The Watford handball goal was so obvious I can't believe the officials didn't spot it. I sometimes wonder what they are watching because it certainly isn't the game. Mind you, some linos do spot offside and handball and the numpty f**kwit of a ref overrules them anyway.

It's bizarre that a player can be banned retrospectively for diving to win a penalty but there's nothing that can be done to punish someone who simulates a goal by punching it in with his hand while to pretending to head it.
The whole simulation crackdown is a good concept but unfortunately it is left to those clowns at the FA to implement.

if that deliberate hand ball goal for Watford goes unpunished then its a farce.

Although we're not the only ones to get punished, we're one of the few of many - so many that it's paranoia-inducing

We aren't the only side that's been punished since the rule came into force.

After all the dives I've seen this season I am baffled as to how we are the only side punished.
It's not as though ours was the worst, and there was clear contact.

More importantly, why the fuck does Sterlings arse stick out so far when he's running. Freak!

thanks I didnt know that. So players only get punished for successful attempts to con the ref. I suppose unsuccessful attempts should be dealt with by a yellow card.
Still dont agree that this will stamp out diving, it just encourages better diving!

Did it lead to a goalscoring incident or a Red Card? Believe that is the only time punishment can incur.
