It just gets better... The playing ban i agree with, Suarez deserves punishment but he now cannot be included in any team photos or advertising campaigns for the new kit
Advertising campaigns, team photo's, stadium ban, training and/or coaching ban. I still think FIFA have been too harsh on this side of things
This is getting ridiculous. Why do they keep punishing the club when the whole thing was completely out of its control.
I'd have given him a 15-16 game international ban tbh. Really didnt expect the 4 month global ban
To be fair, isn't it out of Uruguay's control as well?
Why not? When he plays for them he is their responsibility. **** knows, maybe Rodgers gives Suarez special massages to make him more relaxed, and Urugay's staff weren't informed.
I wouldn't blink an eye if they gave him a year ban, but targeting Liverpool's advertising seems completely off the bat.

They're not punishing the club. They're punishing Suarez, the club is getting punished by virtue of employing a cannibal.
I'd have more sympathy for them if they hadn't indulged him in his past indiscretions. And of course:

As stupid as the whole t-shirt incident was, they were backing him for a racism case that was purely word against word, so there was doubt he ever actually was racist
Not like he bit someone and they had the t-shirts out
I suggested on the WC thread that he should be given a lengthy international ban but i suppose then he is still playing regularly so i can see why the global ban has been introduced
But all the added on bans such as the team photo, training ETC... Liverpool will have to pay upwards of 4 million to Suarez in wages when all he can do is sit at home and cant even train
Didn't exactly take the first biting ban on the chin, either.
You keep saying Liverpool have to pay him 4 million in wages. That is their choice to pay him that but he has a duty of responsibility to the club being an employee still even if he did do something despicable playing at the World Cup. If any of you bit someone in the street and was prosecuted against it your employee would more than likely give you the heave ho.
If Liverpool fans feel that Liverpool FC have been hard done by again then you need to remove your heads out your posteriors. Fifa is punishing Suarez by cutting off what he loves to do. If Liverpool want to pay him then that's up to them but another employee with any sense would fine him all the time he is missing from representing the club. It Was Suarez's actions that have brought this on. They should be looking to punish him also.
Playing ban I agree with to an extent.
Stadium ban, training ban, advertisement ban and team photo ban, however is petty and shouldn't be included
It is cutting off his lifeblood for what he has done for something he loves doing. It is a punishment for him so how is that petty? If Liverpool FC had any sense they would punish him also. It is the only way he will learn the club cant also pamper to him even when he brings disgrace to them as an employee.

Not playing for four months does that - everything else, especially the team photo is so ridiculous from FIFA
Majority of the foreign media and even the player he bit thinks this is all excessive. But yes, he does deserve the ban from playing, that i agree with fully
