It doesn't exist in all of Rugby.

Quite. It does exist in and covers most of the Clock Tower shopping centre but some of the smaller shops and newsagents on Warwick Street have to do without.

They were going to introduce it in Colne, but decided that there was nothing worth protecting.

Breaking News: Dortmund and Bayern fans have been spotted inside Wembley. Reports say the Germans are putting their towels down on their seats in time for the final.

Well 10 matches and no appeal, hopefully that's the end of it. I do wish that we had more consistency in sentencing. Thats what happens when you make it up as you go along though.

I don't think this will be the case to change things either, somebody will have to be seriously hurt for that to change and even then only maybe.

Justice was done ..... Biting is child like and out of control. A tackle can be malicious of course,but most are late or frustration to a point. Biting is OTT

I disagree, OTT is just that, a career threatening lunge, give me a bite any day. He's been punished disproportionately because he is Suarez, proving there really is a different rule for him. Meanwhile, Luiz, able to rampage around football pitches dishing out fore arm smashes with impunity, made yet another horrific career threatening "tackle" this week. No action..............again.

Of course lunges and bad tackles are dangerous. I agree with you MarkF, but biting ..... It's just so wrong! I'm glad they threw the book at him. He is a loose canon with his mouth (pun intended) , with racist comments and now with his rabid tendancies.
The bigger issue is refs and the FA being more consistent with fines and bans on players, during or after a game using video evidence.
We see the cheats week in week out via TV replays, and the FA should be addressing those individuals after a game.

That's what I want but there is no move for them to do so. They like having the option to throw the book at someone when they want and ignore it when it suits.

I know what you mean although I could add I feel spitting is even worse in my eyes (no pun intended) and I'm not sure you would get a ban for it?

He's been given a 10 match ban but four of those games are fairly meaningless,possibly apart from the Merseyside derby. LFC are not going for a European place and the best they will finish is sixth and the worst looks like seventh. Whether or not he played in those last four games of the season isn't going to make a scrap of difference to the club.

I think the FA are right to give him the length of ban they have done, four meaningless games at the end of the season and six games at the start of the new season.

Don't agree with that. He's not being punished because of who he is, his punishments have incrementally increased because he refuses to learn from his mistakes.

7 for biting at Ajax
8 for racism
10 for biting again seems fair enough

Mercifully I don't watch enough of Chelsea to be able to comment on Luiz.
