Obviously he should miss the next round, assuming it was a bite.

Does it matter? It's football. He's a football player. He committed the crime while playing football. Why does it matter if it wasn't in the domestic league?

Only mourn for what would've been a pretty great match with Colombia.
But yeah the x number of games should cover the international fixtures.

i mean there are pedantic legalistic reasons why FIFA themselves may be overstepping by banning him from all football.
sure.
but if FIFA had just sent him home from the world cup i am certain the FA would have banned him for longer than 10 games for general "bringing into disrepute" type reasons.
tbh he's lucky FIFA banned him for as long as they did and there should now be now pressure for the FA to step in

heh a little LBI, but I dunno, I try to take a reasonable position and it turns out there's only sides, so I guess I'm with Diego Lugano and the Uruguayan FA

popture where did someone say it was no different to an elbow? I was genuinely interested as to what offences are subject to video evidence and which aren't. Ban is about what I expected although obv. I'd rather it was just a large Uruguay ban and not LFC. But hardly surprising.
― pandemic, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:37 (nine years ago) link
The FA are probably relieved. Banning someone who'd just knocked them out of the WC maybe a little tricky idk
IK when a red card is missed on the pitch it's pretty much always at least a 2-3 game suspension. if you seriously think he should miss "the next round" for a red card offence (his repeatedly doing the same weird thing notwithstanding) then lol.
― caek, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:38 (nine years ago) link
@IK I understand, but being contrarian for the sake of it, or standing with the Uru FA doesn't necesarily make it a 'reasonable position' :)

Ismael, you're not really worried about LFC are you? They'll be fine.

How long was the ban for biting Ivanovic?
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:41 (nine years ago) link
The fine and nine matches missed for Uruguay aren't the surprise. The four-month blanket ban from all football activities, including training, pre-season, and league matches for Liverpool, is unexpected, and would keep him out of action until October 25th, which would mean that he also misses nine Premier League matches as well as Liverpool's first League Cup tie and three Champions League group stage games.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:42 (nine years ago) link
Ten games iirc
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:42 (nine years ago) link
Ya, ten. Biting Bakkal earned him a 7 game ban.

So should he just get the same length of ban every time he does it? xps

That's not how punishment of repeat offenders normally goes down.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:47 (nine years ago) link
something like that, if there must be a ban
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:47 (nine years ago) link
If they're taking in to account his previous then it stands to reason it extends to his club as well. It's for his own good honestly, and he should sort himself out if he has the self awareness to do so/uruguay actually allows him too, otherwise he'll just keep biting people and unlike overly aggressive challenges or elbows which continue to be a problem like in any contact sport this isn't really an argument you should be having when discussing football in any way

Is LFC really not allowed to sell Suarez? Runs contrary to everything I know about indentured servitude
― 龜, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:52 (nine years ago) link
I don't have a good answer for how to deal with punishing a repeat biter over offences committed across different teams, leagues, tournaments.
but like a year ban for Suarez himself wouldn't be at all ridiculous at this stage, if the impact could be focused and limited to him.
chance that LFC sue him cf mutu/Chelsea?
― leave the web boys alone (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link
I hope he comfort eats for four months and comes back like Andy Reid in his prime
― not lazy but clowning (Suedey 2), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:54 (nine years ago) link
Why would we sue him? He misses a few games. Big deal.
― pandemic, Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:55 (nine years ago) link
the man obviously needs therapy. without that i bet even if you extracted all his teeth, he'd still be going after opponents with a straw
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link
LFC could decide not to pay him for four months, as he has damaged his employer. He's not even allowed to train with LFC.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 26 June 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link

btw- on a pure offence level, don't think ban is harsh- but do think elbows or raking your studs down someone's leg/balls whatever (the ones that are deemed to be not 'part of the physciality of the game' - that may be the one of the most disingenious argument I've read) should get punished/stigmatised equally as harshly- if it is a manifestation of mental illness, as some are suggesting, then punishment for it would suggest discrimination?- communicable disease - fair point obviously but trying to think how many people have even gone on that angle when they were raving about how horrid it is, is that really the bit that people are horrified by it for?

lol at comparing biting to flailing elbows or wild challenges, even in the sports that actually permit you to elbow or kick another person you still aren't allowed to bite them
― anonanon, Thursday, 26 June 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
even in sports that actually permit you to elbow or kick another person, you still aren't allowed to elbow or kick another person in contexts unrelated to the sport, so fuck off
