Suarez the Cannibal

Suarez showed the football world what a joke the English FA had become when he decided to suck Ivanovic's blood. After watching yesterday's match,i lost my respect for the English FA and Kevin Friend. I suspected the officiating was going to be poor right from when Kevin Friend decided to blow a freekick against FT9 when replay showed Agger appeared to have lost his footing but i never thought it was going to be worse.. I must admit,Liverpool took control from the blast of the whistle and we were just fortunate to go ahead when Mata's dangerous corner found Oscar and the young Samba boy nodded the ball into the top corner to give Chelsea the lead. Chelsea held on to the lead till half time. The second half saw the introduction of former Blue boy,Daniel Sturridge.Sturridge introduction was an instant hit as he played a nice through ball after some clever foot work only for the Liverpool Captain who was annonymous through out the game to squander with only the goalkeeper to beat. The former blue boy leveled some minutes later though after a nice assist from Suarez,from there it seemed Liverpool were going to kill the game,but a silly handball by Suarez gave Chelsea back the advantage. The handball incident is where my arguments starts from,why on earth should Suarez remain on the pitch after that intentional foul,or why else would a player contest for an aerial ball with his hands thrown in the air?.In Europe,that's a straight red but because its the EPL where sh*t happens,Kevin Friend decided to be soft and gave only the penalty,am even surprised he awarded it given his previous calls. Hazard stepped up and sent Reina the wrong way and it was Liverpool 1 and Chelsea 2.We all saw three studded challenges the day before,and two of those three challenges ended up with Red card against the offenders while Manson decided to let Assou off the hook after he apologized to Zabaleta, but my opinion he should have being sent off,the former blue boy lunged at Betrand and completely missed the ball,connected instead with the player's studs,still Kevin saw nothing wrong with this tackle and Sturridge was left off the hook. Suarez the Cannibal obviously took advantage of Kevin's incompetence by dragging Ivanovic's hand and did exactly what gave him the 8match ban while in Ajax,he bit Ivanovic's hand right there on the pitch while the game was going on.The surprising part was the four official missed the incident that happened in many seconds,just like how the four officials missed the Ferdinand/Torres incident,the David/Aguero two foot hit but they were quick to see that of Hazard. Despite the fact that Ivanovic showed Kevin Friend the bite mark,he refused to consult the 4th official to know what went down but instead decided to caution the Cannibal. I just wonder what he told him,maybe he said something like "Be a good boy and don't bite again". The same Cannibal gave Liverpool a point after scoring in the 97th minute when 6minutes of extra time was given. This kind of officiating cannot happen in the EPL if Liverpool was playing against Man utd and am damn sure Kevin would have punished Suarez if he had bitten Ferdie or Evra,my point is the FA just wants us to fail in our bid to play UCL football next season. The fixtures,the officiating and all are ploys to sidetrack us just like they did when we were comfortably leading the table. Suarez is obviously going to be banned but does that change the result,the FA is not gonna succeed with their ploy because we are gonna fight till the end.KTBFFH
