There has been a long debate about the use of replays in football. I believe that the decisions balance themselves out and that this might interrupt the game too much unless there are strict guidelines on its use. Maybe the managers could have a set number of “queries” on decisions (similar to tennis). That’s for another post and not something I want to get into here or now.
Neither of these clubs is “my team”, and my team is also far from innocent when it comes to players diving. We’ve had a few in the past and I have been shocked that they have done it and gotten away with it.
I’d like to see UEFA and all Football Associations around the globe banning and fining players who have dived during a game, if it leads to a goal or not. Maybe this would make players think twice before going to ground so easily.
Here is a clip of the incident that prompted me to write this post. What do you think?
