    Now Liverpool have a problem... how do FSG react to that?...

    Fine him? Appeal, can they even appeal ? I'm not sure I can see how he can stay at the club now. That's 4 seasons in a row where he has missed a portion of the season.

    Puts the club in a horrible position for 2 and a months

    Pfft.... Giving the rest of the premier league teams a head start again this season.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,609 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    By my count, he'll have missed a total of 28 Liverpool games through suspension, without having received a single red card. Surely that's a record...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,024 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    He will miss way more games for Liverpool than he will for Uruguay.

    The ban on all football related activities also means Suarez cannot attend any football match. Not just a book but the library thrown. #lfc

    Justice.

    Should have been 8 months and 20 internationals.


    How is it justice if you think it should have been twice as long??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,299 ✭✭✭slingerz


    Uruguay will appeal and it will be cut in half.

    Uruguay will appeal and I'd imagine Liverpool will lodge a complaint also.

    Could see the appeal cutting his total ban from football in half or else being suspended.

    Any date on when an appeal has to be lodged by?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭BenEadir


    I hope Liverpool challenge the ban . It was international football . He didn't do it while playing for Liverpool so the club shouldn't be punished .
    If someone goes to jail for a crime they committed outside their employment the employer doesn't get to appeal the case and ask that their employee be allowed out 9-5 Monday to Friday.

    If as a result of his actions Suarez is unable to play for LFC for 2 months the contract will kick in and he'll be fined the appropriate amount. LFC won't technically be 'punished' as they won't have to pay him when he's not available to play. If he had bitten someone walking down the street he'd end up in bloody jail for 4 month. Either way he should know that his actions can have consequences beyond the pitch he is playing on and consider the effects of his actions before he decides he wants to nibble an opponent. What's wrong with the guy???

    Honestly don't think this'll stand up against an appeal, particularly now that it involves his club losing him for two months - the player & the team he was representing should be punished, as per the previous bans

    Precisely, if we've any backbone we'll get our lawyers involved - FIFA have opened up a real can of worms here by sanctioning bans in domestic football for offenses carried out for a national team

    That makes no sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,233 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    'No football activity' - I assume he can train with the team, no?

    Silver lining, he won't (can't?) be sold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Livid, but more with Luis then with the length of the ban.

    He's a Liverpool player, and even when wearing the Uruguay jersey, he's still representing the club.

    It was shítty behaviour from him, hopefully he grows up and cops onto himself. Doubtful given the history.

    Love watching him play, could be the greatest player to play for this club, but he's no good to us on the sidelines.

    Shouldn't get a penny while banned from the club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,698 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    He got what he deserved. Would everyone wake up and stop acting so shocked.

    Its sucks that we are punished but its the 3rd offence.

    Time for the club to come out and condemn him, the club should also take legal action against him.

    Fifa making up rules as they go along, but to judge by what they've just told me, only #URU (not #LFC) would be allowed to appeal Suarez ban
    .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I'd say with good enough lawyers, they might get him in time for the Premier League.

    Bit sh1te if he's walking through the park and lads say, "Luis, pass us back the loose ball, mate?" And he has to politely decline.


  • Site Banned Posts: 4,925 ✭✭✭Agueroooo


    3 CL group stage games as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,024 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Apparently Uruguay can appeal but not Liverpool.

    we wont appeal...remember the Evra case?

    Completely different scenario though.

    And can't he play in 'non football activity' way like Moses did last season?

    This is FIFA we are talking about! They will want to protect the image, the sponsors, the tv audience. They want people to talk about the beautiful game, not off-the-ball stuff.

    Throw the book at them, they will...says Yoda...

    I wish I had been wrong, but I knew they would go postal on him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,071 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    have to laugh at the people saying the ban was too much. he bit someone for the THIRD time. hes an utter disgrace to football and should not be paid a single penny from liverpool during these 4 months. he is ruining liverpools season........AGAIN! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,123 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Meh...it's such a weird and unprecedented situation that any ban/sanction was going to cause controversy.

    Will be interesting to see the response from FSG/Rodgers.

    The stadium ban seems a bit odd though imho.....are they afraid he's going to go around biting random people or something :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,783 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Not surprised.

    I would say track record and lodging a pathetic defence may have gone against him.

    What chance has an appeal got as he'll be appealing with FIFA.

    Looks like he won't be sold this summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    Even as a United fan I think that's harsh. Was expecting maybe 10 game international match ban. I thought the only ban that covered across international and club was a doping ban.

    He'll appeal and more than likely have the 4 months stricken off.

    That would be utterly daft. Take legal action against him and you are just decreasing his value. Clubs would be offering 15M for him next January.

    Claudio Sulser, chairman of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee, says in a statement: "Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suarez's guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated."

    I actually thought and feared it would be longer - as bad as it is having him out until November, we can't expect much better - he is the only player in history to have bitten 3 opponents in games ffs!!

    His bans keep getting longer, and so they should

    can't wait for him to play again, but not in any way shocked or surprised by the ban


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,233 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    Confirmed: He can't even train with the club.

    On the plus side, he is very good when he turns up to the season late.
