Suarez ban

[s.a.m]

10 matches. 4 remaining games this season, and 6 next.

[Scouse Hibee]

10 games what a ****** disgrace!

I'm not talking about the length of the ban, I'm talking about the fact that Liverpool have stood by this clown who now takes his total to 18 games banned due to stupid, irresponsible and disgraceful behaviour.
So he sits on erse still getting paid and misses 4 games this season and 6 the next!! How any Liverpool fan can back this erse is totally beyond me. "No player is bigger than the club" I beg to differ, LFC have proved that statement to be total nonsense IMO.

[Newry Hibs]

I suspect an appeal will be made and the result to be a 5 game ban and 5 suspended.

Knowing Suarez he'd still end up serving the 5 suspended games.

They would be insane to appeal it.

[JeMeSouviens]

What did Cantona get for the kung fu thing?

[TomoHFC]

8 games for racism and 10 games for biting. Surely it's ment to be less for biting that it is for racism

Agreed - if it had been 2 different players. As it's the same guy the 2nd ban is probably higher because of the 1st ban (repeat offender).

Nae chance of Liverpool appealing this after last years bad PR.

[hughio]

There was a aek Athens player who got ban for life from playing for Greece and was suspended until the end of the season for a nazi salute.

[Hibercelona]

Another 10 games holiday, with full wages.

What a treat!

[pontius pilate]

The problem is Saurez has previous for this disgusting behaviour not just here but abroad as well.
IIRC at 14 he head butted an official in Uruguay resulting in the official having a broken nose. Biting whilst at Ajax . Racism and now this. As someone already pointed out since being at Liverpool he has received in total an 18 game ban. How the club or supporters can stand by him is disgusting as well.

[GreenCastle]

These cases don't involve what he did previously though do they?

There are plenty of players in world football who are just as bad - Pepe and Ramos at Madrid both have been sent off many times and I think Ramos number of red card bans = close to a full season of games.

Would be surprised if Rodgers wants to sell his best player and make his team weaker and possibly cost him his managers job.

I think Liverpool have dealt with this very poorly.

If they had any sense they would have barred him for seven games - FA would have accepted that.

Their comms has been very poor, and when he said it was only a 3 game ban - sorry, that was the nail in the coffin.

Really sad to see a great club let themselves down.

[allezsauzee]

He should be banned from football indefinitely.

[alan1875]

I think it's excessive... He's a total numpty but 10 games... He didn't bite it off... Did he even break the skin... :-)

5 woulda been more appropriate and I'm a Utd fan when it comes to Engurland btw.

Joey Barton 12 games (unbelievable i know) for a 'soft' headbutt and a kick in the thigh.

Might be out with his control. People above might say eniugh is enough

[frazeHFC]

I agree a ban is needed, but seems biting hasn't always been punishable... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ur/6076094.stm

[lucky]

Each case must be looked at individually , he has previous of biting in Holland, then his racism antics now this. I think he has got of lightly. In any other walk of life he would have been dismissed. But it's football. Liverpool yet again have handled this badly. If they had come out and suspended him till then end of the season and made public his fine then he might have got a slightly less ban. He is wonderful footballer but appears to be a horrible individual.

[NYHibby]

They should loan him to Hearts as he won't have to serve out the rest of the ban that way. It has worked for Liverpool in the past...

[hibsbollah]

LFCs response to the ban is they are 'surprised and disappointed'. Which is surprising and disappointing. No morality at that club anymore, which is a shame for the fans.

[J-C]

So can anyone explain how you get a longer ban for biting than you get for racially abusing someone

[hibsmad]

Liverpool should get rid as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how good a player he is, the club should simply say, we are better than this, and look to sell him in the summer.

The sad thing for me is that there would be a queue of top clubs looking to sign him. It's almost as if they would say "well he hasn't done anything disgraceful while at our club so it doesn't count".

The guy is a massive bell end.

Seen that, Liverpool are a joke of a club. Suarez is a wee rat.

[LeighLoyal]

Way too harsh, but I suspect he knew what he was doing though and this might get him a 4m a year raise at Real Madrid, Barca or PSG for next year.
