Suarez suspension begin tonight

[Teigen]

Just back in time for United game in february then..

[col06]

Knowing the FA if he had appealed they probably would of banned him for 15 games instead of the 8 though

[Jack the Sipper]

I'm not surprised, or upset, that we're not appealing, even though I think we had grounds to. The sad fact is, partly due to our own incompetence earlier in the process, we were fighting an uphill battle that threatened to engulf us in a controversy that could've have massive repurcussions for LFC. Still a bitter pill to swallow though.

 

I am bemused though as to why they couldn't have held back from announcing this for a bit longer. Not only do we lose Suarez for a big game tonight, but (I think) he comes back in the game against the Scum at Old Trafford. I'd rather he missed that one, personally.

Time to go after some of those cunts in the media now, defamation of character please.

There is an FA Cup 4th round before then, so he should be back for Spurs the week before.

[smicer07]

Shit decision by the club. Can see him leaving in January.

[Sparky]

With regards to the ban, presuming we get past Oldham on friday the fourth round of FA Cup fixtures are scheduled for the 28th January, meaning the next game Suarez would be available for would be Spurs at home, followed by United, Everton and Arsenal.

 

Can't help but think that factored into the decision.

[ngogswilly]

I saw it coming. Said so earlier.

 

Pissed off about it to be honest. I knew we'd bend over rather than fight.

 

But I'm glad we at least made an attempt to help Luis in the end with that statement and allowed him to make that statement he made.

 

But what does it say for us now in the future. It's going to be open season on us now from the FA, they've beaten us into submission granted with a lot of help from our own cock ups.

 

But they really have been basically corrupt in how they've gone about dealing with this and we've just allowed them to win despite their corruption. That will do us no good whatsoever in the future.

What a clueless prick that guy is. Holt on Twitter is about the worst though.

Hopefully, next time we take the BFG to the gun fight instead of the knife.

great decision basically the club have said its a waste of time appealing because it wouldn't be a fair hearing and the fa are corrupt.

Yup. City away would be a tough call either with or without him. Hopefully Gerrard starts tonight and Carroll gets on the end of a couple.

 

What would Utd have wanted the most? For him to play tonight and help us beat City and be unavailable for Utd later is what.

 

A few on here did suggest that the FA were delaying release of the paperwork to increase the chances of him missing the UTD game.

I'm glad he'll be around for that.

Hopefully he can end their title hopes single handedly.

 

I hope the club is now fully aware of what they are up against on and off the pitch.

Absolutely no denying there's an agenda.

 

Wise up Yanks.

[Koptimus Prime]

Fucking joke, whats the point of accepting the ban but still bleeting that were not happy! Fucking appeal as its within our rights. Have moores and parry been back to do legal work for LFC on the side. cant wait to see the shite the daily manc and the other fucking rags will come out with now.

[Frankenhooker]

What the fuck did people expect us to do ? Does anybody really think that appealing would get anywhere ? There was no way this 'judgement' was going to be reversed, even if we appealed to another 'independent panel'.

 

Fuck knows what going to CAS would of resulted in, he would still of been banned for eight games though. We've been royally fucked over the whole thing, partly our own fault, but once that 'verdict' was made he was always going to serve a ban.

 

I actually think the timing of the ban is pretty good, Suarez could potentially only sit out four league games.

 

The whole situation is shite, and I feel deeply sorry for Suarez, but I think we've begrudgingly made the correct call. In Suarez's statement he seems extremely appreciative of the support he's received, I can't see him walking over this.

[KevieG]

Appallingly handled by the club from start to finish. Feel very sorry for Luis. Been hung out to dry, by the clubs inept performance as much as the FA's corruption.

[Reacher]

After all that posturing. Can't put into words how disappointed with the incompetence of the club and the legal team.

[Heinze]

Spineless cunts. If no big signings are made top 4 will have to wait another year...

[ngogswilly]

Hopefully, next time we take the BFG to the gun fight instead of the knife.

 

Well I've been happy with how things have been going on the pitch, Kenny has been instilling what looks like a top class approach to playing football, for the most part player recruitment has been good, we've got some top class coaches in etc... etc...

 

Things are looking good in that respect.

 

But still we seem to be unprofessional verging on borderline incompetent in some respects off the field. This is a real kick in the balls. And incredibly frustrating knowing what we all know, that the FA's house is built on a foundation of lies.

 

I really hope something is done off the field in terms of making things better organized and more professional in how we deal with everything, not just things of this nature.

 

I also hope we do our utmost to make the FA's lives a fucking misery if its justified from here on in. But I don't hold out much hope for that. The name of the game seems to be bow down and hold your tongue and we have naively gone on for years thinking that everythings fair and right in the game. Its fucking bullshit and some people need some serious educating.

 

But most of all I hope we do our best to help Luis through all this. Many people say he'll leave, I honestly don't know if he will. Its too early to know, but I wouldn't blame him if he did. We've shown him loyalty but this whole issue goes beyond more than that. We can offer him loyalty but we can't take back the cock ups we've made or make his life any easier now.

 

I know some people will say the 100,000 odd grand a week will help, but no matter how much I make I wouldn't live happily be unjustly labelled a racist.

[Acid]

The ban will end, and probably a big reason for why they want it to start tonight, is because the next two games after the ban will be our game against Utd and old Trafford, and the game against the bitters at Anfield.

[xerxes]

The all consuming anti-racist firestorm around the result of the Norris/Dobbs verdict today would have made tonight pretty uncomfortable for Luis, and for the Club on Appeal.

 

Time to move on- with lessons learned.

[gumps]

While disappointed by this decision, I can see the rationale behind it.

 

We're basically saying, in the strongest way possible, that we will accept the ban but dispute the process and the verdict. The club don't accept that Luis Suarez is racist no matter what the mong press say. That's all we could really do.

 

I just hope that the club become a right royal pain in the ass to the FA by highlighting every dodgy red card and instance of clubs failing to control their players.

 

Anyway, all this will be overshadowed when the Terry case hits court and subsequent FA ban following whatever the verdict.

[torahboy]

After the statement the club released and the issues it raises it is clear that there is a sense of injustice within the club. So there should be as the FA, regardless of what they have said to the contrary, have set Luis Suarez up as a racist.

 

What makes it more galling is the fact that the only truly racist word used in this whole carve up came from the purple lips of Evra's manager; "He called the lad a nigger". A lying, whore born, gutter bred, money grubbing, sack of Govan shit is the real racist in this matter. I detest this cowardly bastard more than anyone else I can think - and I am thinking Thatcher, Reagan, Blair, Bush, Cameron and Micky Thomas.

I think its simply a must to at least ensure we arn't continually shafted. But I don't hold out much hope of us doing that.

Haha...FA Ban...Terry...

 

I've seen a few people on here say that. I think a lot of people on this site are going to be very very surprised when whatever the outcome of the criminal charges. He continues playing without so much as a batted eyelid.
