BlackSocksRedTops 3,806 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It is one of most horrible aspects about modern football. My cure for this particular illness is simple. Don't ban or fine the offending player. Players can be replaced and have enough money to not have to worry about fines. The only way to stop this to dock the players team points. Imagine the reaction from the fans, fellow players and manager if their pathetic actions prevented them gaining 3pts. 3pts that could be the difference between winning and losing a league or a cup or getting relegated. If that was the case they would soon think twice about cheating. Simples 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconan punishments because some get so stressed about it is a disproportionate and unworkable folly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then... a Rangers player gets sent off in a crucial game due to a player feigning injury and it in turn hinders us from winning and claiming 3pts. This in turn loses us the league. Would you be cool about it? Edited September 24, 2018 by BlackSocksRedTops 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
