Really interesting article i was reading over lunch BBC News -Epping Primary School bans lunchtime football

Pupils have been banned from playing football at lunch for certain "inappropriate" behavior.

Pupils were warned about bad language and being rude to staff, so the school have banned it until the next school year starts.

Parents arent too happy, insisting their kids can do what they like in their free-time. But why should staff be subjected to bad language and the like? They were warned they would lose it if they carried on - they did - its over !

With kids emulating their so called heros (not a word i would use for an over paid footballer) its even more imperative that such players should behave on the pitch and any such action, like Suarez's biting, should be harshly punished to get the message across to kids that they cannot behave how they like and actions have consequences.

Imagine you have a foul mouthed rant at your boss/co-workers and then sank your teeth in to their shoulder? Don't go past go & pick up your P45 on the way out !
