I would have thought a transfer would be classed as administrative.

No I think he's just not allowed to do office work, making tea, that sort of thing.

They obviously saw the tv ad that he did and worried that he would take his barbarism into the office environment.

hehe, probably makes loads of tea around the office. Does it mean he can't take part in sponsorship work for the club, maybe personally as well, does that count as administrative? Hope so, would hit him in the wallet.
 
Its a decent length ban. At the end of the day Suarez bit the guy a little, he didn't take a chunk out of him. If you did what he did in the real world you wouldn't have charges pressed against you like some are saying.

Seems alright to me.
 
Oh my. I was actually expecting FIFA to bottle it and keep it to internationals. :p

Glad they haven't. Should it have been harsher? Perhaps, but this will do for me.

They're going to appeal it though...
 
He's banned from training with club and country, not banned from training full stop. There is no way they could enforce something like that.

Challenge: go down the shops and bite someone. 6 months later do it again. 6 months later do it again.

See if you avoid jail :)

That's not fair, there was at least a year in between each :p

Wonder what would happen if you elbowed or stamped on someone several times too
 
All I can say is that I've seen jail sentences (one suspended one served) handed down for on-field antics in the past when I've been playing.

It really is worth stating that making the ban for all levels of football is a huge step exceptionally rarely used which itself is a pretty huge step from Fifa.

It's also seemingly for 3 CL games up to when the ban is up. SO potentially 9 international games(I presume that includes up to 4 WC games), 9 league games, 3CL games and all friendlies.

He also can't step foot in a stadium during that time and I think it doesn't prevent him taking part in sponsorship duties, at least one related to his club, personal sponsorship might not count as related to football though... if the adverts have him in football kit or kicking a ball? Effectively sponsors aren't going to want to do a lot of work anyway in that time. So that will be a hit financially and he could lose contracts over it.

I think when you factor in the WC games and realise how important they would be to most players, it is effectively a very very strong ban.

EDIT:_ 26th October, is there a league cup game by then as well, must be?
 
Whether its fair on Suarez or not is neither here or there...where is is unfair is in the Liverpool Fans and the Club, and the only person to blame is Suarez himself. Hopefully Liverpool also discipline him accordingly.
