I tend to agree with you but let's not forget, Saurez has two weeks to appeal his sentence & no ban will kick in until it has been heard.
Liverpool will wait util the FA has published the report & then they will decide if they want to appeal or not, he is free to play until then.
If they decide not to appeal then the ban will kick straight in, if they do, then he is still free to play util the outcome of it.
If they lose an appeal then the sentence can be adjusted up or down apparently.
All true, and eloquently stated, but nonetheless, so much fun to have a run at Carroll isn't it?

Yes, true again yet he is a very talented player who doesn't need to resort to using such tactics.
told you lads before Liverpool bought him, Ajax were pleased to get shot of him he even bit another player who owned him, he was a liability

He was owned by another player?
Hells teeth, I know Holland is a very liberal country but for Gods sake this needs nipping in the bud, bud.
Not harsh enough. Should be 20 weeks & £400,000 as it's going to be appealed down by 50% anyway. It's not like he can't afford it. Make him give it to the local soup kitchen & do some community hours while he's at it.
Luis Suarez is set to appeal his biting charges from 2007 on the grounds that it is custom in his native South American tribe to commemorate a player or persons good performance through a gentlemanly bite of the arm.
Liverpool fans are up in arms about it too claiming they have been biting and spitting on people for years without any complaints.

In fairness, it's rumoured that when this other player owned him, he did also rip him a new arsehole, too, thus making defecating much easier.
Luis Suarez set to appeal eight-match FA race ban
23:26 GMT, Wednesday, 21 December 2011
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez will appeal against his Football Association punishment for racially abusing Patrice Evra, according to his lawyer.
Alejandro Balbi, who is also Suarez's agent, said his player was "convinced" the punishment would be reversed.
Suarez was handed an eight-game ban and £40,000 fine after he used "insulting words in reference to Manchester United defender Evra's colour".
"It seems to us absolutely out of proportion," Balbi said.
"It's one of the hardest sanctions handed down in English football.
"He [Suarez] is firmly convinced this hard sanction can be reversed."
Speaking at a news conference in Uruguay capital Montevideo, Balbi said that it would be Liverpool's lawyers who made the appeal to the FA.
Suarez, who denied the allegations, has 14 days to launch his appeal against the decision. Should he do so, there is a possibility length of the ban could be increased.
The FA handed the sanctions to Suarez after a six-day hearing found he racially abused Evra in the 1-1 draw at Anfield on 15 October.
The Liverpool players warmed up for Wednesday night's game at Wigan wearing t-shirts in support of Suarez and also released a statement declaring their backing for the 24-year-old.
The Uruguayan Football Association has also offered Suarez and Liverpool whatever backing they need for an appeal, and Suarez has received support from Uruguay captain Diego Lugano.
