Another newspaper Liverpool fans will boycott reading now because they say something negative about LFC.

Again, really no need... I am too young to feel what many do about certain newspapers but we all know the reason Liverpool fans are so against The Sun is because they lied about people dying at a football game

Well then dont get so heated up because another newspaper has put a slightly altered picture of a bite mark that an employee who is idolized by many idiots. Just check RAWK to see that. It's hardly the same context as The Sun. My remark was a saracastic jibe at you for making it such a big deal over a picture in a tabloid newspaper. It's what tabloids do. Sensationalise stories. Have you have only just realised that.

Is that the fake image? You said daily mail and I checked the back pages of that paper online.

Essentially, theres a law against that. I can't quite remember what it's called - and I should because I learnt it only a couple of months ago - but essentially it's protecting people from prejudice, because planting a giant doctored image on your front/back page with a big headline about it and a tiny explanatory comment below can be massively damaging to someone's reputation if the person who sees it doesn't read the paper and instead just catches a glance. And it's a good law; my dad knows hardly anything about football, but he does pick up bits and pieces. He'd be exactly the kind of person to notice the headline and picture but not be bothered to look at the context. And that's why this kind of behaviour shouldn't be - and generally isn't - allowed. Wouldn't be surprised if DM get investigated for this.

Didn't know about the law but headline clearly says fans made fun of the incident with these pics. Not sure if it is against law or something as I'm not aware of it.

I said the Daily Mirror, have a read back - the headline doesn't clearly say that because you are looking at the wrong paper haha

I think that is slightly unfair on Uruguay, them getting through was nothing to do with Suarez's actions this time

If anything it was a man who should have been sent off in the previous match

He should have been sent off after the incident. With Uruguay down to 10 men, I highly doubt they would have gone on to score and win the game thereby allowing Italy to go through. Yet Suarez remained on the pitch, Uruguay scored and they are in the round of 16. Funny how one incident can change the entire equation of the game

The referee/assistant can never see a bite, especially when it was off the ball.. Uruguay deserved to win the game and Italy were second best. It had nothing to do with Suarez on this occasion

Oh yeah I thought you said daily mail.

Again is that the photoshopped picture? Because I thought it was more or less the same one.

So I'm really not sure if I missed something. And I didn't say I want every paper to post fake pictures to make matter worse, just that I don't mind them posting the funny pics on backpages.

Didnt Suarez have a go at the English media for 'persecuting' him and how that motivated him to win the match against England ... Glad to see him receiving some of his own medicine. Serves him right for attempting to twist the situation so much and now the English media are doing the same

Whether they deserved it or not is besides the point though ... Suarez deserved to be sent off and if he was, the whole game would have probably turned out very differently

Exactly. For no reason he just had a go at media when they even voted him as best player so he deserves all the **** from media.

Again not with fake pictures but there is no need to use fake ones and the real ones are so clear.

LFCMarshall said:
Yeah, it is photoshopped

Why do you say that? Because for me it looks real one.

Can you post the real one then, lets see how the real one looks.
 
Someone commented on another forum that if FIFA only ban Suarez from international matches, his value will probably increase even higher since he will be free from international duties for a while. That's pretty scare to contemplate

That's ******* hilarious. At this point Liverpool must be ecstatic: everyone already hated Suarez so any loss in his reputation is irrelevant, plus fewer people will want him, PLUS if someone does want him his value will be even higher!
 
The point is he still bit Chiellini. Everyone knows this who saw the game which is over a billion tv viewers worldwide. I dont think a picture that has been altered a little is going to make a difference to Suarez's defence of the matter. I have seen so many Liverpool fans over social media trying to find the slightest little thing to defend the actions of a so called proffesional who goes around biting another fellow sportsman. Moaning about a picture is not going to make the slightest difference.

No-one is defending Suarez or if they are they really shouldn't be.

He bit a person, he deserves a ban. This is more about ethics of the media than it is Suarez himself

The media have no ethics and never will. Especially tabloid newspapers but that is a thread worthy of it's own.
 
A little photoshop shouldn't make a difference.
