Was the punishment given to Luis Suarez fair?

Luis appeal again his banning until October is due within the next hour..

The court of arbitration have decided that the ban till October stands.

However he can now train, play in friendlies and do promotional work.

Statement by CAS.

"The CAS Panel found that the sanctions imposed on the player were generally proportionate to the offence committed. It has however considered that the stadium ban and the ban from 'any football-related activity' were excessive given that such measures are not appropriate to sanction the offence committed by the player and would still have an impact on his activity after the end of the suspension."

Yes I think the result of the appeal is about right the only reservations I have is should Suarez be allowed to play in friendlies, but other than that I have no problems.

I think CAS should backed the ban that was originally given

To be honest the ban is'nt that long as most of it is taking place in pre-season anyway!

If he done that in my day,a size 10 boot would say he isn't going to do it again,not unless he picked his teeth up,a fucking animal,and I played when a tackle was a tackle,but we didn't resort to fucking biting each other.

would have been interested to see what would have happened had Suarez bitten somebody like say Roy Keane, big Paddy Crerand, Jack Charlton or of the like - i think Mr Suarez would have been eating through a straw for life!

four months is nothing for biting someone a third time considering Ferdinand got longer for missing a drug test - but then again corrupt fifa gave suarez the ban not the useless F.A

It works out to 20 matches - I wouldn't describe that as nothing.
