Will be three kopites or kopite sympathisers guaranteed. Bit like these ‘balanced’ media panels for games which involve that lot when 2 of them are dyed in the wool ex reds and the third actually played for them as well as the other team and prefers Liverpool. Case in point Hamann being the Man City pundit whenever they play Liverpool.

I hope the club lobby that panel every single week for the rest of the season with every other dive of equal or worse simulation than Niasse’s.
Use your eyes mate, clear contact there.

I'd muff dive ya Maa
Only just read this so apologies if its already been featured here. You might know this ta-ta of a referee would have chimed in early doors about it.
What a motley crew of self opinionated soundbiters had obviously gathered by Sunday evening by all accounts. Pity sub iudice laws re media comments dont apply to F.A. Kangaroo Courts. Clattenburg has evidently picked up his forensic expertise of diving during his holidays with the Gerrards

Writing in The Times on Sunday, Mark Clattenburg, the former Premier League referee, said he felt that it was a clear
dive. “I’ve watched it from three angles and this is clear simulation,” Clattenburg said. “It should be the first case where a player is suspended for deceiving the referee into awarding a penalty.
“There’s no touch on the leg and Oumar Niasse’s action — he has thrown himself backwards — is not consistent with contact from the defender. The only action you are then trying to find as a referee is a clear shirt-pull as, if you touch the player in the chest, he would not fall back like that. If the system is fair and correct, this is a prime example which should result in a suspension.”

He dived. Don't bother giving out that contact shjite either, it's a contact sport.
The problem is that across the league, and certainly for the top 6, this will not happen to them under any circumstances.
We've been well and truly had off here.

The FA have now set the standard. If they stick to it and dish out punishment to simialr offences then fair enough but i would be surprised we see another player punished this season

This wording below is perhaps the best description of what the word diving is meant in football terms
In association football, diving is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by falling to the ground and possibly feigning an injury, to give the impression that a foul has been committed. Dives are often used to exaggerate the amount of contact present in a challenge. Deciding on whether a player has dived is often very subjective, and one of the most controversial aspects of football discussion. Players do this so they can receive free kicks or penalty kicks, which can provide scoring opportunities, or so the opposing player receives a yellow or red card, giving their own team an advantage. Diving is also known as simulation (the term used by FIFA), and Schwalbe (German for swallow).
To date three have been punished under the rule change.
Sound. It's not a dive.

Knew this kopite Bell would pipe up. They all couldn’t help themselves. Problem with this new ruling is that the media will now use propaganda to ban who they do or don’t want. If Coutinho dives next week, the entire kopite establishment will close ranks, they’ll be getting Clattenburg and Poll to pump their columns claiming it wasn’t a five, they’ll have every pundit on the tv saying the same. Equally if a player from a lower team before a big title deciding game takes a contentious fall they’ll all be out trying to get him out of the next game. This will open Pandora’s box no doubt about it.
