So for two biting offences, and one of racial abuse, Suarez has missed 25 games through suspension. Idiot. Interestingly, he got two more for biting than he did for racial abuse.0
-
In the context of the other bans, 10 games sounds about right. Joey Barton's seemed harsh though0
-
Ben Thatcher got off lightly...0

Think a visit to the dentist and pull his teeth out would be the best solution. Don't know what the FA stance is for sucking an opponents arm.Friend Or Defoe said:Best thing to do would be to send him to someone who can sort him out and not let him play again worldwide until he is cleared. Biting is something a 4 year old would do, not a full grown man, there is something very wrong with him.

Danny Mills on BBC News now talking about Suarez. Coming from the bloke who got himself sent off against Hull before Xmas a few years ago (imo), that's a bit rich from him to talk about morals.0

10 is fair imo. Clearly the 7 match bans weren't sufficient in stopping his foul play.
Expect the Liverpool fans to claim there's a giant conspiracy against them, even though the fault lies with their own player.0 -
I think it is a disgrace that ian eyre cites shock and disappoinment at the severity of the nan. As SELR states, the 7 game ban obviously didnt work
Any other walk of life..u repeat offend u get punished more severely.
This is this MD of the football club spouting this shite. Shocking
Liverpool fc. Bunch of santimonous self-pitying tossers0 -
Liverpool are holding a dinner to celebrate the leniency of the sentence. Beef Strogonov has been renamed Beef Ivanovic specially for the occasion0

Or... Don't bite people?0 -
Liverpool have got the hump about the severity of the ban (what a surprise).
The world must stand still whilst they appeal.0 -
Liverpool are going to lack bite upfront without him.0
-
I think they should appeal...................Then the FA find it frivolous and add an extra game.0
-
If they had an ounce of decency they would accept the ban without complaint and agree that what he did was unacceptable. But this is Liverpool we're talking about.0

I'm glad he got a long ban, I cant stand the horrible little man. I do however question the fa on how they come to their judgements... How is racism not as bad as biting? How is deliberately going in over the top on a tackle (and we all know when its deliberate or not) and possibly ending a career not as bad as biting? And if they really do think biting is such a serious offence, why did they let Defoe walk away with a yellow card for the same offence? They have it in their powers to have punished him more but saw fit that a yellow card would suffice. I really don't understand their logic.

I think in this instance it has shown the fa up as a comitee and governing body that has a huge inconsistency within it
But he was banned for 7 games at Ajax before he joined the scousers
And it left the fa unable to offer less than 7 and to be honest if you look at it in that context an additional 3 games as an increased second offence is reasonable
10 games is a fair ban based on the fact for the fist bite in holland he got 70 - Sponsored links:

The punishment isn't just based on one offence though. His 'previous' has to be taken into consideration. That's how punishments (should) work.uncle said:I'm glad he got a long ban, I cant stand the horrible little man. I do however question the fa on how they come to their judgements...

So 2 bites is 10 games and 1 bite is a yellow card?DRAddick said:

Think it would've been 3-4 game ban if he hadn't had previous.0

How often have you seen a free kick given for a foul in the middle of the pitch, but when the same type of foul is commited in the penalty area you get nothing?nth london addick said:I think in this instance it has shown the fa up as a comitee and governing body that has a huge inconsistency within it
Football and the FA are built on inconsistentcies. The fact that this has made front page news was never going to see him get off lightly. They,Liverpool, need to take it on the chin and stop embarrassing themselves.
Heard a sensible scouser on talkshyte the other day. He said if it had happened in Paisley's day he would of shown him the door...... Shankly would have put him through it!

It should also work that the punishment fits the crime, If I went in over the top to hurt someone and the ref see it gives me a red card! 3 match ban for trying to possibly end a career. If the ref had seen him do it he would not actually have been banned at all, maybe just a yellow (defoe) Now you explain to me how that is right?0
-
Nah mate the defoe issue and the fact it wasnt dealt with appropriately cant be used as the yard stick to measure suarez
0 -
Interesting to see if Suarez stays or the owners cash in, especially if they don't make it into Europe.0
-
It can mate because if the ref had seen suarez no one would be having this conversation... Thats where it all falls down, you just have to be lucky, get an alert ref and be dealt with on the day.

I'm not defending him, I'm trying to work out how that little shite defoe gets nothing because he had an alert ref?0
-
The difference is intent - you could argue with a late/high tackle that you simply got your timing wrong. It's hard to use that defence when you bite someone. The Defoe thing shouldn't be used as a precedent either. I can't recall the details there but this was something that deserved a lengthy ban.uncle said:It should also work that the punishment fits the crime, If I went in over the top to hurt someone and the ref see it gives me a red card! 3 match ban for trying to possibly end a career.

Possibly it creates an opportunity for Jonjo to get a few more games?
