Totally fruity

If I were take a bite out of Graham Norton's arm would that count as 1 of my 5-a-day?

Maybe I have missed something in the Luis Suarez debate. If a member of the public were to turn to the person sitting next to them on a bus and take a bite out of their shoulder then the impression that I get is that this could either be construed as Common Assault or Actual Bodily Harm, dependent on the motivation for the attack and the extent of any injury. The more serious crime (ABH) could carry with it a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. At the very least you would expect someone who attacks an innocent bystander for no apparent reason to be detained for psychiatric evaluation.

I can't conceive any good reason for anyone to bite another person let alone on a football pitch in front of a 45,000 witnesses. I take my hat off to Branislav Ivanovic for showing such restraint but cannot understand how respected officials and commentators can view that the punishment handed down to Luis Suarez by Liverpool Football Club and the FA as harsh.

Even the most ardent Liverpool supporter would find it difficult to justify Suarez's actions. There is no place for this kind of behaviour in society or sport, especially a sport with such global appeal.

The fact that all the attention has been focused on this moment of madness instead of the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster and the tributes being paid to those that have fought for justice for the victims is disappointing.  

The lad may have a great talent in his feet but there is definitely a screw loose in his head. This is not the first time that he has taken a bite at a player and controversy seems to dog him wherever he goes. To argue that the 10 match ban is harsh, that it is disproportionate to the crime and should only have been 3 matches is ridiculous. To claim that Suarez is being targeted because he is high profile, he's a foreigner or has previous form is equally ridiculous. What he did is a commit a senseless crime, why should it be treated any different just because it happened on a football pitch and the perpetrator happens to have a rare talent? 

So he gets to spend a few weeks sitting at home watching his colleagues and bemoaning the loss of a month's pocket money. Go get yourself some treatment Mr. Suarez and be thankful that you have been treated considerably more leniently than most individuals who have committed such a similarly sickening attack.
