Diving ban
Players who dive next season will face punishment. The Football Association passed a rule at their Annual General Meeting in May that will see two-match bans handed out for simulation.

The FA will also be able to rescind a yellow or red card given to the player who was deemed to have committed a foul, if the player was found guilty of diving. And players can be punished for "attempting to deceive the referee by feigning injury".

Footage will be reviewed each Monday by a three-man panel, consisting of one ex-match official, one ex-manager and one ex-player. Each panel member reviews the footage independently of the other members.

The FA will then act if there is "clear and overwhelming evidence to suggest a match official has been deceived by an act of simulation." The panel must be unanimous in their decision and players can be banned for two matches if they are found guilty.

Won't hold my breath but surely that is what this rule change was brought in for and we can appeal that this season?

Are we appealing his transfer?

Are we appealing his transfer?

no, it must be the other way round,
spurs will probably be the ones appealing his transfer.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

No, we're transferring his appeal.

Should be ok v Bournemouth. Will have to suck it up.

So this new retrospective on banning players on diving is only going to be used in a partial way? Bent as fuck yet again.

Under the FA's new simulation rules, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sergio Agüero will not be punished after incidents last night. [The Guardian]

Quite a detailed description of the Walker incident, and a one-eyed view of Schneiderlin, but the line about when simulation review will be done exposes it for the pointlessness of it.

Why can't it be done Karen?

because apparently the FA review it first and if they deem there is no case to answer for then the panel doesn't even get to review it. The FA (according to the guardian) have said that because there was slight contact then it's not a clear cut case so therefor not submitted for review. Even though the kid went down clutching his face when it was his chest that was brushed in a clear cut case of simulation the FA decide it's not worthy of the panel to review. Absolute bollocks if you ask me, they've got the chance to stamp this kind of thing out and they fuck it up at the first hurdle
