It's all like a friggin' nightmare this. EVERY LFC fan I've spoken to over the past 2 days has said exactly the same. shocked

Not if they are worth £100 million they wouldn't

That's why I said 'any other'...loosely speaking.

It makes no sense though that he is banned from Liverpool matches for something he did while playing for Uruguay.

I know my belief counts for nothing, but I would be very surprised if the ban stands as far as LFC is concerned. It'll get overturned.


Do LFC actually have ANY say or right to appeal to FIFA on this?


I doubt we do, but this punishment is a little over the top

Do you remember this?

And how long was he banned for?

10 games total cry

Didn't Suarez play for Uruguay when he was banned for the Ivanovic bite. I know the FA can't ban him for internationals but that just seems like an added kick in the balls.

They don't need to discipline him as he won't be playing for us come September 1st.

Way too harsh. Someone should nibble his shoulder causing small indentations that fade away 5 minutes later. That way, the punishment WOULD fit the crime perfectly.

B0ll0cks - people don't bite because of a lack of discipline. This is a reflex he can't control - deep-rooted in his psyche probably due to his upbringing. The man needs psychiatric help not endless condemnation and moral posturing. Football is full of ugliness - and that was an ugly game he was involved in. What FIfA have done is unprecedented and disproportionate.


Ring 'em up and tell them then.
I'm sure they'll listen...and ignore.

His responsibility to behave outside LFC's control is HIS responsibility, not the Uraquay FA or anyone else's.


He'll appeal and the ban will be reduced. He has shown on several occasions that in a pressure situation when things aren't going his way, he loses control. In legal terms, that is defined as diminished responsibility. Whilst there should be some kind of punishment, it should only effect him personally, ie a large fine and some type of community service. No one can say it was a planned act of lunacy. He has a problem and should be helped with some kind of counselling or therapy to begin with immediate effect.

If he can prove that he has some sort of diagnosable mental health problem I'm sure the punishment will have to be reduced. Let's face it he does have something wrong with him and I would be very surprised if it's never been diagnosed.

Wasn't this the case at the end of the 202/3 season too though?
