Gaz FFC Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 After watching Jamie Walker getting pulled in and a 2 game suspension I was wondering if this only happens with high profile penalty dives? Seen 1 of the Rangers players take a no contact header v Hamilton last Saturday and as far as I'm aware, no punishment for him. Is it only in the event of a penalty that these will be pulled in? If it's not, what's the criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's really just to make an example of them, in my opinion. You'll see loads of dives go unpunished this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIII Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I wonder if the new rangers will be hauled to the compliance officer in regards to once again singing sectarian songs?Or most likely swept under the carpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 a 2 game ban seems severe for something that would only get a yellow card if the ref sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea is to put players off cheating. A retrospective yellow wouldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 suppose it would put them off if they applied it to every game. i just think it is a bit much, 1 game ban would better match the crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 If the referee sees it, then the player doesn't gain advantage by cheating. If he doesn't see it, and as Craig says there is a penalty or red card as a result, they've gained an advantage which is obviously where they are looking to apply the stronger punishment. Agree consistency, with most things in Scottish Football, is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We've had Brian Graham done for a dive, Tam Scobbie for a head-butt, Lee Croft for a dangerous tackle,Frazer Wright for an elbow, James McFadden for a GIRUY and Brad McKay calling Juanma a cheat.

It will get interesting if the dive leads to a free kick and is converted to win the game. I already hate the fact you can't appeal a yellow card and only a red. What if the yellow is 1 of 2 or leads to a points ban? How's that fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The compliance officer is no more than a mouthpiece for the old-firm when they've been hard done by. There must be dozens of cases where the old firm have got away with not being pulled up by the compliance officer. John Guidetti taking a dive for a penalty at Tynecastle = no further action.
