And quite rightly so. Yes, he cheated. Yellow card offense in-game if the ref sees it, should be no worse a punishment if the ref doesn't see it.
They've realised that they've opened a can of worms with this and stopped it. If he was banned then each and every one that was caught diving must be banned. Too much paperwork for em
Utter disgrace, he should've been banned for the whole competition. Our game shouldn't condone cheats like him.
We have had some quality divers down at oakwell over the years, to stop it you have to stop everything thats not fair which would spoil football. Its up to the referee to manage the game and spot the dives.
If someone dives, straight away send them off and give them an automatic 5 game ban. That'd soon stop it.
Good decision in my book....Diving happens, and to be fair some are fecking hilarious.... Ronaldo does some toppers, and best player in the game today....? Keep the diving, i love it, gives the blood in my veins a good pump, only mind if its one of my two teams the decision goes against....
I'd prefer to clamp down on the players that fake injury, they hold up the game get players booked and sent off and my blood boil.
