1. Gary Lineker

Suarez has finally apologised for biting saying it will never happen again. I hear that Barca insisted on apology if transfer is to proceed.

Liverpool had no prior notice of Luis Suarez's apology, a move that looks to be paving the way for Barca transfer http://t.co/3PI4bGIcDP

The only surprise about Suarez's apology is it wasn't written in Catalan. His advisers have missed a trick there.

Way maybe open now for FIFA appeal panel to make part of Suarez 4-month ban suspended for up to two years, conditional on good behaviour.

Real Suarez apology: Barca have instructed me to say sorry, so I will, kind of, but I don't mean it, really.

Suarez appears have been taught some posh big words by his PR people, if his latest statement is to be believed.Still no admission of guilt.

Call me an old romantic but I thought that was a very sincere and touching apology by Luis Suarez's lawyers. #WorldCup2014

@Kris Hetherington: forget about race and religion, but the board of the FAI needs a balance of male and female reps. As brutally organised and administered As the men’s game is the women’s is worse and participation levels of young girls has massive scope for improvement. The board needs a strong female voice that champions girls soccer.

Let’s not be getting ahead of ourselves here, first things first is to get the board of the FAI into the early 19th centurary and then in due course up to date
