ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
A-league to get tough on divers apparently
- Thread starter dru

It will be interesting to see how consistant they get on it as the season goes on, if archie thompson or robbie fowler took a dive in the last game of the season i highly dobut the ffa will suspend them for the final series and will most likely give them the 'benifit of the dobut' of if it was a dive or not

I look forward to players from all clubs (except SFC, Melb & GC) being done for diving.

I love the idea of match review and action on divers - it's very difficult for the referee to spot with certainty (and even then, many lack the courage to caution divers). I've been saying for ages that the only way you can really take action agaisnt divers is using video review and taking strong action agaisnt them.
Still, the HAL judiciary has shown in past seasons that it lacks integrity. Nobody in their right mind could possibly accuse them of maintaining a fair and consistent approach to all teams and players.
As such, I can see a great idea being executed poorly.
Also, like the referee, the video review panel will have to allow the player to have the benefit of the doubt - the accusation of a dive must be irrefutable, and if there's any doubt at all he'll have to get off. This means the entire decision comes down to being lucky enough to have the right camera angle on the incident.
Simulation was getting out of control - it sickened me to the core to see how frequently our team in particular began to take up diving.
There's also a difference between diving, and making a foul look worse than it is. Also, it's difficult to tell if something really is a dive when there's contact.
I think there is a risk of referees being even more reluctant to caution for diving - but they shouldn't be; after all, if they caution a diver and that player commits a bad tackle later on, that's 2 yellow cards. In otherwords, that caution can still change the match.
Where do you get that from?
