It would be brilliant if the cameramen they have scanning the crowd for perv cam duties found Suarez with a big hat and a dodgy fake moustache on, after which we have a hilarious Benny Hill style chase between security and Suarez in the stands.

AS for offering rehabilitation... seriously? It's Fifa, despite what people think they don't actually have a GDP of trillions, and a national health service, they are a footballing organisation, there isn't an awful lot they can do. More to the point he supposedly had help last time, it made no difference. This is as usual a man who is utterly convinced he's done nothing wrong at all, but realises in the public's eye he has to act contrite and what not so spouted some crap about how he'd never do it again, felt bad, blah blah blah. It's all rubbish.

He genuinely seems beyond help, I'd be quite surprised if he didn't do something again this season, be it another bite or just stamping on players, no chance he won't dive and whine at ref way more than anyone else as per usual.

I just hope the next bad thing he gets done for isn't breaking someone's leg, if it is that player will hopefully sue the living **** out of everyone who let Suarez back on the pitch to do it.

It won't be taken as anything but anti Liverpool, but I genuinely hope Barca/Real have the balls to turn their nose up at Suarez. Rewarding him again with a bigger contract at a bigger team... it would be shameful. Yes it's harsh on Liverpool to lose out on the money but they took that risk and it SHOULD backfire because Suarez doesn't deserve it. Angers me greatly that no matter how many nasty things he does, he gets rewarded every time. Liverpool should fine all his wages, no one should show real interest in Suarez and no one should be wanted to be associated with him and he can go back to Uruguay and play in a league where the country has no problem with biting and cheating.

It won't happen, either he'll stay at Liverpool for ages and get more and more money, or Barca will be pathetic and buy him regardless, making him even richer. All the bans in the world don't matter if they keeps getting richer, moving up and doing better.
 
Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini - the player bitten by Luis Suarez - says he believes the punishment given to the Uruguay striker is "excessive".
Suarez has been given a nine-match international ban, as well as four-suspension from all football, meaning he can no longer be in contact with the Uruguay squad.
"I have always considered unequivocal the disciplinary interventions by the competent bodies, but at the same time I believe that the proposed formula is excessive," said Chiellini.
"I sincerely hope that he will be allowed, at least, to stay close to his team-mates during the games because such a ban is really alienating for a player."

That made me laugh more than it probably should have :D

Oh, so because he is a good striker, the rules should be different for him and if he occassionally steps over the line there should be exceptions made? Errr no!

He is mostly getting at, I believe, that the training/stadium ban is over the top. Cutting him off from his team mates is potentially overly harsh, but it might be what he needs to learn his lesson. ultimately bans are about teaching a lesson to the player and he's had his chances. Fifa need to take into account giving him a ban that will hopefully make him stop doing what he's doing. Cutting him off from team mates might hurt him so much that he never does something bad again, could turn him even more psycho.

At some point the punishment has to get really harsh though otherwise the player never learns and you really approach banning him from football full stop to protect other players.

One **** to another, I'd like to be able to say that and have it be true... but it's not. The number of people who are willing to look the other way when stepping over the line would help them personally is pretty obscene.

liverpool didn't care what kind of player he was, just how good he was, Barca likely won't care how nasty he is, just what he can do for them.

Typical Barton, he's a thuggish **** and he can appreciate someone following in his footsteps :p

Well, he says that he hopes he should at least be able to see his teammates... at least meaning he'd prefer something more lenient than that. What else could he think should be more lenient, other than the banning from football part of the punishment..?

He's not allowed to train with the team or be in stadiums for games. Chiellini specifically mentions being close to team mates for games and being alienated. I think that is a tad harsh, it's quite possible they added that in so that on appeal they could remove that but not the ban. He may train with team mates what, 15-20 hours a week on average, a lot more than that in preseason which is when he won't be allowed to train with them, yet a game is only a few hours with his team mates. So in terms of cutting him off from the team a training ban is far far larger than a match ban.

Chiellini only talks about alienation and being close to team mates, not about being on the pitch and says nothing about the length of the ban at all.

I read it as he sees no problem with the 4 months but stopping him training with his team might be over the top.

I tend to agree IF it was a first/second offence, but what will actually stop him repeat offending, he's missed a couple dozen games via long bans in recent history and nothing changed. Ultimately his day to day life didn't change, he went to training when he would have, hung out with the team every day, I can't remember if he was banned from stadiums during the bans in England. It's harsh, but not necessarily unwarranted. They've got to find some way to get him to actually change.
