Liverpool's Luis Suarez suspended

Liverpool has decided not to appeal the decision of the Football Association by which football player Luis Suarez will miss one game and pay a fine for showing his finger to football fans in a game this month. The football club accepted the charge of failing to make sure their players behaved properly.

Suárez admitted the charge against him when the photographic proof was showed. Liverpool will surely start an appeal against the eight‑match ban once the commission reveals the results of their investigation. The FA is working on a detailed report, and once Liverpool is informed of the exact case against their player they have two weeks to present the appeal.

Suárez has been in England almost a year and has never served a suspension in this country. At Fulham he was actually distressed by parts of the fans reproving him for cheating. Coach Dalglish has never tried to defend his gesture. Since Suárez will be absent against Newcastle it is more likely that Andy Carroll will start.

Carroll started the last game against Blackburn Rovers but was unable to score in spite of two or three good opportunities. Dalglish has made no secret of the fact that he finds questions about Carroll's low scoring rate and restricted appearances annoying.
