Suarez....flawed genius

[Massimo Giovanni]

Well done the FA, sending out the right message.

10 games is fair enough I think, was expecting 7 or 8 at least.

The Liverpool hypocrital victim menatlity has kicked-in I see. Think he is extremely lucky to get just 10 games, bearing in mind his previous 7 match ban in Holland and his 8 match ban for racist language. 14 games should have been absolute minimum (double the 7).

Yes, agreed with that. Not a first offence, and not the first time this season he's been in trouble.

Way too harsh, should have been 6 at most. He's been made a scapegoat.

You must be a secret scouse,he deserves more. All the other bans haven't taught him a lesson.

 

[shrimpstew]

He should get the same as Tyson, 1 year and £3m fine

10 games is way too much,The FA should be dishing out these lengthy bans to those nutters who go over the top or use elbows.

Agreed they only gave Joey Barton 12 for his double assault last season.

If a dog had done that it would be put down. Same should be done to Suarez. Absolute scumbag who doesn't deserve the talent he has.

He got 7 match ban for his last biting incident in Holland and 8 for his racism charge on Evra, so surely it has to be more than those otherwise he won't learn. He hasn't been incident free this season either as multiple times he has sneakily kicked or stamped on opponents.

His 8 game ban was an utter joke considering an over the top tackle if seen will get 3 game ban,These tackles can end a players career in a second whilst the use of an elbow can easily result in terrible injuries.The biting incidents warrant a ban all day long yet the guy has been banned for 25 games for using stupid language and 2 bites whilst the cloggers get away with murder.

Agree that an elbow can be dangerous, just look at what happened to Iain Hume, but you can't defend biting someone. Suarez has constantly cheated and been unprofessional on a number of occasions this season, let alone his career, and has shown no respect for the rules or opponents. He needs a big punishment before he learns.

Also, I can't agree with the "using stupid language" as for me that belittles racism and the whole circus that Liverpool turned it into with the whole making Suarez seem like the victim is unacceptable IMO.

As for people that go over the top in a tackle, I highly doubt any of them mean to actually cause harm and it is just a poor tackle. Only tackle I can remember where actual harm was meant was when Roy Keane pretty much finished Haaland's career with an awful tackle, as for the punishment he got an extra 5 game ban and a £150,000 fine and back then that would have been 2-3 weeks wages.

Same with elbows, most of them you see two players jumping for the ball and there is contact but rarely any deliberate intent. Fellaini is someone that comes to mind as I can't believe how many times he has elbowed someone and gotten away with it.

One rule I would change is that the FA can ban a player, even if the ref made a decision. At the moment, if the ref gave Suarez a yellow card then the FA couldn't do anything.
