I don't disagree with the sentiment but having a video ref decide this on the spot will achieve the same end result & allow the team who would have suffered if it was handled retrospectively to profit.

Sarge- Yes I would, that was outright cheating.

I have never celebrated a Blackpool goal but when they stole it in the last minute I did. If I were a Blackpool player I would have marched straight over and celebrated right in front of the cheating cunt.

The Luton penalty tonight.

Do you ban hylton?

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
The whole point brooking is that once players start getting banned, they will start cutting out the play acting.

Managers will also start having a word once the cheats are missing important games.

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Who decides what 'dives' get looked at retrospectively?

How does this help the team who were on the receiving end of a player diving and winning a game changing free-kick/penalty or sending off?

Need a video ref. or forget this daft process they have outlined.

*cunty behaviour

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
ALWAYS makes me think the FA are well dodge just by the fact they try and bring something in that STILL balances out better for the bigger clubs.

It so obvious the games as a whole and as it has so much on the field antics going on needs the video ref.

It would add to the game waiting for the verdict on county behaviour.

It's also why football should NEVER be considered a role model for anything.

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
If the dive is in the area to try & get a pen I think a red is more appropriate
Tempted almost to award a pen to the other side at the same time
If only to see Dele Alli lynched by Spurs fans

El Scorchio 6:27 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
They tried this before anyway didn't they? Basically straight away Eduardo got done for diving for Arsenal then there was an outcry and they just stopped doing it.

Chigwell 6:24 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Well of course the video ref system is best and fairest. But the FA never introduces any change until the press and public clamour is irresistible.

Lee Trundle 6:24 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
It won't work.

Scotland have been doing pretty much this since 2011 and they're still having players dive 6 years later.

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
I agree with Sam. Don't see the point of this when video ref's can sort the matter out in real time. Obviously use this for stuff ref and video ref can't see like off the ball stuff. But really if a bloke dives and the ref thinks he did then he can check with video ref and if he dived give him a yellow and other team a free-kick.

Sven Roeder 6:18 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
For example the recent Man U v Swansea game
Video ref reviews the Rashford pen. Takes 30 secs to award Swansea a free kick & Rashford a red card
Justice

El Scorchio 6:17 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
I definitely agree with him.

It's the same as red cards getting rescinded afterwards or or unpunished violent conduct being retrospectively punished. The damage is already done to the wronged team.

Scorch, that is the reason for the BFS view of all this.

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Motspur, BFS is not against it though, in fact he wants it done better and with immediacy.

El Scorchio 5:57 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Trouble is a retrospective ban won't help a wronged team if the player dives in a game, gets a penalty and his team wins. The ban will be seen as well worth it for three points.

Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Would love instances like the one with Jones triple rolling for Man United to get Fegs sent off to be punished there and then tbh.

Red card reversed and put on the real offender would be great for the game.

Willtell 5:42 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
Surprisingly I agree with BFS. The technology is there for a video referee to make an on-the-spot call for what are going to be penalty appeals. The ref thinks it's a foul and a replay shows it's a dive or vice versa. Either way the game was stopped anyway...

Motspur Park Hammer 5:35 Thu May 18
Re: Diving bans: Football Association expected to approve retrospective action
The reason Allardyce is against this is because one of his own players, Wilfred Zaha, spends his entire fucking career falling over.
