Rejected petition Three Match Ban For Diving In Football
More details
Diving is cheating but yet there is no real punishment for it. A yellow card if spotted by the referee is all the player in question recieves. I believe my suggestions could be a possible step in stamping out simulation.
1. If the referee believes a player is guilty of simulation he should be red carded and handed a three match ban.
2. If a player is booked or sent off for being accused of fouling a diving player, upon appeal the decision should be reversed and the player guilty of simulation should be handed a three match ban.
3. If a dive has been missed by the officials during the game the FA should after give that player a three match ban.
4. If a player is guilty twice in one seasion it should result in a six match ban.
5. And three times in one season it should be a nine match ban plus a heavy fine.
