Was the punishment given to Luis Suarez fair?

A player for Corinthians has been given a 6 month ban for pushing a referee out of his way. Kind of makes Suarez's ban look lenient in comparison

I would say at worst it was similar to the Paolo Di Canio push on a referee which resulted in an 11 match ban. The 6 months seems harsh and understandably Corinthians are appealing aginst the verdict.

Generally speaking most countries football authorities take a far more serious view of pushing or hitting a referee than they would if it was another player.

The bans coming to an end. And he can't wait to get his teeth into the the La Lige defenders when he's eligable to play in 10 days time.

Barcelona face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on October 25

In the spirit of Billy Jean King vs Bobby Riggs; Ali versus Frazier; Tyson versus Holyfield; Ben Johnson versus Carl Lewis; Rocky versus Drago; and the Karate Kid versus ... (well, let's face it, EVERYONE hated the karate kid)

Here's what I'd love to see...

One night only ... winner take all ...

Zinedine Zidane headbutting Luis Suarez in the teeth.

Whoever promotes that fight would make millions!
