Originally posted by deflemonkid The new rule is a retrospective ban after the match so the ref on the day has nothing to do with this new rule. The panel will review footage of suspected simulation and judge accordingly. They'll have the full advantage of all the slow motion replays so hopefully the like of snodgrass will be getting the bans this season. I like this change, but I fear that it will mean simply that refs will be even more reluctant to book a player for diving, knowing that the simulation panel will have a crack at it on Monday morning. My hope, therefore, is that the panel are up to the task and thus make diving greater threat to a team long term than it is of benefit in the short term. Only then will managers come down on players who transgress. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
