This type of play-acting brings shame on football. Once upon a time, a player who did this would be roundly condemned. Now everyone thinks it's just 'part of the game'. The authorities need to start issuing lengthy bans to players who do this.
@PaulEmbery Players should receive a red card on post match analysis
@PaulEmbery @FA and @FIFAcom could end diving tomorrow by having a five match ban for anyone who dives. And there should be a citing panel who review incidents and make a judgement on what is/isn’t a dive.
@PaulEmbery Am old enough to remember ITV Saturday afternoon wrestling .. that’s where the game is heading …. Synthetic trash!
@PaulEmbery VAR should look at these incidents and issue cards
Should have been carded for it but as usual @FA_PGMOL couldn’t possibly give hurt their favourite club. And the commentators and pundits, as usual, just laughed it off instead of characterising it as a disgusting stain on football like they did with Bissouma’s “dive” or any even fair tackle by Romero 🙄
@PaulEmbery Also picked up a yellow later too, so should actually have been sent off yesterday. Arsenal and their PGMOL safety net strike once again! Nothing ever changes.
@PaulEmbery Punish the managers for it. Touchline ban each time someone play acts.
