The punishment stinks.
It happened at a FIFA tournament, therefore should reflect that, and that only, and not penalise us, in either a footballing sense or financial one. It does both.
He'll miss out on half the group games in the CL, and it could be the difference between us getting out of the group stage and finishing fourth, not even qualifying for the UEFA Cup. Again, more financial penalising.
I don't suppose FIFA or the Uruguay FA will be covering his wages whilst he can't play or even train. Then having missed a pre-season, he's going to miss more games whilst getting up to fitness, or if he doesn't miss them, will be less potent.
The club needs to appeal this in some way and get the part that affects us changed. A much longer ban from International football of all kinds would be more appropriate.
I'm amazed again at the 'indignation' that the media have come out with again. Whilst he bit an opponent for the third time, it's not a potential career ending assault like a two footed tackle is, yet I guess because of the 'shock value' of the act, it seems to be deemed far worse than jumping in at your opponent two footed. There's no doubt Suarez needs psychological help. He has a feral, childish reactive side, which he definitely needs help with, as it's hard to understand why he did that when he did, considering the state of the match and the way the play was at the actual time of doing it. There was simply no reason for any kind of 'flare up' at that precise moment, and so late in the game.
It's ridiculous the way the media is linking us to the incident. And the Uruguayan reaction is of no help to Suarez at all. Maybe it's an indicator of a wider mindset and explains some of the environmental development reasons for him having this as part of his make up in the first place.
