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

I've yet to meet anyone defending what he did the other night. It was ridiculous, bizzare.

Why would they want to? The English FA have done Suarez enough times. They're probably delighted in truth.

As a United supporter I think the four month ban for club football was excessive. The ban should have been for 5 or 6 international matches but for World Cup tournament games only.... so no using the ban up on meaningless friendlies or qualifiers. If the ban runs into next WC, so be it.

Having done it 3 times.....it is probably only a question of time before it happens again. He apparently has been meeting with Steve Peters while at Liverpool but within a matter of weeks, has lapsed into a reflex old habit. Sad to see and I hope I don't again.

He put his hands onto/into Suarezs face to push him away both were natural reactions to someone sinking their teeth into you.

What exactly is deliberate? If I interpret a post one way and you interpret it another does that make you automatically correct? Are you the internet police?

I might suggest that you don't always need to be so sneaky with your posts. Man up.

It happens so often with you that you don't understand a post that other people can and your misunderstanding just so happens to suit your argument. It's completely obvious what you are doing and you've had plenty of people saying it to you. You should cop on.

Hmm i wonder do they, at first i agreed with the ban, but my brother pointed out that the situation is like me having two jobs and doing something stupid in one of them, but being suspended in both!!

not an exact analogy i know but you get my drift.

I think Liverpool could challenge this, maybe on more than one issue in effect they will have to pay his wages, they are being punished for something that happened in a different jurisdiction (by this i mean Liverpool are not an international team, not it happened in Brazil ), also would this ban be legal in England/Europe/Uefa

Just because FIFA have a rule does not mean it is legally binding

I don't think this has ever happened before? So how will employment law come into it, Suarez is banned from any involvement in football not just playing so is that infringing on his employment Rights?

Another analogy - could the Vintners Association(FIFA) Enforce a suspension from work(Liverpool) on an employee Who Bit someone at a conference(Assuming the Bar didn't want to fire him)

Im not saying either way on any of this and i'm far from a legal expert but i think there could be a lot of litigation before this is solved!!

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.

Liverpool don't really come into this, no matter how greatly affected they are. The punishment is for Suarez and the impact on Liverpool is unfortunate but secondary, and also a risk taken on when standing by somebody with his record. It is Suarez who has let Liverpool down with this ban, not FIFA.

I do feel bad for Rodgers though. Probably the classiest manager there is in the Premiership and does not deserve to be let down by Suarez like this.

Not a hope, the chap will serve the full ban and rightly so.

This. There is defending Suarez without saying it's ok to bite people, and defending him at all is ridiculous.

Of course the idiots talking about life bans or 1-2 year bans are there to be scoffed at, but people have been defending him a lot more than that, bringing the likes of Cantona into it who could not have less to do with this.

If both your jobs were as closely affiliated as this then you would find you'd probably feel repercussions in both

The analogy's don't carry over. FIFA govern all world football and the rules state they can ban players in their leagues from football. It's in contracts

They banned Franz Beckenbauer from all football activities, including stepping into any soccer stadium for 90 days recently

Taking on Ivanovic... That alone clear up any doubts that Suarez is in fact a few sparks short of a fire.

Not many defending it.

Some downplaying it? Perhaps

Plenty overplaying it too.

K-9 · 26-06-2014 07:23PM

Fifa can worldwide ban, they have for doping and match fixing, this seems to be unprecedented though. Tbh I'd say Liverpool are on their own here, can't see the English FA making a big deal of it. The admin ban seems odd, Lfc mightn't be able to register him for tCL, yet Real/Barca can buy him for 80 million. Fifa know where their bread is buttered. Adidas also seem to think a third bite is beyond the pale!

The downplaying and whataboutery is being done with the intention of defending Suarez, obviously. Stop playing dumb.

Edit: it's funny to see you jump straight to the whataboutery yourself there, with the reference to people over-playing the incident. I never denied that there are people overplaying the incident, that hasn't been debated. But you jump to it straight away as a way of deflecting from the fact that you were wrong when you tried to claim there haven't been people defending Suarez.

What you want us to do. Agree with the posters who think he should get a life ban, have to wear a muzzle, could have killed him by giving him aids.

True about Beckenbauer I'd forgotten that,

Two points though he was on a FIFA committee so in essence their employee and also that was very recent.

Also just because Beckenbauer hasn't challenged it in a court (there would be no benefit) doesn't mean Liverpool/Suarez can't

On the analogy its not as far off as you suggest FIFA is the ruling body of a voluntary organisation it doesn't have any statutory rights in any country im aware of. Liverpool is a PLC who happen to be a member of the PL and Through them UEFA and then FIFA, but its relationship with its employees is ruled by English employment law not FIFA, If the law doesn't allow this the Liverpool won't be able to enforce it

I reckon this punishment has been made intentionally harsh and may come down on appeal.

I don't want you to do anything. Rarnes1 tried to pretend that people haven't been defending Suarez, that's obviously untrue, so I pointed it out to him.

HigginsJ · 26-06-2014 07:32PM

I'm a United fan.

Think the ban is about fair really. I know most people on here probably couldn't care less what sort of fine/international ban he got (unless you had a few bob on Uruguay to do well) & that it was all about the domestic ban.

I feel Liverpool do get a bit of a raw deal out of this but they bought him under a cloud & have backed him through 2 long bans so probably realised that this was a possibility of happening again in future. Suarez should be ashamed of himself & he owes Liverpool so much for what they have done for him but he continues to let them & their fans down.

I see a lot of people have brought up the Cantona incident & have said it was much worse. I agree it was but it was just a once off. Can you also imagine the reaction to it in today's social media, politically correct, nannified world. He possibly may have never been allowed to play football again. But comparing incidents and bans from modern day to 20 years ago is pointless as they really were different times

12 month global ban

Has there been any word on an appeal ?
And if he was to appeal (unsuccessfully )would it push back the start of the 4 month ban ?
