Totally agree, I was incensed when I saw that, rest of the season ban without pay.
Wouldn't want him anywhere near our club based on that performance, I'd rather lose the game.

I think it will be good for the game, as players will now try and stay on their feet and have at least an attempt on goal.
Just like they used to back in the 70's.

And shouldn't have needed this new rule to do it, either. I'm assuming football has a "bringing the game into disrepute" rule somewhere that could be used to throw the book at blatant cheating like that irrespective of whether there's any specific rules that cover the situation.

But would the player sent off have his card retrospectively rescinded?

Silly old bat
You'd like to think so, but, even when reviewed, Jamie Murphy's slip was still punished.

He'd have it rescinded even under the current rules.
That's a completely different example, Murphy was sent off for losing control and sliding into a player. We're talking about diving here.

Do you not think if Zaha did not simulate so much, then maybe he would not get more penalties, Refs know him, confirmed by an ex Ref and will not get many penalties as he has been taught to go down when touched, confirmed by Pardew. Him and Palace cant have it both ways. Was listening to the debate on the radio yesterday afternoon and the amount of callers mentioning Zaha more than others surely can not be a coincidence. I know we have them as well, but the sheer delusion from Palace fans believing that Zaha does not dive is frankly quite remarkable when the whole country think he does. Fact is, he is a talent and does not need too, is a real shame.
