I don't know. Maybe because the Dida one didn't involve on-field in-play action, well, not with other players anyway.
The Dida one was a while ago though so looking back for precedents probably isn't the best way to go.
Well we saw Bendtner got in trouble at the Euro's, so i guess its how bad Uefa think the offence is.
They could not ban Eduardo as it was clear more people would dive and they look like mugs if they did not ban them all.
I'm all for retrospective banning of diving, so long as they do the same for half the things Stoke get away with on a weekly basis.
Rivaldos was the best though
Wonder which club he was at he learned that from...
Yeah like he did not dive before he joined Barca.
I think punishment on dives has too many grey areas to enforce properly, therefore I'd say the best thing to do would be change how fouls can be committed. Also, more specificlly for pelanties to have a bit more of a specfic requirement than just being fouled anywhere in the area.
Never said he didnt
It should be down to the manager to stop diving. Maybe a points deduction needs to be introduced. So any players who dive loose points for their club and that way managers will make sure they don't.
Pretty much is disgraceful that they are allowed to get away with it and its been for so many seasons now. 4 years in the prem and they still use this excuse we play this way cause its the only way we know.
