Arguing about the "length of the ban" demonstrates he and we aren't really sorry at all.
And for me it lets Suarez off the hook. It's campaigning for him. All this fucking nonsense about Defoe and others just panders to Suarez and doesn't hold him to account for his sections and the subsequent repercussions we'll experience as a result of him not being there.
Imagine we showed as much contempt towards him for what he's done as we will in adopting this fawning victim bullshit. That way it might expose to him how fcuking badly he has let us down, he might learn something that way, and we might learn something shout ourselves as a club. That we have some standards, that we hold people accountable for their actions, and that certain things aren't accepted.
We won't though. We'll blame someone else for this, we'll act like victims, we'll excuse him, welcome him back with open arms. And the result will be that he lets us down again in the future, and more importantly that we missed a chance to set some standards. What sort of message does this send to any youngster or potential signing? That we'll excuse your shit. That's all.
