It's kinda different though. He's been officially charged by the police. He may be given community service or something like that.

[ToeyJoey]

Surely if even the police are getting involved in his siuation the FA will do something more drastic.

[~Spaceman~]

I certainly hope so. That would really show FIFA that they're serious about it.

[ToeyJoey]

If they didn't then everyone would be up in arms, because they hadn't shown consistency. They'd probably call them racist for punishing Suarez and not the England captain.

[~Spaceman~]

He definitely shouldn't be taken to the euro's. At the world cup he caused disruption by betraying Bridge and now if he's found guilty who knows what could happen. Maybe Rio could refuse to play and others may follow suit

[ToeyJoey]

Well France did a similar sort of thing to that at the World Cup didn't they?

[~Spaceman~]

That was hilarious. Especially Evra's little argument with the manager on the training ground. Fond memories

[ToeyJoey]

It's a shame we were so pathetic at the World Cup.

[~Spaceman~]

All I can say is that my team Serbia went out at the group stage

[ToeyJoey]

Why would you back Serbia?

Saying that, at Euro 2008 I backed Romania.

[~Spaceman~]

Ireland weren't in it so i thought "who's my favourite player" the answer of course being vidic who is Serbian. I'm rooting for the Germans next year though

[ToeyJoey]

I just backed Romania because they were the worst.

Still, in Euro 2012 I get my two countries, England and Ukraine.

As a Northern Irelander, do you support the Republic too?

[~Spaceman~]

Ukraine need schevchenko to even be taken seriously. No offence but do they have any other stand out players except him? Does he still even play?

[ToeyJoey]

Yes he does, he's the captain. Yarmenlenko's not bad, neither is Aliyev but we're not exactly a great side. However, home advantage and Greece managed to win in 2004 so... you never know.

[~Spaceman~]

Poland have home advantage too do they not. Thre half decent keepers in Boruc Szcesny(?) and Kuscack(?)

[ToeyJoey]

They do, it's a half split, but we do get the final and our biggest stadium is bigger than their biggest stadium.

[~Spaceman~]

True. I would live to stay here and chat but I've got to go. My last words will be 5-0

[ToeyJoey]

And Giggsy's 20th consecutive Premier League season with a Prmeier League goal.

[~Spaceman~]

Amazing record. How long will it take to break I wonder?

[ToeyJoey]

No-one, no-one will ever break that record, they either retire too early or move to a foreign team. Did you see the goal though? He knew exactly what he was doing, after some light jogging, he just sauntered into the box knowing what was about to happen and with the help of a little luck, just rolled it over the goalkeeper.
