Suarez will be gone in the close season, guaranteed.
Guardiola likes him; Bayern want him; they're German champions, in the Champions League, and in dire need of a decent striker...
Mark my words...

Unfortunately, I begrudgingly agree. 

10 games IMHO will be the straw that broke the camels back for Suarez. It's spite, it's vendetta, it's draconian and it's blatant victimisation - nothing at all to do with justice.

Well I'm not sure what they were expected to do with Keane as he had retired as a player.

I agree that the 8 game for Thatcher wasnt enough and it was wrong for Defoe to get away with it.

The FA have set the line now.

Like the line they set when the banned Luis for 8 matches for racism ?

Then Terry was banned for 4 ?

That line ?

They make it up as they go along to suit personal agendas, the punishments given to Suarez show that to be clear.

I've been reading your argument for 2 days Benny and they dont stack up.
Initially regarding Defoe you have stated that if it's been seen on the pitch by the ref nothing can be done.
You were then informed that wasnt the case with Thatcher - so they can take retrospective action.
The fact that they didnt against Defoe questions how severe they believe the offence to actually be.

Nobody is condoning it, everyone agrees he deserves punsihment. I honestly feel 3 matches should have been enough.
It was a crazy shocking thing to do but he hasnt injured the player, while we dont see things like that on the pitch usually you still have to question the severity of what his actions where.

Also bear in mind the lad has never been sent off in England previously.
He has faced 2 serious charges since being here and been punished in comparison with similar offences heavily.

I dont think that can be disputed do you ?

Unfortunately common sense doesn't prevail when we have a media driven hysterical agenda against johnny foreigner from LFC

as the guardian point out bennys tory hero cameron didnt help either, once he had his say on the matter the F.A  had to come down hard on suarez, if the F.A  would have took no action like they did with defoe cameron would have looked stupid.

benny you did spend all last week trumpeting Thatcher

[Benny The Noon]

If that's what you think I was doing - where as the truth is nowhere near that.

[redno7]

the ban had to be long enough to make sure Suarez didn't play again this season.  this makes sure Van Persie wins the golden boot.  this enabling them to have another man utd wankfest. it's a corrupt association don't ever forget that.

Seriously ?

It's got f*ck all to do with Man Utd or RvP.

[devaney]

It takes a very special kind of t.osser that spends three days advocating that Suarez should be punished and then complains that the sentence was too severe. The media sh.itstorm guaranteed that an example would be made of Luis. Massive shame that some of our own so-called supporters felt it necessary to stick the boot in as well.

[Santa]

Yes Suarez was guilty, he did not deny it so that's that.

Stupidity? No it's actually very cleaver of him. Imagine if I'm the agent of Suarez and my brother has agreed to managed another club next season and i would like to help my brother to get Suarez to play for him. But the player is contracted to his club and the club won't sell, not unless his new club would like to break the bank to sign him. So since I'm obviously very smart, I would urge the player to forced his current club's hand by making it unattatinable for the player to remain at the club and driving down his market value at the same time.

So the biting begins...he full expected the lengthy ban and I would expect him to be in Bayern's shirt in the next season for something around £30m. For all his trouble Suarez can expect a hefty sign-on bonus or a bumper pay rise.

I know that cause that's what I would do. There are no more passion...football is all business nowadays!

Sh.it mate do you actually believe that load of tosh

I envy simple minded people like you, living in a closed world believing in what lay in front for you to see, being fed by what the taboids and media chose to feed to you. The world do need ignorant people such as you, the kind of people who have no idea what's coming when the sh*t hits their face. Ignorance is bliss...yeah sure, believe that a talented person like Luis is just nasty and stupid enough to sink his teeth onto another person's arm when there are at least half a dozen of cameras zooming in on his every move and the media's darling who will love nothing more than getting Luis to help them sell their rubbish.

Professional football today scream money, power, fame, ego and greedy agents constantly looking at ways to line their own pocket. Gone are the days where loyalty rules, playing football is no longer close to be as important as your salary and endorsement monies. This whole biting farce sounds so ridiculous and its clearly engineered and timed in such a way to force the club's hands to offload him. The 10 match ban was more than what they expected as it would mean Luis would carry them over to the new club but no matter, agenda already accomplished. Luis might not want to do another Torres but Pep and Pere certainly have their own plans and a motivated agent can be very persuasive.

I would certainly wish all these are just a load of tosh but stupid and naive I am not

DEVANEY'S RESPONSE - I think you're  actually giving yourself a bit more credit than you deserve. Naive and stupid is exactly what you are if you believe that Suarez's indiscretion was engineered and something that Suarez would have gone along with !! Ffs I despair you'll be suggesting that the aledged bite was engineered by an Asian betting consortium next.

It's called people believing there to be a middle ground

Believing that the act deserved punishment but nowhere near getting 10 games - maximum 5-6 possibly with a few suspended. That way it's a strong punishment without it going too far without justification

So that's why I believe that Suarez did deserve to be punished but that 10 games was way over the top

[LFC1990]

Wow what a  crazy place this is. You have liverpool fans thinking the ban was the correct descion and others saying Suarez purposely done it to get a transfer when if anything it would stop him moving to the likes of Bayern or Barcelona.

I mentioned this in the past. We have relied on Luis Suarez in the last two seasons very heavily. The man is a fantastic player and the most skillful we have ever had here.

Its about time the fans and Team showed Luis some support. If this biting hadnt happend and luid turned round at the end of the season saying he wanted to Leave people would ask him to show some loyalty. How about we show some loyalty towards Luis and stand by him in his time of need.

Also to the people who want to sell him say we get 50 million for him. There isnt a single person who would be interested in coming here that would even be half as good as Luis.

Its good to see some support from Pepe and Rodgers for Luis or more rage at the length of the ban

[Santa]

Defoe only got a yellow because the ref fecked up with the decision on the field and then the FA didn't adjust it afterwards . If the ref had booked Suarez for the incident then they would have left it at that.

The FA intervened on the Thatcher incident because they deemed it serious enough - for me Thatcher should have been banned for at least 6 months.

So Benny Hill please explain to me...why did the FA deemed Thatcher's act to be serious enough to warrant a overide of the ref's decision but yet only gave him a 8 games ban and here you are... (1) you (foolishly) think if Suarez is booked they would have leave it as that (2) the fact that he has been given >8 games ban means the FA deemed it to be a more serious act than sending someone to hospital (3) in the same breath, then why was it that the very same act by Defoe was not deemed serious enough for the FA to overide the ref's yellow card? Fact is, this is a witch hunt and Luis, plus the fact that he is a LFC player did gave the FA a reason to throw the kitchen sink at him although the punishment was obviously OTT and inconsistent.

Me and many have read your ***** all over this place...fact is no one here is condoning Suarez's act, non of us are proud of this. Yet as a club and as a 40 years LFC supporter I believe we should stand behind our players and let the club do the lecturing and punishing behind the door. The fact that you have been hell bend on hoping that Suarez should get a long ban and that he should be kicked out of the club shows you are no true supporter of this club. Yet at the same time you will scream and moan when we do not have quality on the field. Hell did you used to support Aston Villa or Blackburn Rovers and as soon as the club fell on a bad patch, you burn the jersey and jump to the next club to "support"? You sure fit the type...
