How many times before you're banned for life? That's his 3rd time doing this.

Can't see him playing for anybody anytime soon. That's atrocious.

Liverpool will welcome him with open (yet bitten) arms. It's Liverpool after all.

That was a rugby team.

Thanks for the correction. I just assumed it was a soccer team. I just saw the movie. It appears the young men did with heavy hearts and with remorse.

You are obviously a fan which I support. I love hockey which most folks down here fall asleep watching. I question a few rules in hockey. Why the heck is the puck hard as hell? It keeps the dentist busy.

One of the most misunderstood rules in soccer is offsides. There has been a lot of discussion about changing the rule (soccer calls it law 11). I wouldn't be opposed to changing it to something similar to icing in hockey.

So a sport with thousands of years of history and who's rules were defined in 1869 with a governing body formed in 1904 should change to match sports that came along long after it did?

I personally think that is one of the great things about soccer. It is continuous flow without all the stoppage of some other sports.

But isn't that why there is "stoppage time"....the actual play did stop, they just don't stop the clock. Seems like a remnant of the technology available when the sport was originally developed. And now it's just a tradition, even though it's easy now to track the time stopping and starting. This has nothing to do with why I don't like to watch soccer, I just don't enjoy it....but it does seem strange.
