Should things like this be acted on after the fact ?

Retrospective banning ?

 

[paulbefc]

Yes. Get it out of the game.

 

[tommye]

10 game ban.
It would stop immediately.

 

[toffeejack]

the obvious answer is yes, pulis calls it right. sadly those in charge are morons. you get punished more for taking your shirt off scoring a last min winner

 

[Groucho]

Yes. Retrospective bans from tv evidence would make divers pack it right in.

Who is going to be the first to say no just to popcorn?

 

[ijjysmith]

Hell to the yes.

Relegate Saints as well. The bad tits.

Ban loads of things on footy, diving is not one of the most important things.

 

[electricblue]

Yes they should. But where do you draw the line ? Only if it cost a goal ?

 

[Kurt.]

No.




I'm old school,,, Tv replays will ruin the game..... if the ref sees it he gives it....if he don't you play on...simples.....some go for you some go against....move on.

 

[Allezfan]

Still don't see why diving is so much worse than all the other ways of cheating (fouls, handballs, timewasting, lying to officials etc).

 

[Kurt.]

Let the Ref run the game... Not TV or newspapers...... sods law is they are not gonna get everything right all the time.

 

[Allezfan]

The moment you as a player shout for a throw in or a corner that came off you or tell the ref you never touched that guy you chopped in half, you lose all right to complain about diving.

Refs don't though, these refs that are decent let the game flow, and you don't see them making a name for themselves. So if a third eye camera like hawk eye can spot a dive, or any of the ball incident, what does that take away from a good ref?

The **** refs that make a name for themselves or miss decisions consistently, they are the ones who should worry about technology undermining them, because it will replace their poor decisions making, and ultimately their jobs.

This doesn't make any sense. If there was a retrosective banning, it would be under the jurisdiction of those that enforce the laws of the game, not "TV or newspapers."

If there is no punishment of this sort of thing, it can reasonably argued that refs are not "running the game" particularly well and could maybe do with a bit of help.
