Well it doesn't matter anymore over here does it? He will be playing in Spain next season and many people will be happy Liverpool will have sold their talisman. Delighted in fact.

Chiellini has accepted the 'apology':
"It's all forgotten. I hope FIFA will reduce your suspension." https://twitter.com/chiellini/status/483671807380443136 |

He was always going to be playing in Spain next season in my opinion.
![]() , but sadly it is best for Liverpool and the other players that I am not in England because of how the media / other fans will unfairly treat the team" statement.

I think it is fair enough he has sent an apology finally. He does admit it was of the result of a bite and has said sorry to the player. He clearly still needs to sit out his punishment and find a way to stop biting people while on a football pitch. Actually stop biting people at all really it is just odd.
I do think a number of Uruguay management staff and political people who have commented on the action need to say sorry to FIFA and the British media . What ever they think of the ban length is fair enough but clearly they did no lie and certainly not a bunch of SOB. Well at least not in the treatment of the player. I think it is done, he said sorry, needs to seek treatment and get on with it. I don't think their is any further need for a witch hunt on the issue. No question did he mean it etc take him at face value and move on. |

Chiellini has behaved with a good deal more sense than Suarez since the incident. Suarez' appeal repeats some of the principle reasons for the length of the ban - absence of contrition, failure to acknowledge intent (the other main reason is the repetitive character of the offense, i.e., third time) Suarez, in my view, has been appallingly advised and his friends have behaved liked toadies. No one has gained from this mess; it is not as though FIFA is stemming an outbreak of biting on the pitch.

FIFA will probably think that people will congratulate them for dealing with it quickly and hope any other criticisms of them will go away.
Unfortunately, they were short-sighted. It's only taken their complete indifference towards Robben admitting he cheated, in addition to the other incidents in this World Cup, to remind everyone they're completely incompetent and not fit for purpose as an organisation. |

When Gordon Strachan was talking about no morals in football he was including them as well! |

Oh, without a doubt. They (over)reacted to the outcry in swift fashion because they saw an opportunity to assuage public opinion towards them.

Despite certain posters almost blaming him for overreacting to the incident initially Chiellini has come across as a really decent bloke .
Chiellini showed his Italian passion and tried to get to the ref. Not sure how I would react if bitten by a fellow human. |

His reaction could have gone several ways. Ivanovich seemed bewildered and didn't react much at all.

I'm not proud of it but I suspect I'd react with aggression and find myself facing a lengthy ban.
It would be a double blow knowing that whoever bit you did it to get you sent off for your reaction and that it worked. |

So suarez now admits to biting chiellini. About time. I really hope his ban isn't reduced and has a Liverpool fan it kills me say but I genuinely believe this will be good for him. After he's not played for 4 months. It make him realise what he did. He loves football so it will be hard not playing but if it its reduced then he'll think its not a problem which is the wrong message to send.

No he doesn't! He apologises for a collision with Chiellini, during which he got bitten. Not the same thing at all

Nailed on.
And what's more, there'll be some who swallow it. We could probably write the posts now... along the lines of: 'OK Suarez did something wrong but he manned up, accepted the punishment and could have served his time out and then returned to us if it wasn't for the hateful (multiple choice section coming...) Daily Mail/ Sun winding up the Man U / Man C / Chelsea fans. The cheats.' |
