Luis Suárez

[Paddy]

Something will be done. Fifa have to realise how this is unfair towards Liverpool.

Any positives here? Silver linings? Crumbs of comfort?

I'm struggling to see any at all , this has royally screwed us over

He'll miss 9 league games and will still win the golden boot on the way to our 19th title, Lambo and Studge having scored an avalanche of goals while he was banned. We'll sell him next summer for £80m to Madrid and shortly afterwards he'll be banned for life.

We can't appeal. Only Suarez and Uruguay.

We don't need a lawyer. We need a lobbyist to rally the other big UEFA clubs.

This sets a huge precedent and no sensible big club is going to be happy about the prospect of their employees and assets being banned from working for them for something they do playing for their country.

Big test for the owners. Do they fight this (in the courts if necessary) or do they **** out like they did after the Evra thing.

Surely that will have been considered as they will have known 4 months extends into next season. What a bunch of utter utter cunts.

Nice try

He has been overplayed for years in fairness. At least he'll have a rest

That's about as good as I can come up with

[Kenneth]

9 international games? I'd be delighted with that to be honest

The 4 month ban might be a problem though.

If Carlsberg did forums....

Support from one of the two powerhouses could come with a clause though...

[Paddy]

Ridiculous really. I know they have to punish the *player*, but seriously they have found a roundabout way to **** Liverpool too. It should strictly be kept to a Uruguay related punishment.

None. We're all set for our most exciting season ever and now this. There's always something. We are cursed.

[IJM]

I can see Uraguary lodging an appeal just so they have him available until their appeal is heard (i.e. for their match on Saturday).

Problem with this is two fold.
1. It will put off Suarez's suspension for another week meaning he'll end up missing ten EPL matches, not nine as it is now.
2. It opens the door for FIFA to extend the ban yet further.

And we have no control over this.

[G]

Could we sue FIFA for compensation after they prevented us from using our player through no fault of our own. If we threaten it that ban will disappear. I hope.

Suarez stays, we play well, he feels guilty as **** when he returns, fires us to glory at the end of the season, signs for life, never puts his teeth on another mans arm again, Liverpool go's from strength to strength.

We all laugh about this then.

Ban all our players from international duty. If we're going to be punished for what they do outside of our control then we don't let 'em out of our control. Simples.

**** FIFA, **** Suarez.
