What about Ferguson and his form? The punishment doesn't seem to get heavier each time the FA do him for opening his gob.
"doesn't seem" Liam. "Doesn't seem".

'Would appear'
How do you know they weren't? Are they all relevant?
So they were taken into account when he was charged £45,000 for racially abusing a fellow professional, in the same year Terry got 4 games and Suarez got 8? Course they were.

And if we're talking precedents for him using the media for abusing people, they obviously didn't account for him getting done a few years previously for calling Chris Moyles a "faggot" live on Radio.
That's unfair Mark. He did apologise straight away...and Peter Tatchell said that was ok.
Look, you find someone who has done all the things Suarez has done and show me how he was treated differently to then
I know nothing about the Rooney ban being overturned so I can't talk about it (a lesson for others maybe?)
Suarez's disciplinary history is unique, so is his punishment.

Holes fucking EVERYWHERE.

That's out of their domain. It would be a Police matter, not the FA's.
Arguing about the "length of the ban" demonstrates he and we aren't really sorry at all.
I know nothing about the Rooney ban being overturned so I can't talk about it (a lesson for others maybe?)
And what if that ban was longer, to take it to an extreme, say he got a two year ban. He and we could be 100% sorry about it and regret it, but think the ban does not match the crime. And would rightly challenge it.
Personally I think the ban is a little harsh, but not enough to be making a deal about it, when it's obvious it won't be changed. But your statement above is simply not true.

It's not 2 years though - it's 10 games. You're applying the same logic to two entirely different scenarios.
The committee have said they have accounted for Suarez's past poor discipline but couldn't use the Dutch ban as it was in another country. So the ban length can only have been based on what he's done in England. Ferdinand's tweet was a matter for the FA because he was fined, so why wasn't his lengthy ban for skipping a drugs test considered? He was also fined for the 'faggot' comment and reprimanded by the FA for driving offences.
Nearly all the uk media are in agreement the ban is egregious Ross, why can't you just accept that the punishment, which EVERYONE says is deserved, is ott and not fair.
Same old arguments, same old people on either side of the fence. Its just like the Suarez Racism thing. You are never going to agree so I really dont know why you are bothering.
AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE BECAUSE PETER COLD SAID SO!
The first ban he received was not taken into account in their decision, it couldn't be as it was given out by a different FA..What do the media know?
A few days ago every Liverpool fan was saying how disgraceful and clueless the media were, now you're taking them as an authority on something?
I don't think the ban is totally over the top. I thought 8 games was the right amount, it couldn't be less than that since he'd gotten a 7 game ban the first time around
But Im sure that at least you are aware he received the mandatory 3 match suspension for a red card having kicked an opponent, and that the FA saw fit to appeal that mandatory suspension and have it reduced to two.
Just saying like.

For what its worth, my opinion.
I think Suarez was a prick, he knows the spotlight is always going to be on him after previous issues, he should know better. The ban should have been 7 or 8 games. A ten game ban is definately harsh. I think the FA have made an example of him with this, rightly or wrongly. I dont agree that there is an agenda against Liverpool though.
From talking to people (non reds), I can totally see where this "Always the victim" tag comes from. Everyone thinks this. Because we fucking cry unfairness about everything and everything. Just take the ban, get your head down and get on with it. And dont fuck up again.
Dont give anyone an excuse to call us victims. Simple.

Infact he only received a 5 game ban from the Dutch FA.. the other 2 where given to him by the club..
