That's the problem with rule, it should apply whether the ref has been deceived or not but that would impinge on the authority of the onfield ref and FA don't like (rather stupidly) doing that.

Technically also applies to a second yellow
but yes.The problem is that generally footballers take quite a different view to "diving" - unless they are on the receiving end.
The perceived wisdom is they have to go down, with the slightest touch because otherwise the referee wouldn't see it. It's now part of their thinking. Obviously not in this case, but I'm sure many footballers go down automatically because it's become part of the "training" and sometimes "get it wrong".
What wouldn't trip you over in the street will trip over a footballer.
Long bans post match the only answer - will stop very quickly. They simply need to be trained not to dive.

Indeed will be interested to see if all the plaudits are accurate.
Just to be clear, I’m supporting Ben White tonight, not Dirty Leeds!

SSN transfer show reporting that Tottenham and Man Utd are interested in signing Ben White.
Hope his head doesn't get turned as would like to see him in the stripes next season alongside Lewis Dunk

So the thoughts of those who wanted White in in our team now instead of Webster after that mistake?
Clearly a big talent but he’s definitely in the best place to continue his education playing for a genius in Bielsa. Leeds are lovely to watch.

You could be talking about Norwich last season. They have a very dodgy defence over 90 mins

I totally agree. I’ve got no issue with it, especially when you play like we and Leeds do. I just feel Webster has been unfairly criticised this season for similar when he’s also learning in his first season in the premier league. I think the talk of White coming in instead of him now is premature.
And any player who gets to play under Bielsa is a lucky player. Let him learn from him as much as possible.

Real good test for him tonight v Lacazette. Looks very classy but almost caught twice. Bielsa is a wonderful coach.
