Thread: Retrospective diving bans

    Retrospective diving bans

    Following on from the news that the Football Association would look at retrospective action for diving this season, the all important panel responsible for reviewing footage after each match day has now been named.

    A three person panel will be chosen each week from a pool of 13 former players, managers and match officials and will review footage of a Monday to look for match effecting incidents of diving or feigning injury where the clear aim was to gain an advantage through an act of deception.

    Players unanimously found guilty will be banned in future, but this will only occur in cases where the offending player's team were awarded a penalty or saw the opponent sent off.

    Yellow cards or red cards will be automatically rescinded in such circumstances.

    The exact wording from the FA is 'successful deception of a match official' and applies to the following cases.

    ...the offending player`s team has been:-
    awarded a penalty; and/or
    an opposing player has been sent-off where the act of simulation and/or feigning injury led to a straight red card or caused one of the two cautions that led to the dismissal.

    The panel pool are:

    Former Players/Managers:

    Nigel Adkins
    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Terry Butcher
    Lee Dixon
    Alex McLeish
    Danny Murphy
    Chris Powell
    Trevor Sinclair

    Former match officials:

    Keren Barratt
    Steve Dunn
    Mike Mullarkey
    Alan Wiley
    Eddie Wolstenhome

    They will only review footage where there is an obvious case to answer and given any conflicts of interests, clubs played for or managed will be factored into which pool member gets the call.

    With a number of pundits on the panel, it'll be interesting to watch post match comments for indications.

    Only way to stamp it out.

    Punishment should include forfeiting the game, that'll stop it overnight.
