Remember when Gerrard got that pen v Sheffield Utd by doing a blatant dive and the pundits passed it off as he got a deserved penalty for ‘the intent to foul’ even though there was zero contact.

Whole game is corrupt. It’s ultimately the problem with video refs too. At some point there’ll be a human making a decision and where football in England is concerned that person will invariably be a Liverpool or United supporter.
 

We obviously know now it was upheld as expected.

The FA has an over 99% success rate on appeals as the verdict and sentence (not applicable here) are set in stone before any appeal takes place

Steve Bruce once famously called the appeals hearings a Kangaroo court and although the procedures may have changed, they still very much are.

Senseless decision and zero consistency, easy target deliberately chosen and appeal unsuccessful as 100% of appeals always are.

Very dangerous precedent set but then this isn't a court of law, and the FA can just ignore any precedents when it suits (Liverpool, United, City, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea) and just focus their efforts on the clubs who they can target (the other fourteen) and preferably not players who are established media favourites

Scott Dann's place in history now assured: a no mark, won nothing, yard dog who was responsible for the first ban in English football for the act of 'simulation' due to his grassing up a fellow professional.

Well in you 'kin Kopite snout. Take a bow.

Every club from now on that feel they have had a player dive against them to win a pen will be grassing that player up to the FA, I can see a busy and torrid time ahead for the FA after this decision.

I really hope that we have one of the top clubs players blatantly dive this weekend to win a pen, just to see the FA's reaction to it, especially with it being not long after them banning Niasse.
 
"clear and overwhelming evidence" in the FA's own words has to be the criteria for a charge.

Did the Niasse incident with clear contact even come into that category? Did it bollocks.

The ONLY way a United, Chelsea, City, Arsenal or Liverpool player are being charged is if there is no challenge at all that they go down under.

Imagine the scope for this though: a player who dives and clearly dives might not be reported / WONT be reported if that talented cheating predator of a forward is needed in the next few games when they come up against a close competitor in the table to the team transgressed against.

The tactical use of this is an issue. It'll be weaponised by clubs who dont want to see rivals not having to face the player who cheated them.

Unreal.
