sincity said:Even if the goal stands, I don't see why the FA cannot retrospectively punish Crouch for cheating, if it can be proved that he did it purposely. Doing nothing only emboldens players to dive and cheat to win the game..
Agree with you. Can't see any difference between Crouch's deliberate handball to try and gain an advantage and Suarez throwing himself down in the box to try and win a penalty and he gets a yellow. Probably comes down to reputations (Suarez the pantomine villain and loveable old Crouchy) and incompetent refereeing.
