Suarez has a hearing on the 8th August, they surely won't reduce the ban.

It was too harsh in the first place. Prepostorous, Orwellian dictatorship.

No it wasn't, it was pretty light considering this is the THIRD time he's done this, next time (and there WILL be a next time) he should be banned for at the least half of a season. He was even luckier this time around because most of the ban has been served through holidays

So, if you committed an offence at your place of work, and they told you you could not engage in ANY work-related activities for 4 months except doing the job in your leisure in your spare time, you'd accept that as just?

That your work was actually telling you how to live your life for 4 months? I can accept a ban from playing but ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FOOTBALL RELATED INCLUDING PHOTOSHOOTS?!

How utterly dare they!

F*ck off! Usual FIFA corruption, nothing more.

PS Kurt, this was a FIFA ban, the Barca paranoia is Uefa. FIFA couldn't give a sh*t about Barca. Tbh neither could Uefa.

If this was the 3rd time I'd committed the offence, I really wouldn't have a leg to stand on and thats my biggest issue here.

I agree that some, but very few, tackles have intent and/or are dangerous. But you look at some horrific injuries in football, most of them are because the tackle was a split second late, which can not be helped in a game of such speed.

Biting people is completely alien, it's not a split second decision to go and do that. To do it 3 times? A 4 month ban is ridiculous, even moreso when half of that ban is when no football is even played. A tackle is at least an attempt to get to the ball. A bite on a player completely away from play really is nothing like a tackle at all.

An offender should be punished, he was. Repeat offenders need to be made a massive example out of. If FIFA don't ban him for life when he does this again, it just proves because of his name he can get away with anything.
