    Suarez handed a 9 match international ban and 4 month ban from all football. He isn't allowed in a football stadium for that time and in any Uruguay match until the ban is over.

    Not long enough - same as last season as will miss about 10 games - should have got a season long ban.

    1st game back against newcastle - wonder if the sponsors can get a letter written from a fake law firm appealing against his suspension

    He gets abuse anyway. From the diving, play acting, the second biting incident and the racism. He is not exactly a player any other fans but his own could love. Yet how pool continue to stand by him why he further disgraces them is crazy.


    The ban means he isn't actually allowed to do any training with the first team for pool either. FIFA has surprised me! I thought it would be a lot less. Still not enough in my opinion. He can appeal but FIFA have said regardless of him appealing, he is definietly banned for the Columbia match. The rest of the 9match international ban covers Copa America next year and another match I can't rememeber who against though.

    Best of it is they're blaming the British press for everything that's happened!

    Annoying how much he is still going to get paid by Liverpool for not even playing! How is that punishment?
