Idiotic :thup:
Just to make it 100% clear to certain people
The offence is not in any doubt and there is no defence and he deserves to be punished - I am not the Uruguay FA nor his lawyer , nor his captain. The act has not been excused nor condoned - believe he should be punished the maximum ban permissible for international football - 24 month ban from any international game.

Hasn't he pretty much got that, as well? I don't know how many international games Uruguay play, but if it's only competitive games, then surely 9 is the best part of two years?

If the offence(s) warrant it Phil, yes, 100%

It's all relative to the offence!
Liverpool FC have released a statement saying they will not be releasing a statement just yet.

he is tainting himself even more by not coming out himself with a full admission of guilt and an apology.
how can Liverpool claim they will help him if he cannot even admit to the crime.
I don't buy this whole "hes mental, sick etc". he doesn't like losing, he acts child like,cries and bites. he knows exactly what he is doing.
awful waste of talent!

A few need to take a breather soon , Phil or none of the pool lads have condoned what happened, they all agree its wrong , what is upsetting the pool fans now is LS got banned for biting whilst at liverpool , liverpool took it on board got him back in line , dealt with it , got LS back on straight and narrow and got great football out of the guy , he then heads away with his country who obviously dont have the same support procedures and does it again ,
Yes by all means punish the player and his country who he was representing at the time BUT IMO everyone at Liverpool should be agrieved they have also been punished for something away from the club ..
I do agree with whoever made the drink driving analogy, a point well made , i just dont think liverpool should have to suffer so much what happened on International duty ..
And im a Toffee

OK then, devil's advocate..... other than the revulsion factor, wasn't Antonio Valencia's challenge last night more dangerous and risking greater injury to the opponent?

The issue wasn't sorted as the exact same thing has happened again.
I personally think he's trying to engineer a move out of Liverpool myself.

That's where the grey line is - which offences warrant it
If you include bitting a player then headbutting , broken limbs , spitting , possibly abuse of the officials start to creep into those areas
I would have no qualms about it as long as it's consistent which is half the problem in football - there is no consistency in the punishments handed out to players - in all the areas both club and country. So far in the last 3 years 5 players have been banned for racist abuse towards players - no punishment was the same
Bendtner for example got an £80 grand fine for showing paddy power on his boxers - Serbia got fined £26 grand for racist abuse towards players from their fans !

And he had done it before at Ajax so when did they deal with after the 2nd offence when it affected them?

Probably at a knock down price now as his new club look like having to pay his wages whilst not playing for 1/4 of the season.
Plus he's obviously not very well liked so that would affect sponsorship deals.

The sponsorship angle is an interesting one.
How many Club sponsors are going to want to be associated with LS....?

Dangerous yes, malicious IMO no pre meditated and attempted 12 months previous no.

People always trot stuff like that out at times like this. The fans are not the club/team so the Serbians only have so much control over them. When somebody has actually committed an offence and are charged themselves they are always going to be punished harder.
FWIW I think he has got off lightly. 3rd offence now and he should have been looking at the maximum 2 year ban from international football.
The domestic ban is harsh on Liverpool but not on Suarez, tough one that. Never heard of it impacting on a players club like that before.

Nah he was unlucky with that, he bounced off the ball a bit like Sterling's red in the warm up games.
Red was fair due to duty of care etc but nothing malicious there imo.
A lot different to getting the fangs out and chomping somebody as biting isn't actually part of football (Take notice Luis)

Yes, but that's not the point.
Suarez' bite was a premeditated assault on an opponent several yards off the ball when the referee would not be looking, a cowardly attack.
Valencia's was a full blooded tackle during which his foot bounced/rolled off the ball onto his opponent's leg. Dangerous, yes ................ premeditated, no, behind the ref's back, definitely not.
Subtle differences there.
