The 4 months Include Stadium Bans and he will not be allowed to Train with Liverpool or whatever club he will be at either (So ive just seen on Twitter)
Thats to be confirmed - a question was asked at the FIFA conference and the spokesman couldnt answer if it included training wont be surprised if it does though
If your or I bit someone in a ground, it would be at least a 1 year banning order ... fecking not fair
And the rest! Minimum three year ban and probably a criminal record. Possibly even a custodial depending on the nature of what you did! That said, in the footballing world of leniency, the ban is about right I think.
Yes it starts today Yes he can appeal if he appeals the ban wont be suspended whilst the appeal is heard spokeswoman didnt know when an appeal would be heard either
would be mad to appeal. 4 months seems lenient in view of 2 previous offences & the fact that it is at the World Cup Finals. A year long ban would have not been unreasonable in my opinion & some kind of psychiatric assessment at the end to ensure he ain't going to do it again. A brilliant player, but one with some serious issues.
