I'd maybe feel a little sorrier for him if he wasn't also a proven racist.
Suarez bites | "sorry for falling into him and biting him and that"
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Surely this is "bringing the game into disrepute"?
Anyway, I hope the media do their job for once!
The last big ban solved a lot of issues. He behaved like a very good guy for a year, but now he has become the idiot again. An another lengthy ban is neccesary, but obviously he should also get some help.
Summit's idea for a suspended lifetime ban sounds spot on.
Of course it's relevant. And yes, third time obviously means a harsher punishment.
WTF are you talking about?
3 post?
So... if you got caught raping twice, heck, give him a virgin and let him rape again.
What a twisted sick logic of yours.
Ban or Psychiatric ward. You just can't escape without punishment
I dont think FIFA have the power to ban him domestically as well. I'm torn on this, I'm probably in the category thinking we should sell him, Liverpool have always had other players step up, owen after fowler, torres after owen, suarez after torres, so im not worried about that. It's up to the club, as long as we dont start making excuses for him I'm not bothered what happens either way, I'd actually like to hear the club condemning him publically
Yep. This is what I said in #1065 above.
Gosh, no! That would be inconsiderate of me.
But I also wouldn't let him play football on live fecking television in front of thousands of fans until he gets said treatment.
So you're very spot on. Don't give Suarez a ban, he has a serious problem! Lock him up in a psych ward instead.
True, but this could lead to a complete ban from the sport, i don't recall any incidents where fifa required a Psychological evaluation for a footballer before.
I was actually thinking that this might be a worthwhile response from the club.
The changed man act only came about because Liverpool had a fairly smooth sailing season. The real Suarez comes out when he's frustrated. He's never stopped being an idiot.
Not sure why Uruguay can't be thrown out completely, although Columbia look like they should beat them even with Suarez playing.
He's wired to be a psycho and needs banning for life.

I finally found out why he did it.

And here are the extremes that has posters like me arguing for a bit of perspective.
They definitely have and have banned people from football (on all levels) before. Will they do it is something else.
Colombia are going to batter this Uruguay team, Suarez or not. They are one of the best teams at this tournament.
People calling for him to "get help".
He had "help" at Liverpool over the past season, it was part of the agreement with the PFA/FA if I remember correctly. What he needs is a proper punishment, last time was clearly not enough. Half the games he missed were irrelevant to the team, nothing games. People are treating him as if some "red mist" descends and he loses control, I don't buy that for one minute. He's a habitual cheat who has gone to the extent of biting to try and gain an advantage over his opponent. Throw the book.

Another ban would be the equivalent of giving a repeat rapist another year in prision - without treatment he'll just get back to raping more after release. I am actually pleading for psychological assessment, treatment and only after rehabilitation has been successful would I feel safe for letting Suarez play this sport again. Far from a sick logic. I'm just against simple punishment if it does nothing to protect other players from being bitten in the future.
It would be nice if he got banned domestically, but I really want him to get a lengthy international ban so that he misses this world cup and the next Copa America. Then he'll truly realize that consequences of his actions because playing for Uruguay obviously means a lot to him.

One winner, Jonathan Braeck from Stenungssund in Sweden, bet 80 Swedish krona (£7) that Suárez would bite, and the 23-year-old substitute teacher is now set for a payout of 14,000 krona (£1,225) for his wager.
Braeck said he intends to spend some of his winnings on travelling to a Premier League game in England, but he will not be visiting Liverpool to see the man who helped fund his trip. “It will be a trip to Manchester. I’m going to try to find someone to go with me to Manchester United,” he said. “If I had [Suárez’s] home address I’d send him a thank-you card. It was very nice of him to bite and give me a trip to Manchester.”
You couldn't make this stuff up, Wonderful! Thanks from another happy red!

12 month ban from all football, or 6 month ban and 6 months suspended sentence (with the proviso that he has to wear a muzzle while playing).
I agree a psychological assessment would be a good thing, but he should also be banned from the game for a while at the same time.
I'm not sure the FA gets to sanction a player based on the World Cup. I personally don't like the idea because they would be punished twice in that case.Surely this is "bringing the game into disrepute"?
Anyway, I hope the media do their job for once!
The FA didn't cite the Bakkal incident in their report when he bit Ivanović and they didn't reserve any judgement to extend the sanctions - so I don't think they will get to ban him in English competitions.
Still, I think there's an oddity here where Suárez wouldn't be banned for Uruguay's matches like the Copa América, because it is organised by CONMEBOL. Suárez could only be banned in competitions like the World Cup (qualifying and Finals) and Club World Cup.
Ban should be worldwide, across competitions and competitive games only.
I don't think he'll be banned domestically but, if your're Liverpool or a potentially interested club like Barcelona, would you feel confident he wouldn't do it again in the league? he has proven beyond doubt that he has no self control, a 4th biting incident and they'll throw everything they can at him, it's not just about his image now, it's about his future value as well.
I don't know how much 'close' he is now but rumours were gaining speed by the day till the dog did his trick yesterday.
How would biting benefit him in that particular situation? I couldn't think of a more stupid move.
Of course he's a cheat, as are many others on the pitch. Football unfortunately cultivates that sort of behaviour and rewards cheating. Bring on video evidence.
Looks familiar?
You know what is the most funny thing in these photos? They aren't from yesterday, they are photos from the Confederation Cup last year. It looks that he was preparing to eat Chiellini for a year.
If not now he will eventually get another domestic ban you can be sure of that. I posted earlier the opinion of a behavioural expert who says that this behaviour is pretty untreatable. It's a primitive response that he has when things aren't going his way and normal folk learn as kids not to do it. It's not pre planned and he's not going to stop so it's a question of when not if.
That's the thing. Even with malicious fouls there's advantage gained over opposition - in this case Suarez gets absolutely nothing in his favour, only ensures that his team will be weakened for the following several fixtures.
so its true he is moving to barca?
Great post.
Italy were awful as well. Neither team gave a good account of themselves in the group stages IMO. Funny that Costa Rica were by far the best and most impressive side in this group.

Best part: "Asked about the alleged bite, Suarez told Uruguayan television after the game: "There are things that happen on the pitch and you should not make such a big deal out of them. It was just the two of us inside the area and he bumped into me with his shoulder."
Damn that Chielini he bumped him with the shoulder in the same time Suarez accidentally opened his mouth...

What makes you 'think' FIFA don't have the power to impose worldwide ban? They have full authority and power to impose worldwide ban across competitions on a player, if needed.
Sergio Biscuit won't like this.
This. Nail on the head. Or I should say, teeth on a shoulder.
