This may have a significant bearing,

Fair play rules. 3. Respect towards opponents


Maximum score = 7
Minimum score = 1

Players should respect the Laws of the Game and abide by the spirit of Fair Play. The Fair Play delegate’s assessment will not double count items already covered in the ‘Red and Yellow cards’ category, but the seriousness of the offences punished by cards may be considered. This category will also include offences overlooked by the referee.

Any single major incident between players may have a significant bearing on the final score.

Blameless behaviour without any particularly positive attitude or gestures is likely to receive a score of 6 rather than 7.

It won't be taken into account.

I think Liverpool fans are trying to distract themselves from the number 1 issue which is the fact that they are now an irrelevance to the modern football world.It's only now that the red shyte fans are realising that dreaming about former glories never to return will be their lot for the rest of their existence.So Liverpool fan's lets not allow this farce to overshadow the fact that United are now on 20 league titles and counting.:)

Agreed he should get the 10 game ban but I thought it was an accumulation of episodes not for just the one incident.

The report the FA has put out is really bizarre. Are they saying because the incident became twitter trend he got games added on. So if any of our players do something stupid on the pitch makes twitter news he will receive a bigger game ban. Why didn't the FA say in the report it was for repeated offence and other matters. Their logic doesn't bode well for the future. I am really confused. The FA are joke a simple matter of condemnation, a sentence, most of us could have written it for them.

Ferguson made Suarez bite Ivanovic

**** Ferguson the ****ing piss-stained, hard-shoulder-splattering senile old [Poor language removed]. **** him, don't anyone ****ing dare come on here acknowledging whatever total ****ing ****e he's spouting as if he's somehow offering us support.
His work is nearly done. He's wanted Suarez out of this league since day 1 and don't anyone ****ing underestimate how far the corrupt [Poor language removed]'s influence is felt. He's laughing his ****ing socks off at this. He's got the FA and the media doing his bidding and he's close now, really ****ing close, to getting what he's wanted all along.

Replay

Do you genuinely, honestly think Ferguson is trying to go after the seventh placed team in the Premiership? You know if he had that much influence, he might have been better served trying to get Aguero banned after his two footer the other week, when City still could technically win the league.

This Manc Conspiracy **** is getting embarrassing.

Cant see him lasting lng on there
 
By Kenny Dalglish

The football governing body's so-called 'independent regulatory commission' is anything but, writes Kenny Dalglish

What Luis Suarez did when he bit Branislav Ivanovic was unacceptable. No one is disputing that.

As far as I am aware, no one at Liverpool Football Club is running away from their responsibilities over that.

The club has said that he was wrong. Luis, himself, has admitted that he was wrong, and they were both right and wise to accept the punishment yesterday.

The issue is clearly in the length of the player’s ban and the fact that the FA’s disciplinary system is a horrible mess.

Let’s start with the fact that the FA said before they had appointed the so-called ‘independent’ regulatory commission that Suarez deserved more than the normal three-game ban.

Well, by saying that, they prejudiced the findings of the commission before it has even begun.

They appointed the people to sit on it and they have told them they are there to give him more than three games.

So those three people know they have to give the player more than three games just to justify their existence.

How ‘independent’ does that make the three-man commission?

I wish the FA would just stop playing with words. Because this panel wasn’t truly independent and to say it was is blatantly misleading.

The FA chooses who sits on it to begin with. Does that make it ‘independent’?

And who sits on it? An ex-player, an FA council member and a lawyer already known to the FA.

So there’s an FA council member on an ‘independent’ FA commission. That’s convenient.

And there’s an ex-player, who would probably like to do more work for the FA. That’s convenient, too.

Are they paid, by the way? Are they paid by the FA? Do they do it for free? I don’t know the answer to those questions but

I’d like to know.

The point is that the structure of an FA disciplinary procedure like this is inherently unfair.

If you commit a crime in this country, you get the right for your case to be heard by a jury that has no affiliation or responsibility to the people prosecuting you.

That’s not how the FA works it. In fact, their disciplinary system has now become so confused and riddled with anomalies that it is farcical.

They hide behind excuses about the referee saw it or didn’t see it, punished it or didn’t punish it.

So Jermain Defoe bites Javier Mascherano on the arm and gets a yellow card. Nothing more.

Suarez bites Ivanovic and gets 10 games. Why? Because the referee didn’t see it.

He still spoke to him about something and looked like he was warning him but he didn’t see it.

For the benefit of football in this country, there has got to be greater clarification of the rules and more balance in the way offenders are judged.

The most important thing is not the length of the sentence but how they reach it and that information needs to be made public at the time the punishment is announced. That would have alleviated much of the unnecessary discussion about the ban handed down to Suarez.

The FA has been in need of widespread reform for a long time. The need is getting more and more pressing.
