Suarez can't pass off biting someone on the pitch as some sort of acceptable casual play as he tried to articulate in the post match interview. It's totally unacceptable and he doesn't seem to get that. He seems to equate biting an opponent to tripping or taking a swipe at an opponent but it isn't. Simple as.

Tripping and swiping = yellow or red card depending on the circumstances.

Full on punching, violent kicking (as opposed to a 'mistimed tackle"

) and headbutting etc = straight red card and the likelyhood of a multiple match ban depending on the circumstances, previous disciplinary record etc

Spitting = red card and longer ban - it's just disgusting and attracts a high punishment.

and then there's biting which is just in a different league in terms of not being acceptable. Sure, if a guy was asked would you prefer a career threatening broken leg from a "mistimed tackle" a la Roy Keane on Alf Inge Haaland or a nibble from Chewy Louis which didn't break skin (thus no risk of infection etc) in the cold light of day most guys would probably go for the nibble (and possible have the indentation marked forever with a tattoo) but from a social and governance perspective biting is off the chart and our Louis needs to understand that otherwise he'll keep doing it and he'll keep getting bans and losing sponsorship deals etc.

Amazed they can ban him for 4 months from all football. You would have to imagine that Liverpool will not be best pleased about that

9 match international ban and banned from all football for 4 months. Suarez you idiot.

googled eyes

4 months ?

murpho999

Uruguay forward Luis Suarez has been banned for nine matches and banned for four months "from any football activity" after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.

9 game international ban and 4 month ban from all football

Could have been worse

4 month ban from football. Will miss first 2 months of season. Don't see anyone buying him now.

Barton, no stranger to controversy himself, wrote on Twitter: "I love Suarez. I love his passion for the game. I would have him on my team everyday of the week. I am also aware you can't defend him here.
"All things considered I'd rather receive a bite than a leg-breaking challenge. Whilst he should be punished, it is not the end of the world.

Joey Barton, the voice of reason? World's gone mad!

He doesn't need to have 30 goals in him (though he might played more centrally)
he just needs to be 18-20 goals ish and with some better defending, which was also true last season!

No, but Nuri said "similar numbers".

I don't see it happening in terms of goals.

Still, there's more than one way to skin a cat. We had **** all goals off the bench last season - I'd be surprised if it was more than 3.
If we up that to 15 it'll cover the shortfall.

He's really not the best finisher.

people arent reading this article properly it seems. have another go at it

I didn't say the author wanted to. I simply said that people want to ignore the other 2 incidents. If it makes you feel better I did carry on reading and it got even more farcical imo. The author seems to be making a case that it wasn't so bad because Suarez didn't 'pursue the act long enough to draw blood.'

Anyway there needs to be some sort of middle ground here which is difficult when you're talking about a player that is so polarizing. Is it as bed as some are making out? No. But people should also remember that he has had help 2 previous times before now and it's something that he has continued to do.

Suarez announcement at tooth hurty!

djPSB

It's utter delusion to think that Suarez is in anyway replaceable.

He doesn't just bring a phenomenal amount of goals and assists. He brings a will to win and work rate second to none.

Sanchez, Shaqiri etc. are all good players but not on the same level. Not many players are.

Of course it was. I've never heard of him biting people outside of football.

It's the red-mist descending. Alan Shearer kicks people in the head. Luis Suarez bites.

It's not pre-meditated

Why would he bite people outside of football?

I never said it was pre-meditated. It's simply something that he thinks is okay to happen on the pitch - he said it himself the other day that it was a coming together that happens. It's one of his ways of winning at any cost. There's no red mist involved imo.

No guarantee he comes back IMO.

Muahahaha

At the time of the biting incident I had a quiet smile to myself that this might stave off interest from Real & Barca. But now that I think about it if he ends up with a two year international ban but is free to play the domestic game then buying him makes even more sense as he no longer has to take almost a week off every couple of months to fly down to Uruguay and back for internationals. A world class player without the distractions of his international team is a more attractive prospect to any club team challenging on both domestic and European fronts.

I hope the punishment is making him stay at LFC for two more seasons .

I'm going to suggest its got something to do with the Stadium boring stuff like that.

You're leaving out a few wilderness years there, Mike.

I distinctly remember Baros, Cisse and Crouch being the best we had for a while.

Well its true there was a strange little period of Houllier era inspired forwards when Liverpool won the Champions League and FA Cup its true.

Hmmmm top forwards are over-rated!

Not sure if mentioned already (can't see anything else other than LS talk) but I see that Luis Alberto gone on loan to Malaga for the season.

Hopefully be good for him. Needs to become phyiscally stronger to survive in the premiership

So far its been Lambert and Can that have been added, squad players and arguably additions to areas where the depth is lacking in the club.

We have heard though that Moreno deal is dead, and he is a good young LB that Liverpool are seeking desperately.

Added to that the much heralded Lallana deal has dragged on and died IMO. Claims that Lovren were to join and bolster a rather shaky defence seems to have stalled

Shaqiri is a dead duck of a deal as well and the only one that seems alive is Sanchez and that is as a replacement for Suarez.

If Suarez goes then Liverpool need to replace him obviously but also bolster the squad in other areas to compensate for losing him.

WRT Spurs purchases, I maintain that those players will show some worth this season also provided they bring in a decent striker

Who said Shaqiri was a dead duck, according to Di Marzio last night it is very much on.
