FOUR MONTHS ? should have been four years

FIFA bottled it.

Was expecting at least 6 months ban

Bet he can't believe his luck

Uruguay are through to the quarters but have lost Suarez, he must feel great shame for this
if he also feels ashamed for the bite, well that is all to the good
so maybe an apology is appropriate, once he has calmed down, I hope he gives one later


He is a great player, we would miss him if he is not out on football pitch
but it is now D day for him personally, I feel

just my opinion

oh well...I want to see him play for Liverpool again
when he not biting people, I like him very much as player

leaving Pool pretty pronto

He is facing it..you do not see how bad it will be him
if URUGUAY DO NOT WIN WORLD CUP....he will always feel he contributed to it
He already has all the fame and money anyone would ever want..he would rather play in the WC and then face a long ban

Suarez is not getting away with anything believe me....
he will never bite again

just my opinion

In reply to bigmo, the absence of premeditation does not make what Suarez done right nor should it mean he should escape punishment. That he should miss the rest of the world cup was inevitable and fair. The length of the punishment is not even what I am arguing about. His punishment is feeling guilty about letting down his country. Its a very severe punishment but I would not argue it was the right one.

I don't believe he had any self control over his actions for the split second he committed the offence. In that sense it was not premediatated where he had longer to think about something and use his self control. His self control was absent.

He was not in his right mind at the time. For those few seconds. I am not saying he is insane but for a few seconds he had no control over his mind and so it was an illness.

I think the nature of football at both club and international level means he will have little sympathy outside of Uruguay and Liverppol. But he never killed anyone. No one was even hurt.

I can understand the reaction of the Italian player and the Italian team during the match but afterwards and with a chance to think about things I would have had a lot of respect for the Italian player bitten if he had tried to stick up for Suarez in some way.
Suarez is not a bad person. Infact I wish more players were like him off the field.

Think I am allowed to show empathy with one of the few modern day players who lives up to the tag of being great and someone who is wonderful off the pitch.

Case now closed. Others will disagree and that's fine.

paddletoe - thanks for your reply.

I'm a clinical psychologist and to me it's clear he was a bit peckish - he just needs treatment, sort of a hunger management course.
Oh, and he's a disgrace to mankind.

a great player and I mean great (a different league to Rooney etc).

Probably the player of the tournament so far, so a real pity he's got a ban
but.... FFS you have GOT to learn from your previous mistakes OR be prepared to face the punishment.

How the hell is he player of the tournament? He missed their first game, scored two against some no-hopers and then should've been sent off against Italy. Maradona '86, he wasn't.

He has been given a heroes welcome back in Uruguay. Not condoning what he did but the reaction in Uruguay seems one of it being a nothing incident and something which happens in Uruguayan football.
Shame he will miss out on the biggest match he will ever likely play while he is at his peak.

Pure comedy gold from Suarez in his defence:

"After the impact ... I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent. At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth."
