Eight Match Ban For Suarez

Patrice Evra is the winner in this one, but an eight match ban is really
too much for a non-evident accusation.

Big blow for Liverpool. The Reds' best performing player so far, Luis Suarez, will be banned for as much as eight matches after being judged guilty (serious?) for his racism allegations against Patrice Evra last month.

This will further dent Liverpool's chances of getting that currently unlikely Champions League spot. The good news? Liverpool will have 2 weeks time to appeal for that heavy penalty and by that time, the transfer window is open.

Get a temporary replacement fast, and the blow won't be that serious for Kenny Dalglish. Good luck.
