    Dunno if you've heard but Luis Suarez plays for Liverpool.
    He got banned for about 15 club games today for something he did on international duty.
    Kinda affects Liverpool Football Club and their fans.

    Are you saying that anything that involves Liverpool and its fans also has to involve Cantona, Keane, United etc?

    I think it will understandably be viewed as self-defence given he had two massive front teeth gnawing on his shoulder at the time.

    same way Valencia was defending himself from Sterling's stackle by grabbing him by the throat? Or a player who elbows his opponent coz he's grabbing his shirt?

    hmmm makes sense all right...

    Of course not, that really would be idiotic.

    pretty sure an elbow does more damage than a bite...

    But can you not see that deliberately biting someone is worse? Seriously?

    You can't compare Suarez biting three different players with Keane and cantona because they didn't bite three different players.

    worse than what? a deliberate elbow or deliberate choke?

    You mean an instinctive reaction to said bite? I'd do exactly the same in that situation if somebody tried to bite me.

    don't think it makes it right or not violent behaviour...

    You have brought up incidents in which the player was fouled and reacted. You may have been watching the Suarez-Chiellini incident in rewind. I do that all the time, forever sitting on the remote.

    look up the FIFA rules, self defence isn't an excuse for violent behaviour. or do you not understand that?

    If a dog was chewing on your leg, what would you do? Pet him?

    So why do you think he hasn't been charged? If it isn't specifically in the rules, then it's a nice rare case of FIFA using common sense.

    Arguably the most stupid post in the history of the interweb. I hate people who try to be smartar5es like this.

    If he elbowed him after the incident he might well be sanctioned but not while he's trying to remove a lad attached to his shoulder.

    I find it sad that such a gifted footballer will be missing a big part of the season.
    Gifted performers always seem to have a wee kink in them i.e. Alex Higgins, Georgie Best and Maradonna. Always living on the edge of controversy.

    Ivanovic did almost the same thing no call for him to be banned.

    There's plenty of gifted performers without behavioural issues and plenty of not so gifted with them.

    6 month global ban
    Ban probably about right. Sufficiently appropriate for a third offence without descending into pitchfork mob mentality.

    The United fans who want to rile up the Liverpool fans, and those Liverpool fans who choose to post bizarre defences of Suarez for the 3rd major indiscretion since joining the club, these people make this forum much less pleasant to visit.

    Does the administrative ban mean he can't be registered for CL/League?

    Great point. Would love clarification on this?

    Mostly Utd fans telling me we should sell him funny enough. I'd imagine if it was Aspas it would be a different story ☺

    In fairness, if it was someone like Aspas, there wouldn't be as many people on here defending him with such aggression.

    How close are national football associations governed by FIFA?
    For example, are the FA able to ignore FIFA's 4 month PL ban on Suarez?

    why do people continue to talk about Liverpool fans defending SUAREZ?

    it's about LIVERPOOL.

    there is no defence of Suarez, and nobody is even trying to from what I can tell.
