I think they should.

That was meant to come in at the last world cup but FIFA changed their mind.

It's a good idea, but a bit too much of it would be down to the ref's interpretation.
People would just be TOO pissed off if their striker was unfairly schythed down, then sent off too.

No more pissed off than the fans who's team concede a penalty to some cheating gobsite.  |

It's a good point. But you can imagine if we were playing, with Mr Styles in charge, we'd be town to ten after 5 minutes! It's just too easy to get sent off for no good reason.

Roberts just did a dive and the ref didn't book him.  |

I stick with my original thread,but give the cheats a long ban say 6 games.They may decide not to try cheating their way to victory in future. |

there's nothing stopping the fa viewing games at the end, then fining and banning players though.......
and then maybe beating them with a pointy stick..... ;D

I think that a player that tries to con the referee and cheat to gain a penalty,
should be yellow carded.... but given an immediate ban aswell, say 5 matches.
so even if the ref did not see it, it could be examined after, and then the offender could be punished.
This would certainly stop players diving IMHO

Roberts just did a dive and the ref didn't book him. It wasn't JUST A DIVE! It was the most blatant jump and fall to ground that I've ever seen! and for the ref to completely ignore it was disgraceful! All the way through the match the Wigan players went to ground every time a Stoke player came near them, and the ref invariably gave the free kick. Although I will concede that Clarkey 'got away' with his foul on a Wigan player , but it looked if both ref and linesman didn't know who had committed the foul! Will the incident be used in a 'Specsavers' advert I ask myself!  |

i agree owb, its a definite booking offence and perhaps should be a red in really blatant situations. what annoys me is when the big premiership teams dive against minor opposition in the FA cup, Kewell went down like a cheap whore every 5 minutes against Yeovil!
Roberts should have been booked for the dive and booked for the kicking out, red was harsh but i suppose it made up for the injustice of the first half
