Ban for play acting

As per the title, they have actually banned someone and rescinded a red card for cheating. Is this something we will ever see in the mens game? It happens all the time. Not just overreacting but holding completely the wrong part of the body. Players routinely go down holding their head and replays show that it didn't hit their head.

Some of the cheating is comically bad and yet its never punished.

Is the womens game just trying to be better while its still an easier sell?

It's also about time the Ref produced yellow cards when players approach them after an incident.

All this cheating and shouting at Ref's will soon stop.

This is another one of those things that is enforced...occasionally. They cite teams randomly for it and yet it happens every time there is a big event or controversial decision.

Jack Grealish is quite possibly the worst player in the league for feigning injury and play acting...

He doesn't tend to feign injury, he just goes down easily. He also happily cheats to force contact. The problem is that I think a lot of the time Grealish is fouled. He draws tackles and moves the ball and its often a foul. He then also forces contact like the recent City penalty which 100% should have been disallowed and he should have been carded.

The whole idea of feigning injury is to get cards for the opposition.
