Luis Suárez

[Zapater]

As much as Keane deserves calling for the challenge it was not that which ended his career. Haaland himself has said he gave up playing because of the other leg- the one that Keane did not damage

Haland did have some chronic injury problems, but I think it was the malice and lack of remourse people consistently react and bring up that incident.

He's been banned for 34 games without receiving a red card!

It's shocking tbf.

Its another recruitment the owners are goig to have to make, along with all the other necessities they needed to get in order to go for the league. Furious with suarez for affecting the club with his mental inadequacies again

Uruguay will appeal. Suarez will have the ban cut down to a month. He stays, destroys the PL again. Everyone goes mad.

Or they appeal, and FIFA increase the ban.

And that is where all our anger should be aimed. We've been stitched right up here by Suarez, not FIFA.

But that was less clear cut... And not the third time in front of the world at the showpiece tournament.

So? He got a yellow card for it. No fine, not even a 1 match ban. And so ****ing what if it is his third time. People have far more red cards for repeated acts of violent conduct and get less so the point about different rules still stand.

Why should he be punished more as a repeat offender than a repeat offender elbow thrower/headbutter?

He learned all the tricks on the streets in Uruguay, so that no referee can spot it. It's just shame nobody has told him there are cameras in the big leagues.

Unfortunate juxtaposition in the Telegraph online having Luis' ban next to Jimmy Saville interfering with corpses. Puts it in perspective I suppose...

As I say he should definitely be called out for it. He went into that challenge to hurt him and he succeeded. But I'd love the press to report on Suarez sensibly and a genuine fair comparison to some of the things that are tolerated on a pitch so in the interest of that fairness the error should be corrected - not as if it takes away Roy Keans one negative point!

Because he goes round biting people. On purpose. It's not hard...

You do yourself no favours trying to defend him on this.

[G]

They are appealing it. It doesn't suspend the ban while the appeal is ongoing so he's still not playing against Columbia.

[Gibbo]

I see they're deffo appealing

@SkySportsNews: BREAKING: Uruguayan Football Association president Wilmar Valdez has confirmed they will appeal Luis Suarez's four-month ban. More on #SSN

Is it **** fair.



We had Suarez under control, we had a psychologist working with him, BR doing the fatherly act and it was working.



He's out of our control, flaps up, and we're punished for it.



That's what stinks about it.



Fifa are taking the piss. We let our players go to make them money and we're done over for it.

Exactly

But the only chance we have of saving this situation is to move the debate away from Suarez and to the wider issue and implications about what FIFA have done today.

In less than 24 hours of deliberation they have set a precedent that changes the rules of engagement and relationships within the football family.

When the FA banned Suarez after the Evra case they took weeks of deliberation and sought legal advice.

FIFA have just made a far reaching decision that will have a big impact on football moving forward in 24 hours.
