2017/18 Oumar Niasse

Clause 54.3.12(a) 'except if the player in question plays for the shagite

So I've just read that the referee watched it again and confirmed he still deemed there was enough contact for a pen? So I'm assuming then he should receive a 2 game ban if they'v gone over his head as they are going against his ruling, therefore restricting him and how he referees the game.

So is he banned this weekend or refereeing?

 

[Toffeelover]

I also think the same that there was enough and have said so after seeing the video.

Unsworth said this in his presser today. He said the referee had reviewed all the video evidence of the incident after the game and maintained that he had made the right decision. So his decision is being over-ruled by overpaid TV pundits with their own agendas.

The significance of "claiming" the penalty is that it reinforces the attempt to deceive the referee.

in fact, there should be a more severe punishment for a fellow whom claims after diving rip than for one whom doesn't.

He didn't even claim

Me, I am just waiting for an Arsenal jobbo goes before this committee and then see Wenger's face.

Steven Gerrard would have only played 10 games a season if this exaggerated contact rule was around in the past.

Still remember a fault from Hibbert on him causing penalty and red card...barely any contact with the referee waiting on Gerard to tell him what to do!

The Clattenburg derby.

 

[Mozza1987]

Just read the thing on the BBC website and basically the panel are admitting there was some contact but not enough for him to go down the way he did. But if there was slight contact then it isn't a dive is it. Ridiculous ruling

 

[tadao]

Just saw highlights of the WHU v Leic game.
So if a player gets slight contact and goes over (he dived) but, the ref isn't fooled by it, does that mean he doesn't get a ban and why didn't he get a yellow card?

I watched the match and a commentator's point was that if a player goes down and it is shown that there was no contact, he
can't be charged with diving if there was no penalty/free kick given or a sending off. I don't know if that's a correct interpretation but it makes a farce of the whole scenario and needs to be cleared up.

What are the odds that the Mighty Oumar will turn out to be the one and only player to fall foul of this debacle of a rule and it will be forgotten by next season?

I don't understand it all now because players have, in previous seasons, been booked for 'simulation' (is that a thing anymore?).
You're right, it is a farce.

The Daily Telegraph described the farce as fallout.
