Divers and Cheats.......A Solution

Divers and Cheats prosper in the game as we see week in week out on TV.

Their sole aim is to con the referees into favourable decisions.

Its very difficult for referees to get it right, as it is with players diving and feining injury

I think a directive should be sent to all clubs about the growing cheat culture within the game.

That players cheating and diving to con the referees will not be tolerated.......punishment would be a points deduction.

I think it would put a stop to it at a stroke.

Managers must manage their players and put some integrity back into the game , they know who the cheats and divers are
within their clubs , but turn a blind eye to it......its all about 3 points no matter what circumstances.

Take points off clubs for cheating for results, would soon put a stop to it.

Would they like to be manager of a club thats tainted with a points deduction for cheating.

even easier salution is when there is contencious issue involving penalty/sending off, it should be looked at just like retro punishement for off ball incidents if player found to be cheating he should face 1match ban does it again 2 match ban and every time after get 2 match ban soon stop it, as cant see game being stopped and incident looked at although only takes 30sec i suppose can be done and descicion reversed if wrong one given just like rugby tmo for tries really simple ideas sort game out, but fa is suitabley named do sweet fa

Its a cultural thing unfortunatley.Where we in this county view this kind of thing as cheating in other countries such as Italy they view it as being clever.With the introduction of the premier league and the influx of continentals that that came with it,it was only a matter of time before home grown players started copying them.Christ,you even see it at junior level.It would be a good thing pehaps if players that are victim of cheating could look for redress in a court of law rather than being judged by football authorities.Players accused of match fixing are treated as such,why not players who cheat to try and get players sent off.

There is a simple solution to stop the cheats and divers you just fine the manager and coaches, Can you imagine Fergie would have been skint when Ronaldo was playing and if he was fined today over Young he would soon put an end to it or get them out of the club. Diving would soon stop

Like the fines Fergie got by refusing to do BBC interviews and just got the club to pay.
