Barnes: Sacking Suarez would be 'ridiculous'

Former Liverpool winger John Barnes has branded talk of Luis Suarez never playing for the Reds again as “ridiculous” after the Uruguay forward’s bite on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

Suarez apologised first via his Twitter account and then through a statement issued on the club’s website for the incident, which happened before he scored a dramatic equaliser seven minutes into stoppage time to make the final score 2-2 at Anfield.
