Diving footballers

[maygo]

Should be hung out to dry by the F.A., charged with bringing the game into disrepute. It's basically cheating

[sunderlandimp]

spot on..

i would opperate a 3 strike rule

1st Offense Written Warning
2nd Offense Fine one months wages given to charity & 1 Match Ban
3rd Offense 10 Match Ban & Community Service to be able to get your playing license back. Make them go into schools prisons etc. Make them see how lucky they are

and yet in everybody cool's favourite league, la liga, this is the accepted thing

No basically about it, match video should be looked into and dives should be punished with 2-3 match bans

Absolutely.
Then double the punishment every time, then all the cheats wil be hounded out of the game. If you are looking at a 12 match ban next time you roll about, what does that do to your market value or your next contract discussion? Think how much easier the Ref's job would be if the players didn't cheat! And wouldn't the game be more enjoyable? God forbid, we might be able to call it a Sport again.

always said that myself. like a goal that gets disallowed it changes the course of the game. like i said in another thread, they are not bothered. only bothered about goals, the more the better. they could look at incidents afterwards. if they are quite happy to ban a player for what they consider a bad challenge, diving is the same.
harder to prove i know.
With all the cameras at these games, surely they can tell whether a player is cheating.
bale and lennon are the worst. suarez is a cheat as well.
