A League Diving Crackdown

[The Coon Dog]

A-League coaches throw their support behind FFA's diving crackdown (http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25865402-5000940,00.html)

FFA has confirmed it would bring in new disciplinary measures that will allow A-League players to be retrospectively cited for “simulation''.

The A-League's match review panel will go over games to find instances of simulation missed by the referee, where players have won penalties or had opponents sent off.

Players found guilty of diving can receive suspensions of up to two weeks.

The league will become only the second in world football, behind the Scottish Premier League, to impose such sanctions.

Fantastic implementation and really its takes some balls to go against FIFA's wishes so they should be appaulded.

I've always thought that if Matty Lloyd had spent more time competing for the ball and less time waving his arms around looking at the umpire he'd have kicked 1,000 goals.
