to think Suarez needs to be banned or something?

[passmethewineplease]

Apparently bit an Italian player.

First Ajax, then Ivanovic now this.

Surely he shouldn't be allowed to play for his country if he is capable of doing this again?

The idea that Liverpool will take any action against him is ridiculous.

The signed him after the Ajax biting incident and the 2010 WC when he deliberately blocked the Ghana goal with his hand and then gloated about it and they supported him through the Evra racism thing, which so wasn't 50/50. They are entirely complicit in creating the monster.

Barcelona also know all this about him and are still going to sign him. There's no denying, the man is a genius on the pitch (and a huge money spinner) and therefore no-one in football will have the will to sanction him.

FIFA could ban him from international football for up to 2 years, but not domestic football in England or Spain. They won't though. My prediction is 3 games, which will effectively mean the end of this WC. Uruguay won't progress without him, and TBH were unlikely to anyway.

It's disgusting acts like this that give football a bad name. Now, of course, Suarez is the exception but it gives an overall bad message.

He shouldn't be allowed to play football as he can't behave when he plays. He has bitten 3 times....he's not under 2. My sister s 3 year old knows that's wrong. Mum was a teacher during some football game when a nose got bitten. She returned to school to hear all the children saying he been a bad person to bite so deserved to get punished. If this biter gets away without a ban whats it teaching children or other places. If you bite you can still play! Disgusted with the football world at the moment. Will someone think of the children.....

People not places...autocorrect

I'm gonna have to name change

TBF London, the football world is considering it's options ATM. The ref couldn't do anything at the time if he didn't see the incident himself and FIFA have given Uruguay until 5pm (Brazil time) to present their case.

FiFA will take some action, I'm sure of that. It remains to be seen if that will be stringent enough.

Liverpool have had plenty of opportunity to take action against him in the past and haven't done - I would argue that if they had any respect for the game, they shouldn't have signed him in the first place. Barcelona the same.

Liverpool and its fans are at least partially responsible for this. If he had been sacked after the Evra incident, or at the very least, the ivanovich incident! he probably wouldn't have gone on to bite AGAIN. They have made him feel invincible, untouchable, as if the rules of civilization don't apply to him. This is the result. They are still making excuses for him today (fans anyway). Every comment is either preface or suffixes by a comment about what an amazing player he is. As if that excuses everything. He should be banned for life. It wouldn't be restraint of trade, you can be expelled from many professions (including my own) for GPM.

I think he is a vile little man. I would actually like Uruguay to be chucked out of the World Cup for this. I know that won't happen, but it might be the only thing that makes him realise what he does is beyond the pale.

I really dislike Liverpool FC for the way they backed and supported him over his racist attack on Evra. I think they completely showed themselves up. I wouldn't want my DC to support Liverpool and if they did there would be no way in this earth that they would ever have a Suarez shirt.

Exactly Chunderella, they knew all that about him but they still signed him thus perpetuating the idea that however he behaves is fine and dandy because he's (indisputably) a very talented footballer.

Not biting someone isn't the same as being incident free. There were 28 months between the first two biting incidents (although he was banned for a huge chunk for the racist thing during that time). And 13 months between the second and third biting incidents. He is not improving, the situation is escalating. Sending him to a psychologist clearly hasn't worked, they should have sacked him. They are very culpable. A disgraceful club. Their blind eye is permanently turned. He doesn't need help he needs banning and sacking.

Liverpool fans on the radio now saying what a terrible childhood Suarez had, and that he's the best footballer in Liverpool with a heart of gold and he should be left alone.

And there is at least another Red who has said he needs to go. I am not the only one here.... he is embarrassing.

The work with the psychologist did seem to go well, he settled...but the international stage obviously overwhelmed the poor bunny... pratt!

He behaved almost normally (still a bad tempered niggly player with a terrible attitude who fakes injury and tries to get other players sent off)for ONE season. Don't overstate it.

My Liverpool fan friends are all doing the excuse excuse mitigate mitigate thing. It's like they have all drunk the Kool aid (they did the same over Dalgleish's support for him over the Evra incident too).

So if (as I suspected) FIFA don't have the power to ban a player from domestic football, do the FA have the power to ban him?

Or will Prem players just have to arm themselves with garlic and crucifixes?

Frontier they might still ban him then. Oh I thought he got away. Sorry hadn't watched the news just the headlines and upset he wasn't sent off at the time. Tbh his team should be removed from the World Cup. But I bet everyone think I'm being too strong with that. Manners and behaviour!

If I bite a patient (as if I ever would) I'd be struck off and never work again in my profession and quite right. I think the same should be for him. A couple of match bans is nothing. He needs to be banned from playing football full stop (life time ban) as this isnt the first time!

Chunderella - Suarez isn't the only nasty player but it's ridiculous to say 'they all' act like him. They don't. Most don't. He's a fundamentally dishonest player.

When the Liverpool players came out in T-shirts with Suarez on them after he had been given a ban for the Evra incident, Liverpool FC were saying rascim is okay. They were sticking two fingers up to the "Kick it out campaign".

Fairy exactly. And King Kenny was behind that. A disgraceful club.

I agree with you london, I said it up thread. I think it might be the only way to start getting through to him.

Anyway just my little opinion which I don't think the football world would be interested in. If your child did this at a school football match would you let him play again as can you trust him to behave.

Fairy glad I'm not the only one. Anyway we wait till 5pm (was that right frontier) to find out if the football world is honourable....personally I'd be watching andy on TV.

Yes London, unless he/Uruguay manage to "prove" it was an accident or didn't happen he will definitely get a ban of some sort. We should know by this time tomorrow how long it will be.

The rules don't allow for the team to be disqualified and TBH that's a good thing. Where would the line be? This was nasty because we have a great natural aversion to biting (a biting child is somehow more bad than a hitting child) but other players have committed fouls that were far more dangerous and just as deliberate.

No, AFAIK, the FA can't ban him for something that happened in a game outside it's jurisdiction.
