9 International Match ban
4 Months football ban

So he's pretty much let off for July and the season doesn't get going until the end of Aug so just a couple of months footy which is about 8 Matches.

Thing is, he will only miss two months of league football which isn't enough for me. Should be at least half the season.

Sounds about right to me too. Harsher than his previous ban without going overboard.

FIFA doing something right? Shocking.

I think he got off very lightly.

Should've been a year, at least, espesh with previous. :rolleyes:
We are in an unprecedented situation and whilst i'm no lover of FIFA, they have had to act pretty quickly and decisively and I think they've done just that personally.

Liverpool fans whining about there being no precedent for this... damn right there is no precedent... the guy has been uniquely done for BITING and its his 3rd strike! Of course a unique ban was going to come his way.

PEOPLE, you are forgetting that he will be banned for pre-season so he won't be match fit by the 26th October so he might not start games till late November.

The 4 month ban is from ALL football activity. Not allowed to train or anything, and banned from all stadiums worldwide.

I think they are struggling to work what's going on...

I don't get how it's only 9 matches yet it's 4 months?

And can LFC appeal?

Regardless, it weakens Liverpool's stance either looking towards having Suarez remain at the club for what will be a huge season for them or that it does compromise their position at the negotiating table with Barcelona and Madrid.
