Suarez 10 game ban (updated page 23)

Re: Suarez 10 game ban

So he gets 8 games for racially abusing someone and 10 games for biting someone??? Well done FA you got it spot on again

Yes, they did.

I cannot understand why anyone should be thinking that racial abuse is worse than physical violence.

Biting someone is actual bodily harm and is punishable by a prison sentence of up to 5 years. Unlikely to get prison on a first offence, but expected for a second offence. And given he's done it before, he can look at trivial football ban as being getting off lightly in the extreme.

If YOU had done it, you might be looking at 6 months in the nick.

Its about intent.. Suarez went out of his way to bite the player,he knew what he was doing..

Many players get bans although they didnt mean to hurt but the wrecklessness of the tackle deserved a ban..
Its like the difference between manslaughter and murder..Manslaughter is when you didnt plan it, murder is when you did..

Suarez was done for murder as such.
If you see what I mean.

I'm in 2 minds on this one.


Firstly the argument that if the ref had seen it and sent him off they can only give a 3 match ban.....wrong. Ref saw thatchers tackle and yet retrospectively was increased.

But I'm sue Defoe did exactly the same thing a few seasons back.....but got no 10 game ban. So why the inconsistency as a precedent had been set ?

Defoe was an England international.

And the small matter of the rules not allowing them to punish Defoe further back then.

Reina apparently been on Spanish radio playing the race card on the Suarez ban. They just don't learn do they?

I think you can answer your own question!

Anyone reckon that Suarez might decide to leave England now? Apparently he's been heart broken or something like that (which I don't understand, he should have known what was coming..)

Many rumours are saying Rodgers asked Suarez to do something to get Liverpools name in the press and to earn him a route out of the club so the club won't be vilified by fans when they sell him.

I know, conspiracy theories but I'm putting it out there after reading.

The bans deserved imo, bit long considering worse stuff has been punished less. I'd say Rooneys elbow on the Wigan player (McCarthy?) was worse for example.

Biting an opponent really is mental. Tapped player for sure.

I cant for life of me understand how rooney got away with that one
But suarez biting a player for no apparent reason is far far worse
It was something you watched and couldnt quiet believe what you were witnessing.

A 10 game ban is incredibly harsh but you have to look at the context. Firstly he has previous for this sort of thing (which funnily enough got him the move to Liverpool in the first place) so the FA could hardly be less strict than the Dutch FA, who set the precedent.

Secondly, he's already been involved in one high profile & controversial case, resulting in an 8-game ban since arriving here so that should have acted as an incentive to keep a lower profile. As part of that, Liverpool made a collective idiot of themselves and challenged the FA full-on. They don't like that at the FA so he's paying for that as well, despite Liverpool's PR machine making a better fist of it this time. But if you go to court and get found guilty, your previous record will generally be taken into account during sentencing.

I think Liverpool's owner are ambitious and would prefer to keep him. If they wanted to get rid there are better ways to do it, which wouldn't impact his value but I wouldn't put it past Suarez himself to force the issue.

THIS

I don't get why people find the need to compare the two offenses just because punishment given is in similar method ( ban from games).
Similar thing happened at Euro Cup last summer as well when everyone was comparing Bendtner's 100,000 fine for sponsor violation with Croatia's 12,000 fine for racism. There is no comparison between the offenses. Stop seeing it through that prism.<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 25, 2013 3:35 pm --<br /><br />and like night follows day, Rio Ferdinand makes it a point to stay at the forefront of anti-racism campaign.

@rioferdy5: I honestly think we need to revamp the punishment system we have in place in our game.Doesn't make sense at all. @OllieHolt22 great article

I'd sooner be bitten rather than be elbowed but that's just me.

Rooney was a sneaky thug of a **** and there's no other way to put it.

Suarez just seemed to be frustrated and lose the plot. As others have said, he's got form for it. Best way to teach him is to be harsh. I see a dipper is stating 'a witch-hunt' is out for him. Lets have it right, he's a diving, cheating, racist bastard who loves to take a nibble out of an opponent. Nopne of it has a place in the game and although he's obviously world class he's a shower of shit who needs to be taught a lesson and be pulled into line. If that club cant ssort him then they need to sell. I cannot accept their fans stciking up and justifying what he did. It was wrong and his ban is deserved. As for witch-hunt I'd say Balotelli was worse served because a simple haircut got the same change of haircut got the same headlines.

It's funny how few of the pundits who said 'he doesn't justify his attitude on the field with performances' have gone quiet isn't it? He's hit the ground running at Milan and the silenece is deafening.

Back to Suarez. he will be sold by Liverpool imo, Standard Charter will seek it if last season is to go by.
