Italy v Uruguay (Group D) Tuesday 24th June 2014

It's not that lenient. He'll miss 9 Premier League matches as well as the rest of this World Cup, and probably the entire Copa America and some qualifiers for the next World Cup. And FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League matches.
Aside from the international matches, how is it different from the second time he did it? I don't think that repeat offences should always incur heavier and heavier penalties, but instinctively I do in this case.

"aside from the additional punishment, how is it any different"?
 
Oh :p

Ok, fair point. Still instinctively seems lenient, I suppose because domestically he'll only miss the same as he did last time, but the international ban could keep him out for a while.

The floor is open to suggestions.
Domestically he'll miss way more than last time.

Last time he missed 9 matches.

This time he'll miss 9 Premier League matches in addition to any cup games Liverpool are involved in.

Also, the "administrative activities" restriction could mean he can't sign a new contract/transfer.

Returning for... Newcastle :facepalm:
 
Initially I was in the 'ban him, burn him then string him up' camp as my knee jerk reaction. I still think this ban he's received is a bit lenient though. I think a year long ban and some sort of counselling would've been more appropriate
 
I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he did it:hmm:

I'd say it's more likely he's completely fucked a move that was well on. He's a lot less desirable now - apart from missing a chunk of next season he was starting to look like he'd got his act together, but now he looks like a proper headcase (again) who's likely to get a bigger ban every season.
