Suarez bites | "sorry for falling into him and biting him and that"

[RobinLFC]

They're not allowed to apparently, which is correct, because its got feck all to do with them.

Of course it has something to do with Liverpool, one of their employees is suspended for four months.

It's a weird punishment in my opinion. If Uruguay gets far in this tournament (which I don't think they will, but still) he only needs to miss like five international matches... It's weird to punish someone in terms of games, and on the other hand in terms of months. Further more, has it ever happened that a player gets suspended for his club for something he did in international football? It's deserved but I'm disappointed, more with him than anything else. Ah well, we're fecked anyway and he's the only one to blame. Should know better, and the worst thing of this all: he won't even learn from it.

 

[Black Adder]

So he won't even train with Liverpool in the next 4 months?

 

[Atheist]

The same English journalists who are criticizing him now will be the same ones who will vote for him in the FWA awards.

 

[Rednotdead]

All football related activity is pretty vague unless someone can explain this to me. If he's not allowed to train either, then he will surely miss more matches. Does transfer related activity involving him come under this 'football related activity'? I think it should. Am i asking for too much?

He can train anywhere he wants that's not a football premises under the auspices of the FA, e.g. the local gym or a public park, or his back garden.

 

[Moonred]

He's been banned for 34 games since 2010 without receiving one red card apparently. If I heard right then Sky Sports News just said he's banned from all sports?

What other sport does he play. Eat what you like?

 

[Oggmonster]

To be fair, he was wheeled out off hospital in a wheelchair a few weeks before destroying England.

He's a freak, in more ways than one.

True. It was only a month he was injured for though wasn't it then? (Using the term only lightly, it was obviously serious enough to put him in a wheel chair!)

He might be another Ronaldo who can seemingly gain fitness very quick, guess only time will tell. 4 months with no football or training with the team etc is a long time though.

 

[Smithy89]

Fifa grew some balls, but just not big enough.

 

[JustAFan]

I feel this is slightly excessive. Happy he has been punished, his bizarre action deserved it, but it seems an arbitrary and longer than required length. It also fails to solve the root of the problem. We should not be surprised if Suárez engages in this behaviour again, because there is a problem with this player who has already proven that banning him does not rectify his mistakes.

Fully expecting Suárez to engage in such behaviour in the next years, it is inevitable, and a true shame to see.

Really comes down to him to get the help though doesn't it and the real pressure to do that has to come from his club and his countries FA, also his agent needs to set him down and have a talk.

 

[Judas]

Does this mean Liverpool can't register him for the PL or CL, surely that comes under administrative activity?

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

So he won't even train with Liverpool in the next 4 months?

Are you sure? Because that would be brilliant.

 

[Man-United]

Rio was without football and training with the team for 8 months and come back and was Man of the match against Liverpool.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

Southampton H
Man City A
Tottenham A
Aston Villa H
West Ham A
Everton H
West Brom H
QPR A
Hull H

These the games he misses up to 25th October?

i belive thier are some CL fixtures in thier too.

thier is also a question of whether suarez will be allowed to even be registered for the CL as it an administrative ban too. i might be being a little hopeful, but how can you register a player for a competition if you have a compete administrative ban on that player?

the quote below is the fifa wording:

he player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.

 

[Eboue]

Very reasonable decision.

 

[Wolfboy]

Surely the dippers would be allowed to transfer him as it's a ban that applies to him and no the club.

The transfer is the sale of the ownership of a players contract to another club, the player being a commodity rather than someone taking part in footballing activities. They are just selling a dormant player.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Fair punishment

 

[Rednotdead]

From one perspective, it's harsh on Liverpool but remember the reason they got hold of him in the first place on the cheap was due to the biting incident at Ajax. He then followed that up with a second biting against Chelsea so it's not exactly like they weren't aware he was a ticking time bomb.

Plus they lied about the release clause in his contract when Arsenal bid for him. They admitted that recently. If they hadn't lied he'd have been an Arsenal player now. You reap what you sow.

I think he will finally learn, because he really cares about playing for Uruguay. Missing the tournament will be a big hit for him.
FIFA did good on this one, I think. May he finally learn that football is not war, anything goes does not apply to the game.

 

[Skills]

At least they have Rickie Lambert now.

Fifa aren't sure whether it includes transfers. Ludicrous.

Only because you chose to employ a nut case. The ban is for Suarez, you just chose to employ him.

I would imagine Suarez takes this to the CAS.

Fifa are making their rules up as they go along.

When did you turn into a full time WUM?

[Mystry]

Well he got one red card at the World Cup in 2010. But other than that I am struggling to think of a time he's been sent off for Liverpool, and not sure about at Ajax.

 

[PlayerOne]

Sounds to me like it includes transfers, so he can only be transferred in January.

Can FIFA ban a player from moving clubs? This is going court I would imagine.

 

[rcoobc]

He's banned from all football. This means professional training too.

Are you sure?

That seems to be from "match suspensions" part of the FIFA handbook. I.e., if a player receives a red card in the Champions League, he isn't banned from playing the Premier League.

This is a suspension of 9 International Fixtures, not 9 FIFA World Cup matches as far as I know.

I might be wrong, but International Friendlies are meant to be serious matches. They count for ranking points, they have limits on substitutes (6 not 7 as Belgium need to be reminded), and you cant just use players who dont belong to you. Compare that to club football, where the Seattle Sounders used over 1000 substitutes against United

 

[Guy Incognito]

At least they have Rickie Lambert now.

European nights at Anfield, made for him.

 

[MUFAN79]

Training on his own would drive him mad due to lack of human flesh. So that's all good.

 

[Planky]

Does this mean Liverpool can't register him for the PL or CL, surely that comes under administrative activity?

Now that would be funny.

 

[Barney]

When did you turn into a full blown WUM-mode?

You've got reputable journalists saying similar things.

Could still get worse for Liverpool fans

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Liverpool bought him knowing he had bitten a player. They stood by him when he did it again. Now he's done it AGAIN they can have no complaints that it has had a detrimental effect on them. F*ck 'em.

You have too much understanding for that creature it seems. Especially coming from a United fan..

How? I'm not arsed at this point if he goes providing we get Sanchez in return. I don't think the club will sell him for a cut price though.

"I had to leave Liverpool, the English media got me banned. I had to leave to escape their racist agenda."

 

[FromTheBench]

Not at all I just find it weird that Liverpool can't appeal when they are now involved and affected more than before.

They can surely take it to CAS and Courts after FIFA's appeal process is done ?

I imagine they will atleast want compensation as this was a FIFA tournament.

 

[Hed Zitin]

He can be transfered now apparently.
