The Suarez Bite

[Marko121]

Really hope he stays but can't see it unfortunately

[JoeyJones65]

We have bent over and allowed the corrupt FA to shaft us again. We as a club are spineless. Is it any wonder the world loves to shit on us whenever they like....we are so soft, weak and feeble.

[Ronnie Whelan]

There was never much point in any appeal. We never stood a chance of winning it. As magic rat says the whole country was baying for blood, not just the mancs and chelski, but all the other mongs from small time clubs. There is the other matter of Luis being a Uruguayan and not an England international. I would love if our lads pulled out of a few England squads in protest.

 

I watched the game in a pub in Amsterdam, while on a stag. The Dutch thought it was hilarious, as did the Irish stag party across from us. Nearly every English fella in there bar any Reds were calling for him to be kicked out of English football.

[Red Banjo]

Woo said it perfectly -

 

No Appeal. No backbone. No surprise.

[Tony Moanero]

Exceptionally naive. So you think if we'd just won the title, no one would give a shit that Suarez had been banned for 10 games?

 

Where did I say that? Suarez has been banned for 10 games because the FA are cunts, not as a result of any affiliation with Manchester United.

[Pureblood]

I think this is to do with selling him. We could get away with arguing his value is retained if he only misses 6 games for his new club, but any more than that and it would start to affect his value.

[Herp McDerp]

Think I might just do a Zig.

[Kevin D]

Club is ran by fucking cowards, fucking fuming.

 

That's no longer open for discussion. The club have publicly told us they think this is unfair, only to not contest the ban in the only arena that matters. That is a textbook, open and shut, definition of cowardice.

I could have sworn you wrote

 

If we were up there competing for and winning league titles then no one would give a fuck.

 

Like I said, very naive.

[JD74]

In my opinion this is not anyone accepting the ban as much as it is FSG refusing to fund a legal defence for a player they have already decided to sell.

[Tony Moanero]

In reply to...

 

 

We are talking about 3 open supporters of Manchester United being in the top jobs at the same fucking time.

[Moo]

I give up. Just like our shitbag of a club does every time, and it's shitbag players.

Fucking bunch of cowards.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Suarez chose not to appeal. No indication yet that FSG told him to one thing or another.

[s(k)aturation]

It's either a lack of balls.

Or selling.

I now think the latter.

Which also happens to conveniently facilitate the former.

Sad.

All round.

 

I'm not buying the "it was up to Suarez to appeal" stance.

To say you wouldn't be influencing your best player, heavily, in a situation like this is totally implausible to me.

[ZonkoVille77]

As expected.

Really is no point trying to argue your case against a clearly biased bunch of dinosaurs and expecting a hopeful result.

More hope of getting Stevie Wonder to give you driving lessons.

 

Hopefully clubs will start to put pressure on the FA to sort out their rules and regulations on ban lengths for certain offences so that there can no longer be any grey areas. If something good is to come from this, let's hope that's it.

[Tony Moanero]

In my opinion this is not anyone accepting the ban as much as it is FSG refusing to fund a legal defence for a player they have already decided to sell.

 

It could be that they feel the club has little or no chance of holding on to the player when teams that can offer Champions League football come calling this summer.

[Lario]

For fuck sake!

 

Show some fucking bottle ye fucking cunts. Even if we lost the appeal, at least it shows we're willing to stand up for ourselves.

 

When did we turn soft?

[amli]

Disappointingly inevitable.

[Guest San Don]

I think this is to do with selling him. We could get away with arguing his value is retained if he only misses 6 games for his new club, but any more than that and it would start to affect his value.

 

I think this has legs. With 4 games served this season, its 'only' 6 games into next season so, any buying club wont miss him for too long.

 

But, Im not going to be calling the club on this. I wouldnt be surprised if the player has said he wants to move on so dont bother appealling.

[Mathewbet1]

2 of the games will be carling cup so he will only miss 4 premiership?

[Anubis]

They may as well charge Rodgers and Reina for their remarks yesterday and make the humiliation complete.

 

And Sir John Smith's spirit howls in anguish at what we have become.

[Red Banjo]

Its 1 cup game

[Lario]

I'm assuming the club got a copy of the report? Strange that nothing's been leaked as to the reasons if they have.

"We're a very modest club. We don't talk. We don't boast."

 

Thesedays, every reason to be modest.

We talk when we shouldn't and don't when we should.

And we definitely have nothing to boast about.

 

Sir John's wonderful sentiment is twisted beyond recognition, isn't it?

[Guest San Don]

Yes, they got it by 6pm last night.
