We heard the same rhetoric from Suarez Lawyers in the run up to his racism charges.
That 'solid defence' turned out to be utter bollocks too.

Suarez bites | "sorry for falling into him and biting him and that"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Casual play? Almost shut eye... My god... This can't be real.. And they have a bit too high picture of themselves, all world is out to get them, especially the hosts..
Cheers, just incredible the amount of shite they are coming out with to defend a horrible individual.
They live in a cuckoo land if they think they stand any chance against Brazil. They're lucky to have progressed from their group. Barely scrapped a win against disillusioned England, farced their win against Italy and lost convincingly to Costa Rica.
"You turn into a right diva when you're hungry"
That sort of attitude should see them right. What could possibly go wrong?
He will get a 6 game ban from internationals. This talk of a domestic ban is far fetched.
"You're all a bunch of f*cking assholes who are just making this up because you're scared of us."
I wonder how much his lawyer charges?
I wonder how much his lawyer charges?
Words fail me.
That's the only angle FIFA is worrying about right now, that's for sure.
I would be stunned if his ban is shorter than it was for his 2nd instance of biting.
Perhaps, people are actually being wishful while demanding a domestic ban.
But only 6 games for country? After 7 for Ajax and 10 for Liverpool for the same offence? The ban HAS to be greater than 10 games, for sure.
No it isn't.
So that lawyer's logic is: Suarez is a rock in the shoe for many, and Suarez maybe bit Chielini casually but Chielini, the bastard, almost made Suarez blind on one eye.. So Suarez isnt guilty... Mental..
And the best part is Brasil is afraid of them, is if they'll beat Colombia without making a sweat..

When he receives his ban he will no doubt "retire" from International football in protest at this horrendous witchhunt.
I wonder if Chielini will be in trouble too? Ref didn't see that either. My guess is 10 game international ban for Sewerat and a game for Chielini.
Anything less then a year ban will be lightly.
I would be surprised. He reacts to being bitten.
Intl ban will last longer due to playing less internationals. Domestic bans last months.
You cannot bring Rio situation into this as WADA and the UKADA were all over it and FA made it a ridiculous ban.
Suarez will get off lightly.
As all Liars/Lawyers he is conflating the incident and denying it in the same breath. I wouldn't expect anything less from a Liar.
From the Confed Cup 2013, that bite was planned a long time ago
I disagree that Suarez has a psychological disorder (although he should get help), me personally, I think all of his actions so far that have been deliberate and controlled. He knows exactly what he's doing - it always happens when either his team's in trouble, or when he's being snuffed out of the game by a good defender. Each time he's been caught biting (and I emphasize the word 'caught' because I have little doubt that he's done it more than 3 times, but that it's either gone unnoticed, or there's been no conclusive proof), it's clearly been done to get a reaction from the defender, after which Suarez throws himself to the ground, feigns injury, and claims he's been elbowed. There's nothing uncontrolled about that. Also, with his other nasty fouls (which is a compilation video on youtube), he always looks to see where the ref is/that he's looking the other way, before he stamps on a player's foot/ankle, or rakes his studs down a player's calf. Instantly, up go his hands and his face contorts into a 'shock/horror' expression, as he pleads innocence/accident. And it's the same thing every time. There's nothing uncontrolled about that, either. I hope that FIFA will throw him out of the World Cup immediately, because I seriously doubt that the Uruguay NT coach, or their FA will have the honesty, or courage to do it themselves (because with him gone, so goes any chance they have of winning the thing). I hope that the UK media now hounds him out of the country, and that the refs do their bit by consistently punishing him. He should be under total scrutiny. Now I'm just waiting for a statement from the Liverpool camp which
Cantona was banned for eight months worldwide for something that while inexcusable was at least a human action. A dog that bites someone a third time after being punished the first two time is normally put down. And it is in a dogs nature to bite as opposed to a humans. If Suarez doesn't learn this after being punished twice, he will not learn it after a third time. He clearly isn't able to think straight. He should be sent to a psychiatrist, only being allowed to play once he is psychologycally stable. His ban should be a minimum of one year long with the addition that Liverpool can terminate the contract with him if they want to.
You really really don't understand what little he had to work with in 2006. Where he has got us is a great achievement. Sorry it doesn't meet your tikitaka-meter, but it's what we can serve.
No, that Ghana press conference should have been a bit more about the enirety of the game, the achievement and the game to look forward to and not completely derailed by people screaming murder at the handball incident, as if the red and suspension for the next semi wasn't a huge punishment to pay for a non-existent free kick followed by two offsides before the handball.
Of course he will be pissed off when, after beating both England and Italy, against the odds, the first three questions he gets are in English and banging on about Suarez, again.
Get some perspective FFS, we have less than half the population of London, I can understand the man for being unhappy. You watch Brazilian TV here and they all find time for Suarez but also to repeat, endlessly, how shocking it is that a small country like that keeps getting itself in the mix and punching above their weight. That's a bit more balanced and fair, don't you think? It's not like it isn't a team sport and, frankly, it wasn't Suarez winning that yesterday, there were at least 4-5 players who played better than him.
And you are the one who doesn't want any more World Cups in South America, right?
OK, I see where you are coming from.
What Cantona did was much worse.
In fairness he caught a bit of an elbow yesterday but considering that he'd just bit the fella, the elbow was certainly derserved.
No it wasn't. Not if you take all factors in to consideration.
We are so fecked it's unreal. This chap was taken off the plane I was flying to Natal in. His seat had been double-booked somehow and his powers of argumentation went as far as him walking off the plane in ten minutes and the entire thing taking half an hour before we finally took off. Without him.
retaliation is looked upon badly usually
Were this the first time Suarez put the bite on someone I'd be inclined to agree. As this instance is the third time, it's virtually equal to that kung-fu kick.
Did I ever say that? No, I didn't. Read the thread before making any assumptions. It was a fair questions that needs to be asked. Can't believe people on here most of the time, probably the most unfriendly football forum I have come across yet.
@louvega I agree. But he only did it once. That's the nature of every intelligent animal. Make a mistake - get punished - don't do it again. Suarez doesn't agree with that though.
Usually, yes. I would call these circumstances highly UNusual, though. Someone bites you your obvious reaction is to try and get them the hell off you.
Brazil is afraid of us, they always are. We've beaten them with far worse teams.
You clearly haven't been to Brazil, or their Football Museum in SP. Well worth a visit, you will walk out and realise they are paranoid about two things: Uruguay and the French. The latter is more a cultured observation but they consider them their permanent bogey team while Uruguay is the one that captures the imagination of the masses (where the players emerge from).
The argument is flawed, mind
It's not like Chiellini could just stand there patiently and wait for Suarez to finish his meal. He had to do something.
You only get a three match ban for breaking a player's leg.
Best one yet.
"You turn into a right diva when you're hungry"
No way, it's a natural reaction to try shake it off.
he needs 12 month ban from football to seek psychiatric help.
