    A headbutt is nuts, but somewhat understandable. Will never get what someone is thinking when they bite someone.

    Liverpool's season over in June :pac:

    It's made more baffling by the fact that it's the third time he's done it.

    With little or no provocation that I can see just random something not right with him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    It was a 10 game ban last time, wasnt it? I'd expect close to 20 since it's the third time. Liverpool are screwed without him for that long.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'm not sure if he will get banned from club games cause it was in internationals. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me given his two previous offences, as well as that thing with Evra, were with his club.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    I hope FIFA throw the book at Suarez and ban him for 2 years, what he did was uncalled for.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,406 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    DailyFail posted a pic of Suarez and Chiellini from last year and suggested it was Suarez trying to bite him last year:pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Liverpool could take Luis Suarez to the cleaners legally if he gets banned by FIFA


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    It's absolutely sad seeing a Liverpool supporter on my Facebook trying to justify Suarez biting Chiellini.

    On the other hand, it's kinda funny watching Uruguayans still claiming he's done nothing.

    Are there any online stores you'd recommend to buy tees? Not wrestling obvs but music tees, tv show tees etc? Looked at allposters.com but they seem to get great or horrific reviews.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Suarez banned for 4 months..... Discuss!

    I reckon it should have been more but the Man Utd fan in me wishes he just got a stern talking to. Any transfer to Barca or Real will be most likely off the table.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Bet Suarez knows where to get good deals on tees online.

    Slightly lenient imo.

    I think 6-8 months would have been fine.

    4 months will likely not detract Barca or Real from making a move.

    I've heard that it's only Uruguay that can appeal, but I dunno if that's true or not.

    Can the FA punish him too?

    I doubt it somehow, but maybe.

    Outside their jurisdiction, so no, they cannot do anything.

    As a Liverpool fan I am disgusted, but not in the least bit surprised. What a silly stupid man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    Is it a total ban effective immediately? If it is, he'll use a good bit of that time on pre-season which isn't really a punishment.

    I don't think he can train with his club either


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Seriously FIFA have screwed up with Suarez, his punishment should have been harsher than 4 months

    I wish people would stop using "I'd rather get bitten than ________________" when talking about Suarez. Just cause something worse could be done, you can't actually use that as any sort of defence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    Luis needs braces! DENTAL PLAN!

    kinda ****ty on Liverpool if the ban prevents his sale. No need to punish his club for him being a dick.

    Would any club still want to buy him now?

    Still one of the best in the world.


  • Registered Users Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    If it wasn't for his personality, anyone would have him. In my eyes he's a perfect striker. Amazing finisher, quick as they come and intelligent game player (obvious incidents aside). He's easily worth 70m+. Whether the big, European teams reckon they can take a big financial risk trying to tame him is another thing.

    He has never proved that imo, and just took himself out of another chance to do so.

    He is already 27 and the question marks over his mentality will be a big concern for likes of Real or Barca. He might need to be nice to Monaco or PSG to give himself another chance to prove how good he is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    The United fans gloating are so pathetic. Because they needed Suarez to be banned to be title contenders :rolleyes:

    Ronaldo and Messi are in a league of their own. Suarez is in the next bracket. If he was playing for Madrid or Barca he would be scoring close to the same amount of goals as Ronaldo and Messi. Suarez is the reason Liverpool were even top four contenders, let alone title contenders.

    I had a missed call this afternoon. Turned out to be the next door neighbor. I have never given him my number. He rang to see if his sheets of ply wood came.
    I found out it was him after texting the number.

    He had to go out of his way to find my number

    It depends on expectations of course, I wouldn't question his football ability but for me he is behind someone with less talent like Muller who repeatedly performs in big matches and well behind a player of similar ability in Robben who took time to prove himself.

    To be classed as one of the best I think a player needs to do big things when pressure in on and mentally stand up to it, he has the football talent but his mentality has not stood up to it yet (again in my opinion of course) and to be fair at Ajax and Liverpool he hasn't played in massive games in successful seasons like Muller or Robben at Bayern. To go from the two goals against England to imploding in the next game sums up why I question where he is ranked among the worlds best.
