So, assuming he does indeed get a lengthy ban (I'm sure FIFA and FA will bottle it and make it 10-15 games or something). Does he continue to pull in his wages?
It should be ban, min. 6 months with zero pay and tag on a huge fine.
 
Tbh life ban.

if he did it in the street he'd get locked up, he's a role model and representative for his country, make an example out of him.

Speaking of refs, did anyone else think the ref for england vs uruguay looked like ty burrell from modern family?

I think after all the bans he had, when he had a new contract at Liverpool they would add a no pay while banned clause that they would say would encourage him to not do anything stupid again. Stupid if they didn't try to do something like that. Outside of something like that they usually only get away with a "fair" fine. I think the general situation is any club can pretty much fine a player two weeks wages, but anything larger and you get the PFA involved who may deem a fine unfair or whatever. In this case if he wasn't allowed to play for say 3 months I don't think they'd find it unfair to not be paid for that time.
 
I think a years ban without pay is just considering how many times he's done it! What next, he's biting someone in the neck cos he's moving on up the body?

No surprises here.

Very amusing all round.

Life ban. Ha ha ha. AS IF.

So as a question at what stage do you ban a player for life... after the 3rd incident, 5th, 58th? At which point does he become a financial liability. As in, lets say the next player he bites, he takes his ear off like Tyson. You think Fifa won't be sued, liverpool, Suarez himself. Fifa for allowing someone who repeatedly offended to stay in the game?

There IS a point where it's entirely reasonable to ban someone who is a consistent danger to others. It's not at all unreasonable to suggest that a lifetime ban is a realistic possibility... at what stage and after how many incidents is a very fair question, but to pretend that someone who continually attacks other players doesn't run the risk of at some time passing the point where Fifa can allow him to continue is simply ignorant.

tariq panja ‏@tariqpanja 16mA strange aspect of post game #URUPosted Image and #ITAPosted Image press conferences was Brit journos only ones to ask about Suarez. Not a single Italian raised it
 
It's clearly a witch-hunt by the British media. He did nothing wrong. ;)

It's not as though it's the headline of pretty much every major sports news website in the world...

Most of of them reporting the outrage in England.

What would we do without our villains? He's the new Jack the Ripper / Harry the Hatchet / Dirty Den rolled into one. Even better than that, he's foreign, speaks pidgeon english AND "looks like an 'orse". Fabulous.

That is significantly LESS bad than Suarez's worst tackle, and again, repeated nature, which people choose to ignore when they don't fundamentally understand the argument. Also, shocking as it may seem to you, 2014 is not 1998. Players are paid more, people are more litigious. Suarez has attacked multiple players, when he finally hurts someone significantly, there will be YEARS of evidence which could be used against him by the victim basically saying they could have been protected if after one of the many times Suarez has done something nasty he had been banned from the sport.

How many times did Shearer kick people like that? Did he learn from it, did it happen again? You can't be held responsible for an unpredictable situation but you can be held responsible for something that is entirely predictable. He HAS injured players before, he has attempted to injure players with terrible tackles multiple other times. It's pretty likely he'll hurt someone badly eventually, and it will be entirely predictable.

If the guy wasn't stretching for the ball and so went to ground Suarez was planning on going straight through his leg, it's pretty much the worst tackle I've ever seen with an insanely lucky "victim"... suarez then pretends to be injured.

He'll do that again eventually, someone will get their leg broken and he'll get sued.

There's universal outrage. Most people find it rather disturbing and aren't trying to justify what they've just witnessed (or deflect from it).

I understand your point to some extent, you can fly in and snap someone's leg in half deliberately, but there's a clear line of intent when it comes to a bite such as this, and what makes it worse is his past form for it too. I can't even think of another instance of a player biting another player, yet Suarez has done it 3 times...

You can have no complaints if FIFA come down hard on him.

There's "universal outrage" because outrage sells. And I'm not really trying to deflect from it. Suarez is an idiot. A serial idiot. Like a lot of footballers. Just a bit different.

We're wallowing in outrage here though, we can't get enough of it. Fair enough like. But I'm not having any of it actually being fair or logical. It's a witch hunt plain as day.

It's English machismo - it's ok to butt, punch, kick someone, to REALLY hurt them. But not ok to bite, spit at or pull someone's hair.

I'm really not sure the rest of the World sees things in quite the same idiosyncratic way.
