Suarez BITES again - ***Update: Luis Suarez banned from ALL football for 4 months***

[Lady Whistledown]

Got that spot on.

Wonder when the 4 month ban will start.

If it's from now it won't affect his club to much

Oh I don't know. Liverpool are going to be without their leading striker until 26th October, it seems.

That's going to go down well then.

Hmmm. Punishment announced 2.49, your guess posted at 2.50.

I have no idea what you're suggesting . . .

If he didn't bite him, what was Gaston Ramirez trying to cover up when he sprinted after Chiellini trying to pull his shirt back up?!

I make it that if the ban is immediate, then he will miss Liverpool's first 9 league matches

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He's not even allowed to enter a football stadium for four months

Public protection, one assumes.

I was wondering about this (and actually posted the question to twitter). Surely if he is banned from all football-related activity, that would include attending matches and even training with his club.

Therefore, aside from working on a fitness programme away from his club, surely the 26th October is actually the date he may resume training with Liverpool.

Best thing is, it won't put off real/barca etc like pool fans wanted

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Look on the bright side, Liverpool fans. At least you won't be selling him.

Should have insisted he wears a mouth guard for the remainder of his career.

9 match ban from international football....

seems a bit harsh

It would be difficult to inforce this, i personally think he should be allowed to train - other wise will FIFA be covering his wages?

Am seeing some suggestions that the ban includes administrative football transactions, so he can't move clubs either.

Luis Suarez banned from all football for four months and for Uruguay for nine matches

seems light !

100K Swiss Franc fine as well

Perhaps so if this were his first offence, but it is his third.

Its a 9 match international ban so he cannot play for Uruguay until they've arranged lots of friendlies between now and September. The 4 month ban means he cannot play or train with the team at club level. He won't play for Liverpool again , there will be a transfer rushed through and he'll be off to a Spanish club.

Disagree. This won't put of anyone.

Feel free to correct me, but doesn't the Spanish league start a few weeks later? He would miss even less of the season if he leaves

 

[TomandJerry]

Does the four months start at the start of the Premiership season?
