Sterling, Kane and Boyle would be out for half the season if they admitted to simulation.

Small comfort to Fulham

 

 


Actually full credit to Fulham boss Marco Silva in his post match comments. Correctly called it as a dive but didn’t try to blame the referee for the final 4-1 defeat after being a goal up at half time. (The penalty gave Coventry a 2-1 lead). Most managers would have claimed that it was the crucial moment in the game.

When it says he has admitted to simulation, is it not simply a case of him being charged with simulation by the EPL and he has accepted the ban rather than challenge it. Not some altruistic act of contrition to step forward and ask to be banned.

 

I'm surprised the championship doesn't have VAR yet. They spend a lot of time talking about how it is one of the most watched and richest leagues in Europe. Imagine it will be introduced in the next couple of years.

I think it is more of the case of being charged with it. He could have said he lost his balance. These are the kind of things Kris Boyd and Andy Walker come out with when it's a clear dive.

 

So this Coventry player has admitted to trying to con the officials but only gets a 2 match ban ?

 

Think it has to be at least 5
