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

[Bold Seagull]

Liverpool mongs claiming LFC are being punished by FIFA

.. No, your bell end player is being punished , Liverpool are just the knock on effect , it's your hero's fault and no one else's.

Does seem unfair. Why not ban him from internationals for 2 years or more or even from taking part in a future world cup? He seems to have gotten off lightly at international level compared to what he will serve domestically. I don't think FIFA have got the balance right on this one. In fact I think they're happy to protect their own product and shift the majority of the punishment onto another association.

I think it is fair, they could have just applied it to internationals, but a four month ban from being anywhere near the vicinity of a football club will also mean banned from all training grounds, not forgetting the WC stadiums.

This, although both would probably have made sense (4 year international ban to miss next World Cup ?)

They backed him after the racism row, they backed him after the last biting episode , they made their bed.....

A club backing there best player? Isn't a shock.

They can sell him so if they don't like it they can get rid, if they couldn't I'd agree it wouldn't be fair

Why ? It's the player being punished. What if he played for say Iran ? It would hardly be a punishment if he could still play premier league football and still collect his £xxx,000 a week and just miss a single Iranian international match.

Hopefully Liverpool won't be paying him.

Rickie Lambert's now thinking, "I'm actually going to get a game now"

 

[Bladders]

So basically he's out till January and miss the whole Champion's league, because he can't register

Is that a fact ?

That wasn't my point. I'm not necessarily saying he shouldn't be punished domestically, I am saying the proportionality of the punishment between international and domestic football does not seem fair. A 9 game international ban does not equate to me to the same severity as his 4 month ban.

On that point though, does the 9 game international ban start after the 4 month ban? The 4 month ban is from all football I guess? Maybe it is proportional....Oh I'll shut up now....

Is that a fact ?

The media seem to be waiting for FIFA to clarify exactly what an administrative ban constitutes. We may not know for a while...

 

[TomandJerry]

Is that a fact ?

"However, Fifa clarified that Suarez’s ban from all “administrative” tasks related to football did not block any possible transfer from Liverpool during the period."

Surely administrative tasks include registering?

 

[NS Herald]

They'll probably reduce the ban to a couple of months on appeal which if happened would make it virtually meaningless

I do hope so.....and to think the scousers are in meltdown now, they'll go ballistic if he's out till January

Max is two weeks.

I would hope FIFA would back Liverpool in any case of not paying him

 

[bomber130]

All that needs to happen is for him to have all his teeth removed and if he tries to bite anyone again his defence will be "I was trying to suck him off".

He can only appeal the fine

Lol

Can't appeal

Can't agree. They took on the player fully aware of his history.

Anyway? 9 games for Uruguay could be over a year out
