Van Persie for top scorer then
I don't think he was ever gonna be back this season
, he doesn't deserve it after biting someone anyways.
Might as well not bother turning up to games then. In fact just put complete youth out to give them some experience.
Where did I say assaulting somebody was ok? The size of the punishment you receive should reflect the severity of the crime you commit.
What Suarez done was stupid and wrong however most of the outrage seems to be down to simply how unusual it was rather than the severity of what he actually done. What Suarez done was no more violent than had he punched, kicked, elbowed or headbutted Ivanovic yet his punishment is more than 3 times as big.
And before you dribble on about 'repeat offenses' - Suarez's first ban in Holland was more than what you'd get for punching somebody for a start and secondly, if a player is sent off for violent conduct this season and again the following season, he'd still only receive a 3 match ban.
Or play Sturridge?
Carroll was let go because he had no place in Rodgers plans, he's hardly going to recall him for the last 4 games when we're no shorter of options now than when he was let go.
Wasn't it 3? Tevez, Aguero and then Kompany.

Finally, the FA actually do something right.
He bit someone for goodness sake. Indefensible. It wasn't a mistimed tackle. He deliberately intended to bite him.
Quite right he shouldn't be allowed on a football pitch for a long time!
You can't defend biting, imagine if Suarez had some kind of disease and broke the skin?!?! But no it's fine, he didn't break the skin, give him a standard ban. HAHA! Liverpool fans.

What has been seen cannot be un-seen
Doesn't matter if the FA aren't meant to take the previous bite into consideration or not it happened, the FA know it happened and he obviously hasn't learnt from the previous ban
On that previous ban I keep seeing everyone saying that the Dutch FA only banned him for 5 games and it was Ajax themselves that increased that to 7 but does anyone have any actual statement from the Dutch FA themselves confirming they only banned him for 5 games?
Aguero however gets away scott free then ?
How about Morgan on Hume, Defoe BITING Mascherano and Thatcher etc
Ridiculous suspension.
Good and a perfectly acceptable ban for behaviour which is not expected from any civilised human being on or off the pitch. These so called “professionals” are expected to lead by example and not show such disgusting behaviour. An example has been set and rightly so.
The FA have got it right for once, Even ten-year-olds should now realise that taking a chunk out of your mate on the pitch isn’t really the done thing.

Like I've said repeatedly dodgy tackles are part of the game, being bitten isn't.
Yes Aguero should have been handed retrospective punishment (although even then it was only ever going to be 3 games) but the two aren't even remotely comparable

I agree Aguero shouldn't have got away with that.
But doesn't mean Suarez shouldn't be given a lengthy ban.
I'm pretty sure it was 3 accounts of violence so 3+3+3=9 and another 3 for repeat offence.
Suarez one account = 3 and another 3+3+1 for eh, oh.
That wasn't a tackle mate, that's called an assault.
Dodgy tackle? He lunged two footed at the guy ball absolutely no where near, that wasn't a tackle it was a drop kick don't talk complete ****e.
And he robbed points from Chelsea
Initially a 20 game ban then

Yeah Suarez was a saint prior to Sunday wasn't he
Like it or not he's bitten someone before, he's got an International ban looming for punching someone, he was lucky to get away with kicking Parker last season and this season he was lucky to get away with stamping on someone; whether the FA are allowed to or not all these things tot up and sooner or later he's got what he deserves
lol Pot kettle Purdy pot kettle
People are sent off for tackles where they're no where near the ball all the time, Footballers know dodgy tacklers (however you want to interpret them) are part of the game and it's what they sign up for having some **** biting you on the other hand isn't part of the game

totally agree they arent remotely the same and it wasnt a get at a particular team or player. it is just the most recent example i could think of of something that was violent conduct that was not retrospectively punished.
