The Suarez case is not a matter of personal liking or not really...
Saurez does something violent that is very odd and thus attracts much more attention and does it repeatedly; And in actions like that if nothing serious is done about it, it will be like promoting violence on the pitch. he has done punching, stomping, elbowing, karate kicking, poking in the eye,biting and in most case he dives right after he fouls to throw the ref off and I am not even counting his racism and just pointing to physical violence here . he is a talented but very dirty player and he does the offense repeatedly.
All these doesn't mean I don't want Pepe to get punished in the same manner as Suarez but you need to take it into account that the reason we are not holding the very same grudge against Suarez is that Barca has not been the direct victim of his actions. I am pretty sure a Juventus fan doesn't hate Pepe like a Barca fan. If we saw Alba or Pique or Messi getting kicked, punched, poked in the eye or bitten by him while he throws himself rolling on the ground after that we would all be calling for his head and wanting heavier punishments for him (specially if he played for Madrid like Pepe). Suarez and Pepe play differently and in different positions but they are from the same cloth.
Completelly agree..and you only need to see how hated Muller is for that incident with Jordi Alba..now imagine that Suarez would have done something like this to Messi:
Most Barca fans wouldn't want him anywhere near Camp Nou.
