1 yellow for diving in 18 months would suggest your talking bollox :wink:

Except for some inexplicable reason, refs don't always produce a yellow when someone has dived. Winni has long held deep-seated "gravity issues" though. He's known for it.

You seem a bit confused by all this. It is the very occasions when he's gone over and is NOT booked that we are interested in.

You can't really expect a Palace fan to understand a big word like "retrospective" though.

He folded up his legs before Dann contacted him - point of contact below.

If he is banned then we get the worst of both worlds, as he won't be available against teams that we need to overhaul.

Really?

Surely Everton, two points above the drop zone, ARE one of the teams you need to have in your sights? :shrug:

It's amazing that this is the first of the season in the PL. The more players are caught, the more likely they and others are to stop.

The punishment should be deduction of points gained from the match plus one more. That should be enough of an incentive for clubs to get their players to stop doing it.

Interesting idea there. That really would make clubs come down heavily on cheats.

Ooh, that's horrible.

So, just to check - is the retrospective ban only for occasions where the ref was conned during the match, like Niasse, and not ones where the diver failed to win the penalty, like above?

The diver will only face action if a match changing decision has been made through conning the ref.

Eg: red card/penalty

Ok. So, a dive that is so blatant that no-one is fooled (like the one in the GIF above) can only be punished at the time.

Thanks

While I applaud the sentiment over this I think it is being done haphazardly. The three officials are trusted to be impartial and sometimes they will make mistakes. Goal-line technology is fine but this is opening a can of worms. What next - a goal being scored from a corner that wasn't? We've lived with incorrect decisions for years and years and it makes for debate down the pub. The referee on Saturday gave it as he saw it. If he was conned so be it but Everton can't complain if they are robbed of two points on Saturday if an opposing forward does the same thing. It's time for the clubs to clamp down on this. (Some hope)
