Some of it might stem from the lack of ambiguity in intent.

If you bite someone its a deliberate act to inflict pain on someone else, it's assault plain and simple.

A stray elbow, a late challenge with studs up can certainly do more damage, but it can be clumsy rather than vicious, and it can be very hard to tell which.


Effectively its part of the game. You can't ban tackling or jumping for the ball on the off-chance.


See also Cantona's kung fu kick.

I guess it depends on whether they can get their mojo going, they're still not looking world beaters, but they are improving, if they get past chile i still think they're favourites.

Other than that, who knows, I'm inclined to agree with your last 4, but it could easily be USA in that semi-final if argentina are indifferent again and Belgium haven't looked quite as tasty as people predicted.

you asked for a possible explanation ot a personal opinion.

The dirty challenge and pretence of innocence is morally the same as the challenge that's three yards away and the guy goes down to get the guy carded/penalty etc in my book.


As I've said a dozen times, it's the critical mass where 'gamesmanship' is almost more a part of the game than actually trying to, you know, kick the football, that has turned me off the sport at the higher levels.


I'd head down Champion Hill if I were you!!


Amazingly here are my local replacements, also Paul McGrath's local team!!



Go on you pink and blacks!

Rubbish. I get a bit shocked when my little girl comes back with bite marks (occasionally) from other 4 year olds; i'd be mortified if any of my kids did it; a 27 year old millionaire doing it in front of a global audience including many kids is a fooking disgrace.

Well said quids, the man is a head case and needs help, on the basis that he's done the same thing on 3 occasions, I think that is apparent to all.

what quids said


You can't cry "mob justice" everytime a large number people see something and say "that's not on"


No-one is picking on this guy - he is doing it to himself and has had repeated and escalating punishments already


Imagine if Wayne Rooney or Stevie G did it, 3 times over a number of years - do youthink they would play for their country again? I don't think so


he should stop crying, accept the punishment, get treatment and stop surrounding himself with people who allow him to continue like this

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
