No but I think you might be
Been there. Done that
Some perspective... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...k-value-and-get-some-perspective-9563690.html
He's going to get a 6 match international ban. At most. Because although FIFA are possibly the most corrupt organisation on Earth, they're not the FA. What us plebs think about this is irrelevant. And so it should be.

He'll get more, but not much.
My point is they are clutching straws with their "reasons".
You edited out my second paragraph, I take it you agreed?
I didn't read it.

That's why I ask. Can imagine fifa doing this and then suarez then suing them, oh the rage if he won. I say 2 year international football ban but not club
which wont do **** all as no tournament happens every year in international level. the next world cup is in 4 years too and he be fit and raring to bite someone again in russia
So given that realistically he'll probably get a 10 match ban at most what are the chances that this was all a setup to make his imminent move away from Liverpool more acceptable to the Liverpool fans?
Watching SSN with Phil Thompson, Liverpool fans etc and it's overwhelming that they're talking in terms of getting rid of him to Spain, even an FA guy saying that's it's unlikely he'll play in England again, almost like they're preparing people for his departure. Liverpool have officially said nothing whereas before with the Evra/Ivanovic incidents they couldn't get behind him fast enough along with Phil Thompson etc and you didn't get SSN showing Liverpool fans screaming to get rid.
It would also backup what his lawyer said (which I initially laughed at) about it being a European conspiracy.
An article from before the Italy match claiming that Spanish sources say he is going to Barcelona:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...for-Barcelona-according-to-Spanish-media.html
End result: Barcelona get their man, Liverpool sell him without looking like a selling club with no ambition and Suarez gets his move without being forever branded a traitor.
I guess we'll have to see what FIFA do, just putting some thoughts out there.

Huh? Which Liverpool fans are talking about getting rid? A small few who want to remain politically correct or who are dumb enough to think we can replace him and do better?
Also how did we get behind Suarez after the Ivanovic incident? The day after he had to apologise and the MD+BR spoke on how it was unacceptable
Also why would we need to say anything, he hasn't done it playing for Liverpool?

Clearly a Liverpool fan !
I can't believe you call that "perspective". lol That is absurd. Can't believe that got published in the paper!
Does he just use that as an excuse to bite someone?
Which will get less than drug taking, and those get a ban for yearssss.
Fair enough. But we are not talking about cheating, we are talking about violent conduct that if it is off the pitch, he would be arrested.
He conveniently enough purposely left out the important point of intent. You can do both of the above unintentionally in football.
So what if it was 11 years ago? It only shows that the guy had over a decade and is STILL violent !
His mind...which is his opinion and carries as much weight as anyone else's.
Heat of the moment? What? the ball was nowhere near him at the time, and Chiellini was facing away from him ! That's his excuse? Heat of the moment and we can now start biting other players? Is he using the Insanity Defence?
Draw blood? Do we REALLY want to wait until he draws blood before throwing the book at him? 3rd time biting isn't enough?
What kind of medication is this guy on?
What an awful article.

I have given about half a dozen reasons for that to be irrational.
That article is as rational as biting someone on a football pitch.
Funnily enough, another person conveniently quoted me but without the rest of my post.
I take it you agreed with me too on ALL those points lol

It's all about perspective, great article.
Utter dribble!!
If it's what the 'rational'
people think then why the world wide outrage My four nephews are football mad (like most youngsters) and they have been subjected to this disgustingly barbaric and pathetically unsportsmanlike behavior
I have spent a lot of time and effort demonstrating good sportsmanlike behavior with my nephews when playing sports, i.e shake hands at end of match, no gloating, no cheating, humility, fairness, being magnanimous ...etc ..etc
This racist violent scum bag should be punished with the strictest available option, a clear message needs to be sent to young sports players that this type of behavior is utterly unacceptable !!
That article is utter nonsense. Boils down to the same deflecting that the mainly Liverpool fans are resorting to; let's list all of the worse things that he didn't do to try and somehow make it seem almost acceptable.
I don't understand this type of 'support' tbh. If a player had done a quarter of this stuff for my team, I would want him out no matter how good he was.

So what? If they ban him for life that'll be his own doing.
It's not just about "actual damage caused", it's about repeat offenders. Why do you think the US has the 3 strike rule for GTA? 3rd time GTA offence is life imprisonment. Stealing a car is a minimal offence right? Insurance will pay for it blah blah blah, but if you don't learn your lesson and keep doing it, then the system will make sure you'll never have the chance to ever do it again.
It's the same principle. Funnily enough if he had elbowed someone in the face, we wouldn't be here right now. It's only because he bites, something that is so outside the game which isn't part of the game which is why we are here. To tolerate it means biting players on the pitch is okay to do as long as you don't draw blood.
That, is absurd.
Well Suarez has already moved on. It used to be a vendetta by the English media, now they have included the Italians as well.
He is totally deluded. He thinks he can receive a ban for biting someone, then do it again a year later on the biggest stage possible and nobody will do anything...And I see some people saying a 6 game ban. That would be ridiculous as he got more than that for biting Ivanovic. You can't give him less for totally ignoring you and doing it again...I know one was from the FA and this one will be from Fifa, but still, anything less would be a farce!

Even Harold shipman was still eligible for selection to play for his country after he was convicted, banning Suarez for being sub human scum and a danger to other players is just completely over the top.
