Its funny how we see things when someone we like or admire does something as opposed to someone we don't like or know.

Well DUH, and don't act like you don't do the EXACT SAME THING.

What does that even mean? Were you in a furor when Defoe bit Macherano a few years back? No, you didn't even know about it.

Plain and simple hypocrisy. Borderline racism. The FA should be ashamed.

Suarez actions were ridiculous. 10 games is shameful

True bill.

Pants on head retarded. I hope he appeals.

It will be up to the club, and really come down to how the British media are handling it this week.

Honestly its such an absurd suspension that ican actually see criticism for the FA emerging... but I won't hold my breath

Perspective from a scouser never known to be light

He got 8 games for the first time he bit someone (a sentence I never thought i'd type) so the FA had their hands tied a bit, it had to go up from there for a second offence surely? I agree with your annoyance that racism bans were less than this, but the fact that he's had both says to me he deserves whatevers coming to him.

Hahaha, can any of you be complaining about the ten game ban, it's perfectly justified.

Defoe was booked, anyone that knows FA policy realises they cannot retrospectively take action if the referee has already dealt with it

Stop talking shit. The FA was within their power to do something about the Defoe incident and didn't. It's a blatant witch hunt, and the punishment is being dealt to the man and not the crime here.

You're the one 'talking shit' as usual when it comes to issues on Suarez. Show me the precedent for the FA charging people if already dealt with by the referee.

You're not even a scouser and you've bought into their everyone's against us mindset. Ten games is perfectly reasonable for someone that has biting previous at their former club plus a serious misdemeanour already whilst in the country. There is no 'witch-hunt' simply one player that has a lot of issues. You telling me what the english Joey Barton did to get a 12 game ban was worse than Suarez?

the 12 game ban was for multiple incidents in the same match. The ref didn't see Defoe's bite, otherwise he'd have caught a red card for it. Instead, he was booked for the challenge. the FA could have instituted an additional ban, but didn't. Suarez is ACCUSED of racist remarks, and confesses to using the word 'negrito', which is a common slang in South America, but the literal translation has racist connotations in English-speaking countries. he was given an 8-match ban for owning up to it. Terry is clearly seen on camera calling Anton Ferdinand a "Black c**t", and is given a 3 match ban. Open your eyes.

That's complete and utter rubbish. Defoe was fouled by Mascherano, and was booked for the aftermath with the ref standing right over the incident. As seen in the video below. Again show me the precedence for the FA undermining our referee's authority.

Suarez WAS racist. There isn't an accused about it, he was punished accordingly. I agree the Terry decision was a disgrace, think it was a 4 game ban but either way that wasn't enough.

Interesting that both Evra and the review board stated that they did not feel that Suarez was a racist.

And back to defoe, if the ref is a representative of the FA, and he flet that a blatant bite on Mascherano was only worth a booking, then why is the same thing from Suarez worth a 10 match ban? Sort yourself out. It's excessive. 5 games would have been more than enough. a 10 game ban is inconsistent and basically says that a bite is worse than calling someone a "black c**t" on live TV.

But they both believed he used racist language in the heat of the moment as he has a problem controlling his actions.


You can't keep changing your argument, it's hard to take you seriously when you just seem to be making up facts to help your arguments. As I said, he had previous where he got a 7 game ban, if he hasn't learnt from that, alongside the ban for racism, there is absolutely no doubt that 10 games is fair.

Can't be bothered to carry on with this either as it will just go round and round in circles, we will agree to disagree.

This is a ridiculous argument from the FA and anyone that falls on it to wind up Liverpool fans shares in their ignorance.

Storts its fair you didn't have time to read either of the FAs reports on Suarez. But don't perpetuate your ignorance on theirs.

The second, and more ridiculous, is the premise that had Suarez simply been given a card at the time he would not have received any more than his red card punishment (second yellow)

Do you really believe the FA would not have acted? I dont. Liverpool fans dont.

Suarez deserved a ban, and a strong one. 10 games is excessive, hypocritical and inconsistent with the FAs actions, ideology rhetoric. To argue that its fair is fine, to back it with the FAs rules shares in their ignorance.

the suspension is given. Liverpool have accepted (which they should have done). time to move on.

like 6-0 moving on

Excellent decision by Rodgers to rest Suarez today

awesome
