I want them to get rid, but that has just become a lot harder.


Do you people really think football is still an honourable gents game?


It's a nasty corrupt money fuelled entertainment industry. Why the hell would YOU be embarrassed? Like they care about you the little individual.


And you haven't remotely answered my issue with this by saying this is a third offence. It was not his third offence in a Liverpool shirt. His club paid for that offence, and he could still represent his country. Is it so hard to see why that is a bit shit on his club?


I have never claimed he is anything other than a mentalist. I just want the team I support to have the best chance they can next season, and that means he's available to play or be sold. We can sell, but only for a cut price now.

Being a football fan is weird. We do know it's many of the things you say


But there are small pockets left of "the right thing"


Wenger offering sheffield utd a replay when kanu and over mars combined to score is the first example that popped into my head


Fowler telling a ref it wasn't a penalty

Both a loooooooooong time ago in football terms. Can you imagine a striker these days actually telling a ref it wasn't a penalty? Most of them are going to ground trying to win a penalty.


I'd love to see stuff like that, but can't imagine it at top level these days.

I know Suarez and the biting thing is "out there" and inexcusable, but what has basically bugged me the last couple of days is comments like "cheating scum" because when it comes to actual cheating, he's no worse than a ton of other players in the PL and all over the world.


Once again, the worst thing he has ever done for me is the hand ball in the last WC. Blatant cheat, and a pretty clever / cynical thing to do.


The biting is just bizarre, but at the end of the day, it didn't cost Italy anything the other night, they just lost.

I think FIFA have got it right. None of this is about Liverpool, or Uraguay per se. It's about the conduct of one man, Suarez, and the punishment has to be directed at him. If Liverpool are the club unlucky enough to have him on their books, then tough. Suarez is a liability when he behaves like that. FIFA are right to make everyone connected with him, realise the cost of that liability. Perhaps if he can't get employment because of his actions, it might just make the thug understand he isn't above the law. If he had done that on a street corner after a night out, he'd be up on an ABH charge and common assualt.

Next due up - Sepp Blatter himself. He's put himself up for relection again - corrupt, deluded and vain, most of him reminds me of Zimbabwe's Mugabe.

Di Canio's 'catch'

Last word I'll say on this.


I think this ban will be an inconvenience to Suarez, he'll lose his chance to be the big star at this WC. In the long run his clever PR Team will probably make it work for him somehow.


For me Liverpool FC are the biggest losers as a result of it, and yes I feel they have been harshly punished for something completely out of their control after having kept him grounded for the season.


But I'll never convince most of you so fuck it.


Agree about Blatter MrBen.

Liverpool have gambled on Suarez and lost


They knew he did this before more than once and stuck by him


They knew he angled to get away last season and stuck by him


He was a big racist and they stuck by him


And with him they have won nothing. Liverpool fc hoped they would benefit from his skills. They haven't. Now they can choose to stick by him or let some other suckers deal with him


But as a club they are bigger than any single player and should be planning accordingly

He is a persistent cheat and people know that, hence the jubilation that there's some sort of comeuppance.

Plenty of others in the game I'm sure people would feel equally pleased about, no one's claiming he's unique.


Irony of course is that biting isn't actually cheating (though his feigned reaction was) , just plain wrong.

Wow. The holier than thou attitude on here is brilliant.


And as for "He's a big racist" should have added "fat" for extra impact there.


Suarez is a nob and has been punished. I'll wait for the next 4-5 pages of outrage when another player does something controversial. Neymar's elbow last night? No comment.

    • I’m not sure that would have been any consolation had anyone have been on the pavement at the time it tipped. 
    • At least it can't/shouldn't have been going very fast, if it was turning a corner?
    • It always amazes me how people choose to live near a pub which is already there, and then make life difficult for the pub because of noise! So it's great that Lulark is checking it out beforehand! Hoopers (R.I.P.) had the same problem. People moved in next to the pub and then complained about noise .... People have different thresholds for noise, so probably the best thing would be to go to the house  at different times of the week/day/evening and see whether the noise level is acceptable to you inside (if possible) and outside the  house (in the garden, if it has one?)? You could also ask the pub what events (if any) they hold during the week, and check out the size of their garden? Noise from the garden will obviously be more in the Summer and when the weather is fine. You could also ask them if they have had any complaints about noise from nearby residents? I imagine they would be happy to tell you, because they won't want anyone else moving in who is likely to cause them grief 😅 Also, they may have a time after which people have to be inside the pub rather than in the garden, so you could ask them about that. Gowlett Road is a nice area to live (and the pub is also a nice friendly pub!) . Good luck!
    • I'm guessing it must have been early. I passed about 7:30 and there was no signs of police or ambulance only the recovery truck.  My guess is that the bin lorry was approaching from the JAGS direction, heading down the hill, turned right, overcooked it and tipped.  Hopefully no one was seriously injured though I imagine those in the lorry must been hurt.
