I imagine that wouldn't be the case but instead Colombia would get a free pass. I imagine though Uruguay will play no matter what they say.Good thing is that we'll get to see Pirlo again
Suarez bites | "sorry for falling into him and biting him and that"
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
I am mostly going on the impression that appealing harsh verdicts inevitbly seems to produce some sort of compromise when it comes to FIFA. They generally seem content enough with the signal value of the first verdict.
They would have been far better just saying he's banned until December 31st.
Indeed. maybe we ought to convene something along the lines of the "Truth and Reconciliation" committee.
Scenario: "Although we had an interest in the player, we as a club can not be associated with such values. We will not pursue Luis Suarez" - Real and barca.
Suarez would be destroyed. I can easily see that Luis Suarez just might hae destroyed his footballing future.

So a 14-19 game ban. Umm.....given friendlies and a max of 4 here(which obviously won't happen). 2 CL and 2 Cup games.
Only in a small minority of cases.
Besides the Uruguayans are bound to come up with something really comical in the appeal and FIFA wont be impressed.

Can't believe he done it again it really beggars believe to even contemplate biting another human being.
Liverpool will be delighted. They've shown time and again they'll sink to new lows for Suarez, so if this means keeping him, they'll be delighted to sacrifice 14 games (or whatever it is) if it means keeping him another couple of years.

Luis Suarez: Liverpool have won 47.7% of their 107 PL games with Suarez starting and 61.9% of the 21 without him since signing in 2011 #LFC
I'd actually be surprised if they didn't offload him tbh, or at least try. having said that, we all know he will be an a**hole again
This is terrible news. Any sane person can see Fifa have made a mistake with this ban.
Because with no football he's now free to spend the next four months stalking the streets late at night looking for prey. Stay safe people.

Maybe now they can release him in the wild.
Yea but you thought the denial was a good tactic, so....
exactly. it's common sense. go into a courtroom and admit your guilt and be remorseful and you'll probably get a kinder sentence, deny everything whilst using a quite frankly ludicrous defence and you'll get a tougher sentence. what lawyer were they using exactly? what a twat.
Would probably be a danger to the public still.
They should have got Borat to defend them.
No probably about it, under UK sentencing guidelines admission of guilt early gets you 1/3rd reduction, admission after trial date is set gets you 1/4, if you wait until the case starts you can still get 1/10 off.
Not enough.
12 months should be the minimum. It's the third time he bites someone.

I bet Liverpool are annoyed that they're appealing this 
I can see it being extended once the appeal is swiftly and rightfully denied.

Good stuff.
Well in the whole of history there's never been a player nuts enough to bite 3 different people 3 different times over the course of 5 years, so there's no precedent at all for this situation and therefore they pretty much have to make it up as they go along. Barneybollcks as per usual.
Both Rio and King Eric had to do the same when sitting out there bans. Its not new.
I believe , from memory, Cantona played some behind closed doors friendlies before his return and they had to be 30 minutes a half to avoid breaking the stipulations.
He should have got longer IMO. The thing that gets me the most is that he doesnt seem to think that he has or has ever done anything wrong. Its no wonder he is the way he is when you have Liverpool fans and Uruguans coming out and denying everything and all the other rubbish they have spouted.
can't a man just bite in peace?
Sorry if this has been covered, but what's the deal with the appeal? They have three days, right? Does that mean they can wait until Sunday and he plays on Saturday?
He can't play the next game regardless.
It really does leave you wondering what the next ban will be.
I'm astonished at how genuinely stupid people can rise to such positions.
I'm utterly baffled by the comments coming out of the Uruguay camp. Does my head in.
How will Liverpool get rid of Suarez?, who would buy him?
I don't understand how that works - if they are appealing on the basis that he didn't do it (and this is very much hypothetical!), then surely he can't miss a match prior to the appeal?
(And I've definitely not got him in my Fantasy League team. Oh no, not at all)
I fail to understand how Liverpool fans and Uruguay continue to defend Suarez's actions. Their unconditional support everytime he does something stupid is the reason he hasn't reformed. A club of Liverpool's stature should get rid of him. Yes he scores goals but every season he misses a significant number of games through suspension. Are they that desperate to have a superstar in their squad that they'll put up with any nonsense he comes up with? FIFA did the right thing swift, decisive action not the longwinding bureaucracy we see from the BPL and FA before they reach a decision. Liverpool should try to get rid of him as soon as possible. I can't wait to see their club statement.
It's a bit disturbing how Uruguay and some pool fans think this is unjust.
