Butts Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Uruguay are the one's who've suffered the most with this, and they're only going to compound it by making stupid statements and frivolous appeals. They miss their best player for the rest of the WC and whatever qualifying games they have to play next. Uruguay have deserved to be punished because of the reasons you put after. If they do appeal they should have the international ban extended tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnterUsernameHere Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Was initially pissed off that the ban applies to club football but it's hard to argue against the point that it's the only way to fairly punish Suárez. Frustrating but can't defend him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The thing annoying me about this fiasco is the Liverpool fans piping up with "Liverpool FC are being punished because Suarez is under contract with us".Ehh, no. Liverpool haven't been punished at all. Your player has. And that's his fault. And yours for signing him. I can't stick this victim attitude the Liverpool fans have produced. That's right. I believe EVERY Liverpool fan has expressed their outrage at Suarez' ban, and EVERY Liverpool fan has claimed that once again the world is against them and they have been badly treated.

But nice job on jumping the gun. You said "Liverpool fans" which implies you meant all fans. I used my head and didn't see any implication of the word "some" anywhere in your post. I would also question your argument that "Liverpool haven't been punished at all" because its completely wrong. Liverpool have been punished because our fans can't go to watch a genius footballer play for their team. The club can't sell him for his real value as he has a tarnished reputation, and they aren't likely to win as many games without him as they would with him. This is all because of Luis himself though, and it is entirely his fault that FIFA have been forced into a punishment of this severity, but in amongst the fallout of it all it is absolutely clear that all parties involved have been punished and will suffer the consequences of Luis' punishment.

Just-Wool Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No reason to feel sympathy for the club either, it's a multi million pound organisation that will now have to make a tough decision regarding the actions of their star player. It isn't as if they won't have a plan on how to deal with this. They'll have a plan of who to replace Suarez with (working on an assumption he may have wanted to leave anyway) if needed and also have a plan in place for if he stays.

jep Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Tourette's and penalties Lol vendetta? Blame the idiot who got himself banned instead of making excuses Plenty of Liverpool fans blaming Suarez completely for this, and rightly so. He has let the club down badly, and the talk of unfair punishment is nonsense. FIFA want to hammer home the message to Luis that if he doesn't clean his act up he could lose the right to play the game he loves, and its clear this ban is a taste of what could happen next time he does it. There simply wasn't any way that FIFA could punish Luis sufficently without causing any colateral damage to Liverpool because if they only issued an international ban he would still be free to play football every day. They were correct to take away the opportunity to do what he loves doing (not biting, playing football!) and hopefully it will be enough to get his head sorted. FIFA also have to take into account the safety of fellow professionals too - they have a duty of care to all players and a serial offender like Suarez probably needs to be removed from the game for a while as punishment. If they allowed Luis to carry on playing and he bit another professional then I am sure they could be seen to have neglected that duty of care because of his history.

pearcey_90 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Think Liverpools problem wouldn't be to replace Suarez of similar ilk i.e world class, but to replace the sheer amount of goals he scores and the space he opens up for other players.
