Luis Suárez

[brightred]

Wow! Eamon Dunphy, the voice of reason.

[Fivex]

This continuously gets voted one of the fondest sporting moments we've seen:



Aaaah, how cute.

[Fierce]

Why would it effect the CL? That's UEFA, not FIFA. Again, is there any precedent for a player being banned from European games for an on-pitch incident in international football? I can't find one.

Posted this previously. Can't find any evidence of it happening before, but in their rules, it COULD. Spuriously so, but still:

If the infringement is serious, in particular but not limited to doping, unlawfully influencing match results, misconduct against match officials, forgery and falsification or violation of the rules governing age limits the associations, confederations, and other organising sports bodies shall request FIFA to extend the sanctions they have imposed so as to have worldwide effect

If the judicial bodies of FIFA discover that associations, confederations and other sports organisations have not requested a decision to be extended to have worldwide effect, these bodies may themselves pass a decision.

That's that then the FA will be all over that like a fly round a turd.

Some of these comments from the DM are beyond a joke - two are quite well reasoned

Luis Suarez set to face disciplinary action from FIFA following alleged bite on Giorgio Chiellini... But how should he be punished?

Sportsmail 'experts' offer their opinions on what punishment he should face


Jeff Powell

Indefinite suspension from all football world-wide and to serve a minimum of six months.
Ban only to be lifted after mandatory counselling and an independent psychological evaluation that he is mentally fit to return.

Laura Williamson

Luis Suarez needs a 10-match international ban as an absolute minimum but, more importantly, there must be a rehabilitative element to his punishment.

Tuesday night's incident scarred the game, the World Cup and Uruguay, but also Suarez's club, Liverpool, and the Premier League and cannot be allowed to happen again.
Bans and fines clearly have little impact, so something else must be done to get through to this brilliantly talented but ultimately flawed footballer.

Sami Mokbel

It's hard to say how long his ban should be - but it should certainly be a suspension that applies to both international and club football.

A suspension for solely international fixtures wouldn't be suffice. If his ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic was 10 games - then his forthcoming punishment should certainly be double that.

Laurie Whitwell

It is clear Suarez should play no further part in this World Cup or any football for a long time.

Chomping at another person on three separate occasions shows a mental problem that will only be recognised as such by Suarez if the world governing body show their teeth.

A year-long ban wouldn't be too much in my opinion, while a permanent gum shield on his return should be considered. Seriously.

I would also question those who have condoned his behaviour. Manager Oscar Tabarez, captain Diego Lugano, and Gaston Ramirez (who tried to cover up Chiellini's bite marks) should face a grilling.

Matt Lawton

Six months. Until the turn of the year. Not sure he'll ever take responsibility for anything he does but I'd throw the book at him. Needs to be properly punished.

Matt Barlow

What a shame it will be to see Suarez removed from this thrilling tournament; to take the edge from what promises to be a fabulous last 16 tie between Uruguay and Colombia.

But FIFA must deliver a heavy punishment, a ban of 10 international games say. It is akin to assault and he has previous but he has not badly injured anyone. I don't see any reason to ban him from all football. That would not occur with any other type of on-field assault.

Riath Al-Samarrai

It's a difficult one, because the disciplinary precedents for this involve the same man. This man. This strange, gifted man. By using what has been ruled before, it needs to be more than 10 games.

But how many? Is it worse than kicking a fan (Eric Cantona, nine months)? I don't think it is. Is it worse than Joey Barton's rampage against Manchester City in 2012 (12 matches)? I'd say so.

And this is a repeat offender. He clearly needs more effective psychological help than he has so far received. But with it should come a significant action - a six-month ban from competitive football at any level. A Hannibal Lecter mask might also help.

Ian Ladyman

The incident should be judged on its merits. The hysteria that has surrounded it is natural but FIFA should follow their own rules and ban him for three games - no more - for violent conduct.

Rob Draper

What will happen? Three or four match FIFA ban.
It's a first offence - the other two occasions took place under different jurisdictions so are irrelevant.

What should happen? Psychiatric counselling for what I would imagine is a serious condition which seems to manifest itself in stressful situations. And a worldwide 15-match ban to impress on Suarez the seriousness of the situation.

I have to laugh at the English media going absolutely bat**** crazy over this. Two year bans and such like, what utter nonsense. They're just butthurt he ended Ingurland's campaign. If this was any another player, there is NO WAY they'd be making that much noise. No chance.

[Slinky Skills]

Haha, you are nuts Slinky.

It's so OTT is hilarious. I'm sure the rest of the world, and FIFA, aren't getting nearly as carried away by all this as we are. And I think (and hope) the punishment will reflect that.

[RedReet]

What has he been officially charged with? What does he/Uruguay have until 21:00 tonight to do?

Respond to the charge with a confession or denial, I suspect?
