You can't be for real. Barton beat a team mate until he was unconscious "on the field" and got a massive 6 game ban for it from the FA, by the way.

Suarez probably did something in a field in Uruguay years ago...

That statement is delusional and is a result of the constant protection and excusing he has received from the clubs and managers he has played with and under, along with his fans.

The statement shows no remorse and sure why should it? The man has never had to show it from his previous actions, why start now? He'll never change.

You're wrong. He did apologise the last time and Liverpool handled it the right way.

I'm pretty sure Liam O meant on the pitch on match day, in front of the cameras and not just literally on a field.

After much deliberation...

I have forgiven Luis Suarez for his third biting offence.

Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal appealing the ban as he'll miss no games against them

No, Probably break his leg, and then threatening his life.

Joey Barton also stubbed a cigar out in a youth team players eye. I mean just think about that.

Right, because I saw that happen.

The thing is I don't think Suarez is violent. He just has a weird instinctive habit of lashing out with a bite. Now way was he thinking at all then.

But then he seems to enjoy being the bad guy. He managed to be the bad guy of the last World Cup too and it was due to his celebrations rather than the handball. Then there's the racist thing and the diving.

Liverpool have a right to feel totally hard done by but the player probably doesn't.

If Uruguay feel hard done by, they should talk to Ghana.

So, since he is denying he meant to do it deliberately, instead of just manning up and accepting what he did and genuinely apologising and showing he is ready to be honest with the world and seek help for his clear mental issues, can FIFA extend the ban?

This martyr act wore thin a long, long time ago.

No, the ban was independent of him apologising or not. More opportunities for moral outrage though.

You missed the point, more then likely deliberately.

Do you think that if he had come out straight away, owned up to it and apologized while showing he was taking steps to curb the behaviour they would have still banned him for four months?

Maybe they would, but his bull**** has made it pretty hard for FIFA to show any sort of sympathy to his position really.

I would wager if he had thrown himself at the mercy and accepted his wrong doings he would have received a lighter sentence, if he gets it reduced on appeal that would surely strengthen that argument

One of the reporters on the Liverpool Echo has suggested the fact he showed no remorse was one of the reasons the ban was so long.

He's either completely deluded or just not too bright. Hard to know sometimes. I figure he must not be too bright. No one with any common sense would react the way he has to these various incidents.

My feeling is that he will be a Barca player next season, perhaps they can manage him better.

The defence is pretty ridiculous, saying he lost his balance and fell on to Chellini with his teeth?!

12 month global ban

Maybe Suarez took his cue from these supporters?

Does it matter if you saw it?!? We know it happened... We also all saw what happened with Dabo. What does it matter of it was in training or not?!? I'm not defending suarezs actions but comments like you made is the kind of vilification I'd expect from the sun. He did something wrong and has been punished but to think it's on the same level as some of bartons actions is mental.

He wasn't making anything up, he was expressing what he thinks Suarez should of got and why.

He did make it up.
Why 6 months? Why not 7 months?
What was his proposed ban based on?

Because Liverpool made such a hash of his rehabilitation last season.
