Of course the first month and a half covers the Summer break ... but still. Also nine match ban which I presume are internationals. All subject to appeal!!
This means Liverpool are "stuck" with Suarez. They should be pleased the player wants to leave but keeps scaring off possible suitors!
Personally, I think they have bottled it. He should be banned for the season, pity though that is as he is great to watch when he actually plays.
I think its a decent decision, and they made it very promptly. Well done FIFA (violently chokes on those words)
He obviously needs some sort of help - easily the best player I've seen for/against QPR in the last 5 years (probably since the 90s in fact)
I'm not sure what's more shocking here...the length of the ban or the fact FIFA have actually made a decisive move! If only they'd be so quick to get shot of Sepp Blatter and clear up the Qatar/bribery mess!
So he is banned from all football until 26th October - which means he misses QPR v Liverpool. Also, I presume this also means he cannot take part in Liverpool's pre-season - he is banned from all football activity.
He's got away with it, again! 4 months paid holiday. If one of us was to bite another person on the street, we'd be in jail for 6 months!
Yes, anything is possible with Blatter and his cronies. I see Suarez also got fined 100,000 Swiss Francs. Why Swiss Francs??? Dollars, Euros or Pounds yes but Swiss Bloody Francs??? I wonder who is from Switzerland??? Delighted they took decisive action against Suarez but 4 months is not enough. It should have been one whole season.
