Wow, less then the FA gave him.

Pretty tame, but more then I was expecting given FIFA's usual antics

 

[marc^o^]

That was a sure thing.

 

[enanogrande]

OK, so 9 World Cup Final matches (not qualifiers) and 4 Month ban (i.e. no club games)? Am I getting that right?

 

[The Cowboy]

Its also a full pitch ban from the sounds of it, he isn't even allowed to sit at the bench to watch.

 

[tabs2002]

only 9 matches? That wont stop him from doing something stupid again

 

[| Praxis |]

Its also a full pitch ban from the sounds of it, he isn't even allowed to sit at the bench to watch.

Indeed.

I am now picturing Suarez playing soccer wearing a mask, Mr. NXT style, then running away from the security guards when he is inevitably unmasked

 

[kamorra]

Way too lenient.

 

[RangerX]

Its just been announced as a nine match ban and four month general football ban. That seems fair to me but I feel sorry for liverpool fans. The supported him throughout the last incident and this is how he pays them back. Whatever happens to him I hope he gets some help.

fifa just opened a can of worms

can FIFA ban him for Club matches? do they even have that power?

 

[EscoBlades]

Weak FIFA. But better than nothing i suppose.

can FIFA ban him for Club matches? do they even have that power?

They are the International governing body. I would imagine they do.

 

[BronsonLee]

can FIFA ban him for Club matches? do they even have that power?

FIFA can do whatever the hell they want.

 

[pulga]

Too damn lenient.

 

[The Cowboy]

Scratch my pitch ban, its a full stadium ban - he isn't allowed into any stadium in which Uruguay are playing in during the world cup.

 

[Myggen]

But he'll still be able to play the next game if they appeal, right? If we don't get a verdict on the appeal first, that is.

 

[Codeblue]

fifa just opened a can of worms

Biting people for no reason = ban is a can of worms?

 

[Jimrpg]

9 matches.

So what happens if he bites again? 8 matches?

 

[LNBL]

Only 9 matches? He got lucky there, let's see how long he will last after the ban.

 

[ChapaNDJ]

So good to see him suspended, he had it coming!!

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Let's hear some reactions from Uruguay

Lugano "Are we even sure there was a ban? That's just an old ban, likely related to the Ivanovic case, who by the way was diving and only showing old scars, anyone who's not completely stupid can see that"

Mujica "What ban? I am aware of no ban"

 

[SamVimes]

Biting people for no reason = ban is a can of worms?

CAN OF WORMS

i don't care if it happened plenty of times before and i was obviously aware of it but this is definitely fifa opening a can of worms

 

[Jackpot]

Craig Ferguson did a bit on the biting incident for his show.

[+Aliken+]

9 matches is a joke considering he had a 10 match ban the last time...

 

[Ostinatto]

9 matches for National Team matches only right?

this press conference is an invention of the italian and english media

 

[LNBL]

Appeal does not have a suspensive effect, meaning an Uruguay appeal would not allow Suarez to play

 

[Jarnet87]

If they sell Suarez to Barca the only time they'd have to worry about him biting someone is in The Clasico.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

So assuming Liverpool don't sell him, he can only start playing premier league football again at the end of october?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

9 matches for National Team matches only right?

Yes, but a 4 month ban from now on any football activity (which would include club football).

 

[TimmmV]

Ridiculous that he will miss more matches for Liverpool than for Uruguay

 

[enanogrande]

Ok they just clarified, he's also banned from playing for Liverpool. In short he can't play for anyone till November, PLUS Nine "World Cup matches".

 

[MMaRsu]

too lenient... fuck

 

[JonnyBrad]

9 matches for National Team matches only right?

4 months from all football.

Fifa (and Suarez) have utterly screwed Liverpool

 

[kamorra]

That talking women is such a nice person.

 

[Nemesis121]

Suarez = entertainment

People who hate him bite

You having fun fishing?

 

[thehypocrite]

Should have been a fine only with required treatment by a sports psychologist.

 

[RedBaron17]

Reporters can't seem to understand the appeal process.

HE CAN'T PLAY!!!! Even if Uruguay appeals HE CANNOT PLAY!

 

[BronsonLee]

Dear People Comparing it to The Previous Bans:

He got more games in the others, yes, but those were club game suspensions IIRC, not international ones, like this. He can't play in 9 WORLD CUP GAMES. Think about it.

He's also getting a 4 month ban from even playing games or training with Liverpool, so it's harsher than you think.

 

[bryanee]

So he misses 9 international matches and four months for all activity so he'll miss a shitload of club matches as well.

 

[Deadman]

Not long enough.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Appeal does not have a suspensive effect, meaning an Uruguay appeal would not allow Suarez to play

CAS can extend bans IIRC

If they sell Suarez to Barca the only time they'd have to worry about him biting someone is in The Clasico.

I am not even sure Liverpool can sell him. He is banned from administrative actions, which I am guessing could mean transfers.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

So he misses 9 international matches and four months for all activity so he'll miss a shitload of club matches as well.

Based on fixtures he will miss nine liverpool premier league matches.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Bans that affect Liverpool

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

So is this 9 World Cup finals matches plus whatever he's gonna miss in the first couple months of the Premier League?

 

[Dany]

9 national matches, does that mean he'll be playing in 2018?

 

[confuziz]

Please don't quote thehypocrite guys. It's useless.

 

[Arjen]

Damn, Liverpool am cry.

 

[BronsonLee]

Should have been a fine only with required treatment by a sports psychologist.

BLATTER IS THAT YOU

Please don't quote thehypocrite guys. It's useless.

don't tell me what to do! *bite*
