle and then horizontally.

Like the product could be 'Irish beef - American cuts' or something.

Possible range of ban if 'found guilty' of biting?

Would like to see what people feel is a good range there. Trying to get an over/unders market in work going.

[RasTa]

ah ok - there is no real difference. I think I referenced this in my 'Ask Me Anything About Meat' thread on here from a few years ago - some recollection of it coming up. Basically until 20 years ago that is how it was butchered in UK & Irl. The meat is fundamentally the same cuts - the consumer cant tell any difference.

Do you think USDA beef is of an acceptable quality? Compared to Europe

[Emmet]

Also, in fairness to him, the type of person 'more likely to bite people than Suarez', is primarily kids. They probably view him as a pussy that he's only bitten two people in two years.

3rd time in a little over 4 years now?

Suarez's rapsheet

Timeline of major events.

20/11/2010 Ajax v PSV -> Bites PSV's Otman Bakkal. 7 game ban
15/10/2011 Man Utd v Liverpool -> Racial abuses Man Utd's Patrice Evra. 8 game ban
21/04/2013 Chelsea v Liverpool -> Bites Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic. 10 game ban
24/06/2014 Uruguay v Italy -> Bites Italy's Giorgio Chiellini

Suarez's most recent effort

Absolutely not.

I reckon the most likely outcome is 1 year or 12 matches in international football.

[ArmaniJeans]

The camera angle on that gif is perfectly positioned.
Isn't there anything from a more obscure angle that we could use to cloak this whole affair in doubt?

[RasTa]

Well, summer is over.

OK thanks.

Wonder could you create a fad or niche market advertising ploy just rebranding the lesser known cuts with a fancy name and creating a buzz around them.

Also remember something called 'The Vegas Cut' coming out in America recently.
Basically wanted to mimic that over here.

Was july before it kicked off last year, let's hope

[Opr]

If this quote has any truth behind it then he could end up with a violent conduct ban which would be four games.

FIFA sources say Suárez' punishment has to reflect reality:"What's the difference between what he did & a head butt, or a deliberate elbow?"

One year and 12 matches in international football

Whats the longest Ban anyone has received in International football for a non doping/ Match fixing incident?

Someone seriously said to me last night that kids are going to go around biting each other now. Got a little heated between a few people so I stayed out of it but thought that was funny.

Sure don't they melt live animals in Tallaght for fun now.

[Micknail]

Cantona? Or was that due to jail?

[Flushdraw]

Cantona got 9 months for the kick and Joey Barton got 12 games for having a go at Aguero and Kompany when he was leaving the pitch i think? Di Canio got similar for pushing the ref.

Edit - didn't notice international ban

[RasTa]

^ International, I think it's 8.

the longest suspension FIFA has imposed for an offence in the World Cup was eight games for Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking Spain's Luis Enrique's nose in 1994 with an elbow.

[MegaSin]

Cantona got an 8 month ban and a 30k fine for kicking a fan and throwing a few digs. Surely having a nibble on Chiellini is a much lesser crime.

[MegaSin]

Cantona? Or was that due to jail?

Didn't he just do community service instead?

[davepoke/her]

From the gif Emmet posted it looks like all he's trying to do is lick his shoulder. Chiellini should get a longer ban for swinging the elbow at him. He could of killed him.

[eamonhonda]

Chiellini should have just punched the head off him like.rugby players do when they bite the faces Off each other. Couple of games ban a piece and we get on with it.

[AndyFatBastard]

Or they could have let them duke it out on the pitch like they do in hockey. Mindless violence puts bums on seats.

1 year is essentially 12 matches. Or makes much more sense in this situation than and does.

[Starvin Marvin]

10 games again seems reasonable to me.
Clearly he is an unhinged individual but any more than that would be too extreme imo.
In comparison Zidane got a 3 match ban for his World Cup final headbutt which was just as bad as this.

Can they enforce a league ban or just internationals?

FIFA can do whatever they want, they are THE governing body for world football

[Frossach]

World governing body FIFA is now investigating the matter and the 27-year-old could face a lengthy ban that could be extended to club football.

Theoretically it could apply to domestic football, but I'd be amazed. We should find out in the next day or so anyhow.

Pfff, can't even score every goal for your team in a World Cup, there goes Messi's legendary status #average

Same here re SPSS. Stata peeps would obv look down on your childish statistical software though. (who would in turn be looked down on by R junkies)

Nerd it up somewhere else, football's on.

He didn't score the first goal they scored at this world cup either. No Argentinian did, but it still counted for his team.

I have 2 seated tickets for Elbow in Kilmainham Hospital for tonight for Sale.

Seating section GA1 cost €111.20. Will take €90

I'm heading to Jack White tomorrow night, someone tell me it's not seated?

Doesn't specifically say seated but ticket says section GA1, Number G1 61.

Would really suck if it was seated
