I also have sympathy for Ghana after his cheating at the World Cup.

I feel bad for them to, so this is redressing the balance for all his other misdemeanours is it, brilliant and how does this help those wronged clubs?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
10 matches is just plain ridiculous.
If he had punched the player, or gone in with two feet and almost broken his leg, he would have got 3 matches, but biting is over three times worse ? They havent a clue what they are doing (as usual).

I don't think you can compare it to going in with two feet on a player because usually its accidental and they're not trying to hurt the player, whereas what Suarez did was not an accident. Di Canio had an 11 game ban, Keane 9, Barton 12, Thatcher 8. So its in line with those bans. The problem they have is that they are incosistent, sometimes players get away with no ban at all and then sometimes a big ban. Its something the FA need to sort out soon.

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?
Ok let me reword it and make it simple for you - Bite anyone whilst in the realms of a working environment and it is still a sackable offense and you can still be charged for GBH. So yes actually he did get off very lightly.
I repeat and reaffirm, He got off very lightly.

you do understand than Liverpool are his employers and not the fa don't you, his employers have decided on the disciplinary action they feel appropriate, all the fa have done is show how inconsistent they are by banning some one for ten games when in the past they've allowed some one to escape unpunished for committing the same offence, so no he didn't get of lightly at all.

Yes he did. Just agree to disagree because I do not at all agree that he did not get off lightly.
I can repeat until I am blue in the face that had this been ordinary Joe public, they would have been sacked and arrested and charged for GHB and then had a nice criminal record to boot.
Last time I checked, it is a criminal offense to assault, cause harm, strike another person, I am pretty much sure 'biting someone' fits these categories.
Also, I am fully aware of his employment arrangements. It matters not who his employers are. The FA is the Governing body of every Football Club in the Country, it is completely irrelevant that the FA are not his employers, they lay the laws of the game down and every club, no matter how big or small they are, has a duty to comply with said laws and if a player breaches those laws of the game regarding serious conduct, in which case this most definately is, then it is the duty of the FA to hand out sanctions to any player who does not comply.
It's absolutely obvious that Liverpool FC are not going to sack/punish their so called star player. So guess what? That's down to the governing body. That would be the FA, his 10 match ban was however, in this case decided by an independent regulatory commission, not the FA, the FA only felt that a standard 3 match ban was an insufficient punishment.

if you feel that strongly make a complaint to the police, professional international players have been jailed for assaults on the pitch before and it matters entirely who his employers are when your claiming he bit another member of staff. and yet they also decided no punishment at all was sufficient punishment for exactly the same offence by Defoe, the appeal if there is one will be heard by the fa not an independent panel, it'll be interesting to see how that goes, I think they will appeal and they have a good chance of getting it reduced.
