adox · 26-06-2014 01:01PM

6 month global ban

10+ games from international football is what I am expecting. Be a nice surprise if its from all football

It's ridiculous that the Suarez thread was locked TBH. At the very least it contained the crap that was going on, who cares if LFC and United fans were at each others throats if it's kept away from everything else?

Biggest event in world football and we can't discuss it openly on the soccer forum.

So you think that Suarez eclipses the World Cup?

The idea of a global ban is only a joke in soccer, if that happened in rugby the third offense would likely be a lifetime ban from any rugby at any level. Not that I expect FIFA to do the right thing but justice needs to be done and more importantly has to be seen to be done, a ban should be lengthy and affect his club too not as is likely will benefit his club as he won't have to go away on international duty. Suarez is a brilliant player but other footballers shouldn't have to be on the same field as someone who may bite them. As an Arsenal fan I would love Suarez the player but would hate to have Suarez the person in our club.

Reckon FIFA won't even take into account past gnawing and he will get a 4 game international ban

The way he is apparently going on as if he is innocent should really mean FIFA should throw the book at him IMO, if he admitted guilt and said he was going to get help I'd have some sympathy for him but as it stands he has learned nothing.

No which is why it should all be in one thread instead of all over the place.

i don't see why his ban should be any longer than Marchisio's, i'd prefer a bite to a potential leg breaker or a stamp...

This is a story I can really get my teeth into.

I guess his bite is worse than his bark.

Looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew this time.

The biggest event in world football is the World Cup. The biggest talking point of said event thus far has been Suarez biting Chiellini.

I don't know what you're trying to prove with these pedantic statements.

6 month global ban

It's all ridiculous, a headbutt is a worse offence and wouldn't generate half the drama.

Really think it will be in the range of 0 to 6 international games.

No way will there be a club ban.

FIFA cant be too strict as it would open the floodgates to video evidence and that is the last thing FIFA want. There will be serious fudging going on by FIFA not to undermine the role of the referee.

If it were the English FA I would be expecting a 30+ game ban - the English media reaction has had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he scored 2 goals against them and pretty much sent them home.

Current PaddyPower odds.

This applies to the ban imposed by FIFA for international games only. If the ban imposed refers to a time frame , then the amount of international games missed will be counted for settlement.

1-3 Games 7/2
4-6 Games 7/2
7-9 Games 5/1
10-12 Games 9/1
13-15 Games 9/1
16-18 Games 12/1
19 Or More 7/2
No Ban Imposed 13/2

As a Liverpool fan I hope there is not global ban.

Also as a Liverpool fan I hope he is sold for the reputation of the club.

If the rumours are through about Sanchez I would at this point prefer him to be starting up front

It was a ridculously stupid act, but it didn't cause as much damage as a tackle that puts someone in hospital or even an elbow that gives someone a black eye.

It's very childish act and causes more harm to Suarez than Chellini. Anything more than a 10 game ban would be completely over the top imo.

7 match ban from internationals would be my guess. If he ever does it in England again he's f*cked.

Super-Rush · 26-06-2014 01:15PM

I can't believe the amount of people who think that Fifa can't ban him from club football.

Its not like they are the governing body of world football or anything.

He deserves a long ban from international football but I've this awful feeling that Fifa will make an example out of him to please the sensationalists.

I clicked 10, not sure why. It will be about 6 I think. Probably enough so he's back in time for most of Copa America next year.

A proper headbutt, which we pretty much never see in football thankfully, would generate a lot more drama. People would be appalled at that kind of violence being shown on the big stage and if the player had done it two times previously then it certainly would cause a huge stir with lots of calls for a proper ban.

Would be funny if it was 3 and Uruguay got to the final

Whatever about Pepe and Zidane they'll have to take into account that this is Suarez's 3rd time doing it.

If they didn't take into account the two of them being repeat offenders, I'm not sure what grounds they'd have for Suarez.

Nonsense. The longest ban for gouging a players eye was 2 years.

Dylan Hartly bit Stephen Ferris, called a ref a cheat, gouged someone and has a terrible disciplinary record even excluding that. He still plays, for England, no less.

Rugby's disciplinary system is a lot more robust than football's, but it's not robust enough to cover the lifetime bans that some are suggesting in their masturbatory revenge fantasies on Suarez.

My guess would be a 3 match/ 2 month ban for violent conduct . Any more than a 3 match ban and he can appeal it and I think don't think FIFA want this dragged out .

No ban and he receives money for emotional abuse by the worlds media and liverpool get 85 million plus 2 players from barca and he flops there breaking a leg early on in accidentally and never quite recapturing the form of last year all the while liverpool finally win the league and united sign 5 more attacking midfielders and persist with rooney.

Or he gets a 12 game ban turning any potential buyers off him leaving liverpool short in their league and champions league campaign early on.

I hope they let him off with a warning.

He'll do it again of course but he'll probably get a life ban for the next one.

26-06-2014 01:26PM

Article in the independent saying in Brazil it's a comedy while in Italy Ballotelli is getting more blame than Suarez for the exit.

In England calls for jail and huge worldwide bans from ex players. Irish haters will take the lead from this direction

I'd say he'll get a year ban.

Would it justify the punishment? Not imo.

He should be certainly helped as it's not normal behaviour.

Well I can tell you that in Spain it was nothing more than a side note in all the papers I read.

The first story was Godin and Italy's elimination, with a mention of the Suarez incident in a paragraph of the article or a separate shorter article. Italy's papers led with their exit from the World Cup.

Today the talk is of Neymar vs Messi, two potential World Cup greats, later the focus will move onto the actual football being played. These are bigger stories than Suarez.

Meanwhile the BBC have had the Suarez story as their lead since the incident happened, and have relegated talk of actual football to the sidelines. As far as I know this is not happening in any other country.

Those who consume Dutch or German media or whatever other country can fill me in, but I imagine the Suarez story is a side story and not the massive event it is here and in the UK.

So, from what I can gather, to claimi t is the biggest event in world football right now is wrong. There is still a World Cup going on, and people care more about this in general

It was large news as well in Holland. Although his first biting incident happened here so maybe thats why.

One of the guys on the RTE panel said something about Fifa being reluctant to ban him from club football as Liverpool would inevitably get the lawyers involved and given other acts like head butts etc have not resulted bans from international let alone club football they would have grounds for complaint.

I don't know what the procedure is but when there's big money involved which there is in club football then it could get messy and Fifa may want to avoid anything messy.

They can of course but it could open a can of worms in club v country.

Clubs basically pay their wages and may not be as willing to let them go to friendlies for instance.

I'd imagine FIFA don't want any threat of legal action or appeals from Liverpool.

I suspect there will be no ban or at most a one match ban ..... due to the fact that outside these islands it doesn't appear to be much of a story.
On thje issue of what I think the ban should be ..... it should be 1/3 of whatever ban Chiellini receives for his use (or attempted use ..... though he does seem to make contact with Suárez head) of his elbow in the incident

How long will Suarez's ban be? Mod warning in OP and post#455
