KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Suarez Banned for 10 Games

Bayern, Barca, Madrid, Milan, Juventus etc can surely afford to have him out for 6 games even for £40 million i have no doubt about that, but this ban means if he does leave were only looking at £30 million or so, all that aside we must see this as stupid behaviour no matter how you try justify it as he's now going to miss our run in this season and the first 6 of next season, he cost the team big time. Maybe now others will have to step up, but another lengthy ban 2 seasons in a row is not good enough

The bigger question is on clarity of the bans. I predicted it would be 12, so in a way, I am glad I was wrong. Ultimately, the problems lie in the FA. Without adding credence to any suggestion that Utd run the show, why is there no clear structure to the length of a ban? Surely there should be clear rules to ensure this kind of targeting doesn't happen. There should be clear differences between bans for violent conduct, verbal and physical abuse, and all players should be subject to this.

If they laid this out now, in light of the incident, I'd accept it knowing that the justification and punishment are fair to all. I reckon Liverpool should appeal, but demand that the current 10 game ban will start this weekend, irrespective of whether they choose to reduce it. That they could choose to lengthen it truly shows how wrong the system can be, or should I say just is!

Only subjectivity separates a guy punching a guy and a guy biting a guy and how bad these look and are on the field. Where does the random allocation of 10 games come from? Its a bizarre and dated way to judge situations and needs addressing now.

A 10 GAME BAN is is ridiculously excessive and shows they have punished the man and not the offence,
he did deserve a ban and i was expecting a 5 game ban tops i guarantee if it was suarez who tackled dangerously like

Callum Mcmanaman on Massadio Haidara

or

Sergio Aguero on David Luiz

He would have been fined\banned retrospectively they have had it in for him since the evra incident and this proves iit for me completely biased FA witch hunt.

Agree jj. This ban is based purely on the subjectivity of a three man panel. Like you say, there should be a structure in ace so all is fair. Remember Teflon Terry only got a 4 game ban for racism and Suarez got 8!

I hope the club come out and slam the FA and the length of the ban.

Ive heard the written report will be out tomorrow,It took weeks/months beofre the John terry written report was put out,strange that isnt it?

Suarez needs to be punished and there's no doubt about that. But to just pluck a number out of the air is rediculous! If he'd punched him in the face he would have got less! And this bull [oops] with the Defoe bite being seen so no retrospective action can be taken is [oops] stupid too. It's basically saying do what the [oops] you like as long as the ref sees it and cards you!

...and I for one wouldn't blame him one iota.

The sweet FA are a bunch of disgraceful gin swigging obnoxious racists.
Absolutely staggered by the disgusting severity. Completey OTT.
I sincerely hope LFC are going to appeal

Not many are putting any blame onto Suarez surely he must have some responsibility not the first time is it ?

Not saying the sentence is right but

it sounds like they might going off ayres response i really hope they do as its a ridiculous ban

LFC managing director Ian Ayre said: "Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of today's Independent Regulatory Commission decision.

"We await the written reasons tomorrow before making any further comment."

Suarez is completely to blame for the offence but this ban is verging on an offence from the fa completely over the top in my opinion
