Luis Suárez

[Shackanory]

Mr Suarez issued an apology for his actions and Liverpool stated that they had
fined Mr Suarez an undisclosed sum, which was reportedly donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group.

****house thing to say that. Reportedly? As if saying the club could have lied about donating it to the HFSG.

[dww]

In the end the bit that confirms the exceptional circumstances is titled:

The wider interests of football in applying consistent punishments for dismissal offences

You couldn't make it up.

So if Lineker is saying it's not a question of the Suarez punishment, but that all other punishments are not enforced sufficiently, some lucky ****er is going to make a fortune from submitting a plan for the 'new Premier League 5-a-side' format...

Point 22:

we did not take into consideration any previous Disciplinary Records of Mr Suarez and considered the offence in isolation

Wait, what? I thought that was one of the main reasons for the extended ban?

[red g]

I do wonder if the club got swept up in all the bull**** hype. Why did he not say, like Defoe and Jol did, It was a playful nibble that never set out to cause harm.

I know this is Liverpool fc and Suarez and we are hated but obviosuly we have been majorly victimised for who we are and who he is.

I think the Onus should have been placed on Ivanovic to show us the Bite marks, Show his near decapitated bloody arm and show us the Cannnibal Suarez is.

He was obviosuly a dick for giving the FA the opportunity but never have i seen such a drama over a ****ing nibble!!

“I have to report that on approx 65mins in this match Branislav Ivanovic made an allegation to me that Luis Suarez had just bitten him. I did not see the incident as it
happened off the ball and I was looking elsewhere. Having had a look at the DVD of the match I can confirm and it is clear that Luis Suarez did deliberately bite his opponent Branislav Ivanovic. If I had seen this incident at the time I would have classed this as violent conduct by Luis Suarez and sent him from the field of play. I can also confirm that none of the other match officials had seen this incident at the time. I would like the FA to have a look at this incident of violent conduct."

Suarez had JUST been tackled two seconds before he bit him. Friend was stood ten feet away. How he can not have seen it is beyond me.

Not sure why I bothered reading it. What a crock of ****e

[Shaggy]

Some ridiculous bits about how it was "a massive story in the media" and "top trending topic on Twitter"

[Assassin]

It's a complete sham

[Fredo]

Those bits as quoted by Dave above; farcical. Bunch of absolute ****s.

48. Mr Suarez stated that he had spoken to Mr Ivanovic to apologise and Mr
Ivanovic said that he had suffered no injury. We did not have any evidence to
support this claim either

Um, er, yeah. Yeah you do unless you are choosing to ignore it.

[Eric Swindler]

Their reasoning is nonsensical. Still it's a good insight into how idiots think.

[ChesterDave]

54. Whilst we could understand and sympathised with The FA’s submission that
Mr Suarez not being dismissed after the incident had an impact on the game,
we believed that this outcome could not be classed as a contributor towards the
circumstances of this incident being truly exceptional.


So the cunting *******s wanted him banned for longer because he stayed on the pitch to score?

[Shaggy]

Paras 50-54 essentially says they sought a longer ban because Suarez equalised.

[ChesterDave]

57. We disagreed with Mr Suarez that this factor is not applicable for us to consider
in this case. We agreed that the incidents of biting an opponent in football are
very rare at the moment and, because of this situation, we need to ensure that it
will remain so. We have the responsibility for the whole game of football in
England, down to the youth football at grassroots level. We believe it is our
duty to discourage any players at any level from acting in such a deplorable
manner or attempting to copy what they had seen on the television


So standard suspensions are not enough for kicks, or elbows or headbutts and from now on will all be given 10 game bans?
