As I said, review the incident after the game and if it's clear they've dived then ban them. If they do it again, double the ban.

I'm not sure why you'd need to take the onfield decision out of the refs hands though. Taggart might be annoyed if Nani was banned for 6 games but if you were drawing with 5 minutes to go, why not throw Owen on and tell him to take a dive (but tell the ref it was a foul - like you're suggesting). I doubt Taggart will be too bothered if Owen gets a 6 game ban :p

As soon as the decision is out of the refs hands it becomes open to abuse.

No no, its still the refs decision. However in a marginal call he could ask the player.

In the odd example it will benefit the player to lie and "take one for the team" but that is few and far between in reality.

Yes, there will be the odd situation where a player dives in injury time and will take the ban but he would be taking the dive anyway regardless under the current rules.

Hahahahahhahahahahahaaahaha... I would go on but why waste my breath on a club like Leeds, just say the name it's evident what you mean.

Did you see the incident? If you did try honestly explaining how he didn't cheat.

Why is No1newts so antagonistic? Has a problem with everyone and everything unless they support Newcastle.

Since when? I struggle to recall (offhand) anyone/any club fans I "antagonise" apart from the occasional spat, which I think it's fair to say every single person in here has at one time or another with a rival fan. Please feel free to name who it is though. Or are you dropping the generalisation bomb as well?

Anyhoo Spurs looking very impressive today.

QPR look out of their depth in the Premier League, one of the favourites to go down imo.

I hope they're this bad when we play them, they've been absolutely awful. The only thing they've done right was Bartons first ball in. They look so disjointed going forward, poor passing, no outlet, and Tarrabt looks ****.

Not very often you will see it but that is Spurs strongest team. The only position anyone could argue is Kaboul / Gallas but whoever plays alongside King usually becomes 50% better at defending. Kaboul is really starting to live up to his potential.

Could easily be 4-0 and Spurs look like they could go up a few gears if required.

Let's hope they don't switch off for the 2nd half
