He is a class player but has fallen foul of some undesirable behavior. Too much diving. Not sure why the FA don't introduce new powers to punish obvious dives. The ref cannot be expected to get it right all the time although they do very well imo.

it depends how far they take it though, because if a player goes down when there is contact, then they could argue that if they stayed up when then they wont get anything

Bale's dive was terrible but Suarez's was easily worse. Both deserve retrospective punishment.

Agreed. It is a difficult one. If a player is running at pace the smallest of touches could unbalance them and make them fall when it looks like a dive.

Some dives are obvious though and the player is looking for the slightest touch before going down.

initially, i think they should only introduce it for dives where there is zero contact, and give them match bans, with times where there is contact but its obvious that it shouldnt be a penalty, start by giving them a warning, then a ban if it happens a second time over the course of a season

Yet another defeat for this Newcastle side then.

Does that leave us 12th now?

Be afraid

Need some serious improvements to my first team. Need to be done quickly as well to get out of the relegation fight.

However, this team is very high quality so where do I need improving?

Would say at the back without doubt. Also don't think your midfield two would work as a two.

I don't agree with bans for diving.

You don't get a ban for a professional foul or deliberate hand ball. One is just as much cheating as the other for me.
