I agree. Defenders get away with murder when defending set pieces. Not sure why refs just blow the whistle..
The Giroud incident is a very good point and he should be used as another example and possibly be banned for violent conduct. The difference between that and Suarez though is that you still dont expect to be bitten when you enter the field of play. If you are winding up any player you can expect a elbow a punch or a dangerous challenge and it should also be dealt with but to be bitten is something different.

It's quite amusing because i would rather be bitten in relation to a potential injury, yet it is such a strange and out of place thing to do it gets a worse reaction. And rightly so, of course

From the looks of the video Giroud tries to gouge his eye out. It's just lucky the defender took it like a man and didn't go down. I do see how that is any more acceptable, whether provoked or not.

Suarez is a big difference, because of his past, but biting is just a strange thing to do. It gets a different reaction
You can potentially get a serious injury from a human bite. Although very rare in the professional game of football but if someone bit you in a Sunday league game do you know the offenders medical history?
Human bite wounds may not seem dangerous, but the risk of infection is high. There are high levels of bacteria and different types of virus contained in human mouths that can turn a minor wound to a severe infection that can be hard to treat and move quickly to cause major complications. Do your bite wounds break the skin, like all puncture wounds? If so, there is a possibility of infection as well as injury to tendons, joints and nerves. If you have an infected human bite, you may need to be admitted to the hospital to receive antibiotics through a vein (intravenously). If you haven't had a tetanus shot within 5 years, your doctor may recommend a booster. In some cases, however, bites that do not break the skin may also cause damage to underlying tendons and joints. Bites where the skin is broken can transmit diseases that may even include the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the hepatitis B and C virus, and syphilis.

Google is definitely your best friend for that...
There is no doubting biting could cause damage, and i'm not defending it, but i'd rather be bitten than 'hacked down' in a challenge all the time
For spitting you get 6 games ban but for any hard tackles you get max 1-3 games and in some cases you just get yellow card. Not sure spitting hurts more than leg breaking tackle but it's a disgusting act just like biting.
And I also work in the medical profession. It was just easier for me to copy and paste that instead of typing it out to explain in far less medical terms to you.
So you would rather get bitten and have the risk of getting HIV than being whacked on the shins. Where is your brain at?

I agree it's a disgusting act, i'm not saying they should be punished the same because they shouldn't
Apologies then, i'm sure glad you didn't go into detail because it would have been lost on me! haha

Don't believe everything you google this is purely situational, first of all the person biting you would need to be infected with the virus and then seeing as these viruses are not transmitted through saliva they would need to have blood in their mouth also good effort though
And I also said it would be rare but I also work as a nurse. Yes they would need blood in their mouth but some people have very poor dental hygiene these days as they cant afford dental fees. If you are in a Sunday league game and someone bit you would you take the risk of wanting to be bitten? No. So nice try to counter the debate.
LFCMarshall said he would rather be bitten in a game yet he would not know his opponents medical history and if he has bleeding gums through lack of dental hygiene.

Considering if you have *** with a person who has HIV there is a 1 percent chance of contracting the disease, to contract the disease under these circumstances is even less than that. I'm a psychology graduate specialising in sexual health I have a years work experience in a sexual health clinic, I'm not countering the debate just pointing out that you was being frugal with the truth, but let's not turn this into a aids debate feel free to pm me
It's not being frugal with the truth. It can happen and yes I said it is very rare. But would you also want to take the risk of being bitten in a game of football not knowing anyone else's history. The answer would be no. That is what LFCMarshall is saying he would like to be bitten and take a massive risk on his life.
What? No he isn't. At no point did he say "I want to be bitten!" That's crazy strawmanning.
Jumping in again Godcubed without reading what people have said. Read the above quote.
I did. Hence why I responded.
For what it's worth, I do agree with you in principle. Not sure I'd prefer to be bitten than elbowed in the face, but I suppose it's all to do with the context.
