Agreed but I am afraid they are too busy congratulating themselves on taking decisive action against Suarez. They are not likely to be that strong again for a few years.

Either that or they have lawyers working around the clock to fill in loopholes !

A player has admitted he has cheated on the pitch and there is silence - the inconsistency of the governing bodies is shocking

I do hope you're not trying to compare diving with Suarez?

I agree btw, when he's admitted diving he should get a match ban. Robben has a face you'd never tire of punching, something about him just winds me up.

Algeria should have been out of sight, you just know Germany are going to win this now......

No bitterness there then? He's been known as a diver for years and has admitted diving before. FIFA won't take any action as there are about 30 others that have dived including a Brazilian in the opening game. They won't upset the hosts as they'd have to sanction him too

Not comparing anything

A players has admitted to diving - an offence we all want to see treated far more harshly by the governing bodies and they do nothing

What sort of message does the send to the players

Just you said no consistency, was wondering what you were comparing against?

As I said I would give him a one match ban, he had about 4 practice dives before getting it right at the end of that game!! The way he throws himself to the ground is ridiculous.
 
If a guy comes out and admits he has cheated then he should be dealt with. How the hell are you meant to stamp out cheating in the game if players can admit to it without fear of sanctions?

Algeria the better team here.

Would make it three games

And not comparing the incidents etc more that they rightly send out a strong message in one incident

But ignore another incident that is a major problem in the game

It was suppose to have been stamped on in the last WC and was for a bout a week. In the end the same old story and players falling over as if shot trying to get a penalty. It wont get dealt with as the referee gave the decision at the time and they won't admit he was conned

3 probably too much for me, although better than diddly which he's getting away with.

The incidents are worlds apart though to be fair, not sure if anyone else has admitted diving before? I remember an arsenal player (Eduardo?) got banned for diving but then they rescinded that. Great message!

Yes they rescinded it because they couldnt prove he meant to dive !

For me, what makes it even more annoying with Robben is the way he jumps/twists/flies through the air. Just makes him look like a proper bell end.

Drogba taught him very well at Chelsea !
 
the way he went down was ridiculous. sometimes you have to wonder what the refs are looking at.


anyone going down in a theatrical manner would be getting told to get up.



one of my biggest gripes in professional football is when a full back is hemmed in by his own corner flag, the forward breaths on him and he falls over and buys the foul.

absolutely ridiculous. complete get out of jail free card. it should be a lot more difficult to get out of that situation than it currently is.
