Tom Daley impressions

Happy lets start a random football/soccer thread day!

 

Love the guy, but this is dreadful

Its like he's attempting 'the worm'

 

Haha, he still could've gotten to the ball as well

 

Needs to work on the fake tan, hair and splash.

 

Nah, he makes no attempt to actually plant his right foot when he goes down. Carragher's leg was slightly left in, while not being that close to the player, so he thought he'd take a tumble and see if he could get a pen.

 

FA could turn to retrospective action to ban game's divers by tweaking disciplinary code at end of season

The Football Association could introduce retrospective disciplinary action against divers at the end of the season if the game’s key stakeholders, including top Premier League clubs, come together in support of such a move.

Article 146 of Fifa’s disciplinary code explicitly states that national associations are “at liberty to choose the means and wordings” of the relevant provisions.

A Fifa official told Telegraph Sport: “Article 146 means that any FA are at liberty to choose the wording of certain elements of the disciplinary code. What clearly could not happen would be for any amendments to be made to existing regulations during the course of the season.”

Circumstances in which national associations could take their own action include obvious errors in the referee’s disciplinary decisions and imposing additional sanctions.

The policy that was agreed between the FA and its various stakeholders, including Fifa, however, was that retrospective action would relate only to off-the-ball incidents that were missed by all the match officials or cases of mistaken identity.

Thoughts?

 

Pretty much, starting to punish players for 'diving'

I think it could be a good idea. Say they get a panel of 4, an ex player, ex manager, ex referee and someone from the FA looking at the 'talking' points on the weekend on Monday morning and bans given to players if they all agree. If one member disagrees, then the benefit of doubt goes to the player.

 

Stonewaller.

 

Nope. It's absurd.
