[Closed] The Suarez nearest the bull ban length game

Yep. can't believe that everyone from the team captain through to the President is claiming that it's basically a media storm driven by the british press because we're sore that they knocked us out. Pictures prove nothing? - maybe not in isolation, but given past form, and if the teeth marks are genuine and if the Ref had sense to look at them note them in his report, I'd say there's more than enough to add up.

I can't see where Uruguay are going with this. He has to be facing a lengthy ban, and if they appeal just as a means of suspending that ban until a proper appeals process is heard, and go on to progress further, what then? Do teams they subsequently beat have a right to ask for a replay? If, heaven help us, they won with Suarez's help then it has to be meaningless, surely?

Or are they right, and we're over-concerned about it (not because of the fact they knocked us out but because he plays his football here and one of his previous transgressions was here)? Is Argentina's win in 86 valueless because they only progressed because of an act of blatant cheating? Are we making too much of it?

Uruguay are embarrassing themselves now

Excellent article about Suarez at:

It weird, a bite is a lot less dangerous than a two footed high tackle that could break a leg, but it's so alien to the sport that it's being condemned all over the place.

I reckon banned for a year from internationals with a 1 year suspended sentence that will ban him from domestic games as well if he does it again.

if he does it again

The four strikes and you're out rule?

i fear FIFA are likely to embarrass themselves I think they ar haggling over the ban as anything over 3 games [ not enough and they know it] can be appealed and he plays on.

So they need to be tough but he can stop them and still play

Will be interesting to see the fudge result as both he and the Uruguayan FA seem to want to deny he did it despite the undeniable evidence

I heard on the radio earlier that the general consensus is that he'll get a 2 month ban as this cannot be appealed against, where as, anything longer and he can appeal which would mean he could continue to play in this World Cup.

can they do a short ban to ensure he's out of the wc but tell the national FAs (wherever he is next season) to dole out a more suitable penalty?

I'm guessing a 12month international ban [b]after[/b] the wc is not going to bother him overly....?

Given its FIFA, IMHO, if enough money changes hands anything can happen...allegedly

This is a spectacular fudge and shows the massive hole in the FIFA's regulations. Yes a bank should be appealable but it should start immediately and not be suspended upon appeal.

I agree with JY / muggo that he'll get a short ban (non-appealable) so he misses the world cup. He deserves 12/24 month ban from all football.

Devils advocate: If you can't appeal and stop the ban, what's the point in the appeal. No, it's right that if he appeals he should then be free to play until the appeal is heard.

You just need a system where the appeal can be heard within hours rather than weeks or months. And also I like to see a refundable bond deposited with the appeal, that is forfeited if the appeal is unsuccessful, to prevent frivolous or tactical appealing. How much is a tough one though- how much is it worth to have Suarez available for the ko stages of a world cup? I'd be thinking lots of zeroes........

Has anyone got Brendan Rodgers opinion on all this nonsense? Everyone and his uncle has an opinion on it, but thats the one I'd like to hear. I expect various forms of slow torture may have been elaborately proposed, as opposed to the previous ongoing re-drawing of the rules to accommodate the constant misdemeanours of the carnivorous, racist little shit

Phil Thompson was adamant that Suarez wouldn't play for Liverpool again because of this.
I don't think he would have played for them next season either way TBH I think it's very hard for any player to turn down a move to Real or Barca.

Maybe they should just remove his teeth! That would solve any future issues!

muggomagic - I believe its already been flouted by the papers that this was all part of his plan to ensure a move. A conspiracy too far, I reckon. He's nowhere near bright enough for that

All is not well in the Ghanaian camp. Rude words 🙂 and £1.7m in cash 😯

It would be nice if they could line up the appeal to be heard immediately after the first hearing/sentencing.

Panel: "He bit someone. Again. 24 game ban + help."

LS Lawyer: "I'd like to appeal!"

P: "Thought so." 5 people get up and change seats. "Yes?"

LS L "How about now?"

P: "He bit someone. Again. 24 game ban + help"

You could get it all done in half an hour

Everyone and his uncle has an opinion on it

Browsing google news at lunchtime, I notice that none other than Bruce Springsteen has "waded into the debate" (i.e. someone said as part of an interview: "been watching the soccer? what do you make of the bitey chap?")

"biting has no place in sport." reckons The Boss. Great scoop, the Telegraph.

Interestingly, he said Tyson's on Holyfield should have been "sport's last bite", rather than any biting incident before that. Presumably that means he was fine with biting in sport up to and including that point.

Binners, yeah I don't buy that either. If he wants a move he'll get one. Bigger players have left bigger clubs (I'm thinking about when Liam Bridcutt left Brighton) just by refusing to play.

Suspended for 9 world cup matches

And 4 months from all football!

Appeal on it's way!

They can appeal but he's still suspended until the appeal is completed.

He's not even allowed in a stadium for 4 months.

So it sounds like it's 9 world cup matches so if Uruguay qualify for the next tournament he would miss some of that too from what the lady reading the statement was saying

good work FIFA! 🙂

Suspended for 9 world cup matches

And 4 months from all football!

Can't wait to see Gus Poyet's face when he's next on ITV. 🙂
Colombia will be pissing themselves over this.

Seems reasonable for a starting point, whens the rest of the ban desicion going to be made? 🙄

yeah but its suarez bite now not 'bite' so it must be true!

Must be lots of British media on the FIFA disciplinary board!

9 match ban from WC means qualifiers too I assume however given his age I cannot see him being at the 2017 quali's or 2018 WC - so band is meaningless outside the current tournament.

4 months from all football actually means 2 months of actual competitive season. Whilst banned from stadiums (so he cannot come to the knockout match and embarrass FIFA) I assume he can still train.

I think this is quite lame.

Is 4 months enoughto stop him from doing it again ?

How many matches will he miss?.... The world cup game ... OK ... then lets say his ban starts 1 july ... no matches in july or half of August... that leaves 2nd half of August then Sept and Oct.... So how many games is that 12/14 ???

Does seem enough to me ... if the last ban got him 10

what no anger management? what no therapy? its gonna happen again.. he cant help himself.. lucky the chinese never make the major tournaments as they'd be proper tasty..

It's all a bit fishy to me.. smacks of seb bladderism ( we dont need goal line technology)

Physchologist said he will always do this, the repeated offending shows it's pre-programmed. A response to stress and frustration. This is why he should banned and for life.

If ban starts today his 1st game for Liverpool will be 1st Nov. That seems enough to me.

HtS - So who was nearest the bull?

Physchologist said

One (or a few) psychologist saying it does not mean it should be taken as FACT, no matter how much you want it to be.

Banned from training too.

Back in time for Hallowe'en 😀

I think he needs to be made to wear a gum shield or similar to stop him/protect others..perhaps act as a reminder to him?

Not meaning to be an anti liverpool thing as I dont think he ever goes on the pitch wanting to hurt folk - unlike Roy Keane- he just does it and cannot help himself.

Double filtered flat-white coffee — because single-filtering is for people who like Jim Davidson.

😆

So he misses 9 Liverpool games. Do they still have to pay him his salary during this time?

Seriously though; with all the corruption in world football, peoples killed during construction of stadia (due to poor working conditons and negligible concern for workers' safety) not to mention the enormous waste of money in a country where health care and education are desperately starved of resources, does it really matter that one overpaididiot bit anotheroverpaid idiot?
