I think he was just proving that he could chew it on a wet Weds night in Stoke....

What was given?

What was given?

It happened just before ht, a yellow card, but he was subbed at ht

Wonder if he saw the bite and considered red

He was staring right at the incident so I’d be surprised if he didn’t see it

Had he bitten off more than he could chew??

I said if because of the fact he didn't send him, it is possible he saw it and 'bottled' it though

Well, he consulted with his assistant for the red card just before that, despite having a perfect view of the incident. Very odd.

To be fair, just seen it at full speed and it is much harder to spot

He needs to be banned for the same length as Suarez. Consistency is needed here.

We had Joe Allen a few weeks ago and apart from being Stokes Mom he was always a pest. You can see a bit how he winds people up, can’t condone biting but Allen is a WUM....

He also ran away from the mass con from the bit I saw on my dodgy stream

Wow.... going for the Suarez record!

I can see how he might not have recognized it initially since allen grabs him and they are tied up like professional boxes in a "hug". HUGE miss though. Can't believe Allen wouldn't have shown bite marks to the referee. Did Allen get anything? Looked like he initiated contact into Suarez then grabbed him around the neck/head before getting "chewed out"

Joe Allen has said in a subsequent interview that he himself was not bitten. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46383378

A bite is a bite, he gets part of his shirt inside his mouth, it’s a bite, no question regardless of contact with skin! Ban him, FA, should show some b01llocks! No place for it!
