Should Liverpool Be So Bullish Over the Suarez Affair?

As expected Luis Suarez and his team intend to appeal the players eight match ban, however doing so could lead to further complications for player and club. Liverpool have defended Suarez to the hilt as befits any servant of Anfield but pursuing this agenda further has a high probability of sullying the clubs name.

As yours truly is a Liverpool fan, I was disappointed but not surprised to see the book thrown at Suarez. There was always a hint that the escalating race row demanded an example being made and unfortunately for the Uruguayan he has caught the brunt of the firing line. Before you all jump out your seats and objurgate me for sacrificing my morals in blind support of my player, let me clarify the situation.

My main gripe is the lack of transparency shown by the F.A in elucidating the public on the decision process. Suarez admission that he used the word `Negrito` is not automatically conducive to admitting racial abuse. Many have said the cultural differences should not matter as Suarez has to obey the laws of the land. Which is valid until you consider the inexorable proliferation of foreigners. Foreigners populate most of the top flight, so surely the F.A if only out of common sense should factor in the language barrier?

The F.A will probably enlighten Suarez and his legal team on why they handed out a severe ban, but it their duty to tell us all on why the decision was made and the evidence that was utilized. The race row has seen everyone comment and whilst organizations such as Kick it out have expressed their satisfaction at the Suarez decision (which is what you would expect) others have been left bemused.

Which leads us on the appeal. Dalglish has lead the staunch defence of Suarez but there comes a point when he has to step back and accept the situation. From a football point of view a Suarez appeal could see his ban extended, and seeing as it is already eight games this could prove terminal to Liverpool champion’s league ambitions. Last nights draw against Wigan showed Liverpool are currently lacking a killer spark even with El Pistolero. His enforced absence will make this a tricky winter for the Reds.
