Come on, move on.
The player, most people agree, took a dive. Not the first, certainly won't be the last.
He has been retrospectively punished. Hopefully anyone who tries to win a penalty unfairly will receive the same punishment in future.
For what it's worth, I think Gordon Smith's well-quoted opinions on the subject kind of forced everyone's hand.

I agree as well but if the shoe was on the other foot how would you feel?
Also it is not a 12 yellow card offence is it?
Nacho,
If it was a Celtic player, I'd be p!ssed off that our player was being banned for a yellow card offence.
But I would accept that a precedent had now been set. Any player who gains an unfair advantage on the pitch is now subject to the same punishment.
