just know diving bans will only apply occasionally to mid/lower table teams and constantly to us, they're so gleeful about it they're not hiding how much they're going to screw us over, what is the point...

Must start the season positive......that said I was screaming at the referee in that spuds friendly.

I'm not sure they can do that. It will be quite obvious if clear dives go unpunished.

What about clear elbows to the face going unpunished

Edit and clear 2 footed challenges going unpunished

"Referee saw the incident; no further action"

There is no get out on a dive - either a dive is deemed not to be one (and will be mocked), or a dive must be reviewed.
The ref is taken out of the equation, because it only applies for card decisions/penalties, so the ref must have been deceived for it to be reviewed.

Not seen the papers this morning, assume there's a few United drug scandal headlines ?

I was listening to Talkshite just after 7 this morning

I kid you not but the 2 muppets on air did refer to it - but FFS they were talking how the 2 match ban is way OTT.

How fucking disgraceful is that?? If a CITY player had been uncooperative with and wearing at a drugs tester they would be demanding the club to be severely punished.

Quite possibly.
It's how it should work, and I think it will be more obvious than the "ref saw it" incidents as they will have to start claiming that dives aren't dives.

We all know how it should work but different spin will be applied

I would have to agree with your sentiment. However I don't like the use of the word "deluded" as I am sure the poster hasn't mental health issues, merely mis informed.

I prefer 'hopeful'.

It'll last until Mason first raises his bald head.
